So you think this is why Bandai has been so flippant concerning the PR press lately? With their "Buy more figures to get the psycho rangers!" and all that? To just get one last boost in sales before the contract ended?

Yeah, but Hasbro could somehow affect the sentai mechas designs too. Like BOA.

I hope we still end up getting some original zords. Those were nice in Dino Charge.

"The first set of products from Hasbro will be available in spring 2019. Both Hasbro and Saban Brands are dedicated to continue growing this iconic brand. In recognition of this investment, during a period of time after Hasbro becomes the master toy licensee,the arrangement between the parties provides Saban Brands and Hasbro with the opportunity to initiate Hasbro’s purchase of the Power Rangers property."
I'm sorry, what. Am I reading this right? |

I'm most concerned about the figures. Hasbro does a lot of budget garbage, and I'm not interested in Rangers with 5 points of articulation. Everyone assumes PR would get black series/legends style figures, but Hasbro could very well see how poorly the legacy line is doing and not want to get into that.
Hasbro also has the HasbroToyStore site and their relationship with Big Bad Toystore, so it's possible they could use those for distributing the higher end stuff from Japan like SH Figurearts and Soul of Chokojin if they wanted. Takara Tomy would get mad? Remember Takara Tomy and Bandai are huge rivals in Japan. And Hasbro won't want to piss off Takara too much because they co-own Transformers with Hasbro. So wait, Hasbro's going to be releasing the new Power Rangers toys from April 2019 on? Well that's interesting. Because when does Super Ninja Steel end and the next season begin? The reason I'm asking is if they are doing a two year show that would mean they'd be switching midway through it. So either we are getting a switch between companies in the middle of a show, we are getting a bit of a break between Super Ninja Steel's line and the new one, or we are getting one year shows.

They can’t. Hasbro has pre-existing agreements with TakaraTomy, whom they co-own, and more importantly, co-produce, Transformers with. As one of their huge moneymakers, Hasbro couldn’t afford to lose that ownership (and with all they money they’ve pumped into saving the film franchise after Michael Bay’s departure, they are looking at bolstering it instead).
TakaraTomy and Bandai are HUGE rivals in Japan, and Hasbro would never want to make an enemy of TakaraTomy. I imagine that this deal will already have shaken the waters between them, and so Hasbro will want to lean away from deepening ties with Bandai, not toward it.
