Hasbro doesn't put much effort into PR because they didn't want it to begin with. Only the former CEO wanted it, and when he passed, with him went the last vestige of interest in the brand.

They also have more control than you give them credit for. Compared to the Disney era, Toei has definitely loosened their grip, letting both Saban and Hasbro mash multiple seasons together for a single show (As well as seemingly no longer hard vetoing any requests for an animated series)

So far as it stands, there is one 3 (4?) teams of completely PR original teams. The Hyperforce, omega rangers, solar, and I guess the turtles. But none were a tv series. Comics and a tabletop game are far from what Hasbro probably wants to do. Technically toei had been allowing PR to mash seasons together ever since zyu2 so that?s nothing new.

The whole thing about Hasbro not wanting it from the beginning, that?s fair as I did see that news a while ago. In the end they still need to either make it profitable or sell it off. They could also just let it end. I mean the show as a whole did give us all the closure we could ask for as fans. I?m a day oner and have never stopped watching. So much so to also get my kids into to it to some degree. I?m satisfied with where it ended. Maybe not everyone is but I will be happy to see it not be forced to continue. Reboot? Sure why not. Animated series/movie adaption of comic stories? I?m here for it. Trying to force the show to continue? It?s done. Let it be done. The property shouldn?t stay dead. It just needs to have new life breathed into it.

Haven't had enough time to devote to this, but there are a few points to make.

As we've seen in PR and Sentai, "Dead Zords" don't always stay dead! They can come back and we can continue adapting Kyuranger if the desire to do so is there. Sadly, there is no desire.

I don't think that the length of time in between 2017 and now is enough of a reason to not produce a follow-up to the Movie Continuity. Scenes set in the past can be used to provide background and a setup for the present day events. The fact that some of the actors have aged only means that getting all of them back might prove difficult, but I think we could convince some of them to come back and show what happened in the interim between 2017 and now.

The long-standing theory that Zyu2 Black Ranger Zack with Tommy's Dragon Shield and armbands was the basis for Kingranger in Ohranger has yet to be mentioned here. Granted, it was Toei doing something for PR that inspired Toei, but still.

Does nobody remember the G-Zord from Timeranger? That was the mecha who canonized the term "Zord" in Sentai long before Go-Busters!

The Kyoryuger Spirit Rangers were supposedly inspired by the Jungle Fury Spirit Rangers.

Granted, a lot of these are just winks and nods and Toei taking inspiration when and where they can, but it does show that people involved in Sentai aren't always opposed to PR and are willing to give them some kind of credit where it's due. Also, Power Rangers is occasionally dubbed over for the Japanese market and the brand recognition is why South Korean dubs of Sentai use the name. It was "Power Rangers Dino Force Brave" before it was "Kyoryuger Brave"! Just sayin'.

The sheer number of PR-Exclusive Rangers is staggering and much more involved than a handful of exceptions thanks in no small part to BOOM!

Granted, some are just variants on top of variants, but the significance of such uniqueness cannot be ignored.

What aggravates me about so many of these Rangers is the sheer lack of memorabilia to promote them! Some exist largely as LC figures without any real fiction to back them up, like the Cobra Kai Crossover Rangers. Not even the Hyperforce Rangers have actual figures to their name save for tabletop figurines, and that's an issue that goes back to Saban and Bandai!

So the thing about those characters are most are just extras to existing teams. I meant specifically completely original teams. I do agree that most have barely any fiction to back them up and would love to see them get something.

Not Saban hopefully.

Share the sentiment. I don't think he was ever all that trustworthy to begin with.

Didn't the mods make an April Fools joke a year ago about Lionsgate buying the franchise outright? Maybe the mods were being unintentionally "Simpsons Predict The Future" prophetic!

If Saban Brands even still existed, I'd absolutely vouch for them getting the show back. Atleast they were all in on it.

you know how was the good time with Bandai toys.

Dino charge was the only time the Bandai of America toys were good. Though Bandai of America was being run by Greg during that time. Any time after or before that (where it wasn?t just the Japanese toy which were good) was garbage.

Disagree. The Legacy line still has the best prop replicas we've ever seen. To the point that Once and Always used the Legacy Morphers rather than the Lightning Collection ones.
