That would hurt their other lines...which is not really a good idea...

Has anyone gotten their Pink Ranger yet? I’m super curious to know if the arms look better in person than they do online.
In the pics and videos I’ve seen, the upper arm is sooooo skinny that it ends up looking weird when connecting to the butterfly joint. I thought the whole point of the line was to be show-accurate, but, uh, show-Pink Ranger’s arms don’t look quite so weak and emaciated. |

Yeah it's not a good business strategy, though I don't doubt that's what they are doing. Hasbro owns Power Rangers outright. I am sure there is some licensing involved between them, Toei, and Bandai Japan. But Hasbro has a stake in these characters. They make Power Rangers content just like they do Transformers and My Little Pony. But they don't have a stake in any of the characters from Star Wars and Marvel. That's all Disney. It's only natural for a company to prop up the characters they own over the characters that's only licensed out to them. Plus Hasbro is THE toy company of North America. Bandai America has nothing but Godzilla toys and Tomagotchi out on the market right now. Mattel only has Barbie, American Girl, and Jurassic Park/World, Thomas, and Hot Wheels. I'd be here all day if I named every toy and game franchise Hasbro owns/license. So Hasbro can put out all the Ranger figures they want and not care because they practically own the toy market. But over saturating the market will cause consumers to be more selective of their purchase to outright refusing to buy anything due to too many options at once. |

I imagine that will change once the DC license officially switches over to McFarlane.

This is a few years old but to give you an understanding of what exactly are the biggest moneymakers for Hasbro and Mattel, it's not what we like. Last edited by AgentOrange; 09-11-2019 at 02:38 PM.. |

Both are monopolies in my opinion. Still not very smart of Hasbro to over saturate the market like that. It'll only come back to bite them in the ass.

And I'd hardly call two small waves of 4 released in different quarters oversaturation, even including 2 Fan Channel 2-packs and 3 single-retailer exclusives. That's a paltry amount compared to the output of something like Marvel Legends or Mattel's WWE and downright cautious on Hasbro's end. |

not my photo, but someone's local gamestop got these in, so it seems this is coming out way earlier than expected.
also I found wave 2 at my local walmart minus mmpr pink. this toyline is coming out insanely fast. Edit:My local gamestop got the two pack in and I had a friend snag it for me, so I can confirm this as not being a fluke.
