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.
