Furthermore, there is every chance that Hasbro will, indeed, use the BoJ molds.
And even if they don’t, Hasbro has to pay BoJ for the right to make Power Rangers toys in the West.
And if Takara were to design those toys, Hasbro would have to pay Takara too.

Therefore, yes, Takara would be profiting from Bandai’s intellectual property. Or rather, it’s joint intellectual property with Toei.

Bottom line, BoJ would have had to have been part of whatever negations resulted in Hasbro getting the licence, and considering how bitter rivals BoJ and Takara are, it is highly likely that a ‘keep Takara out of it’ clause would have been in the agreement.

It’s simple business studies.

Does Bandai own Super Sentai though or is it Toei?
