Some of the official props and costume images for the upcoming auction have been revealed, and there are some interesting pieces to say the least.

Master Splinter looks tired. Very tired.

Actually seeing all these listings is horrendous.

Literally decades of television production history just thrown out there with no other thought besides "We can probably make money out of this before we trash it".

Y’all know this is just like, a thing that happens, right? Props from basically any tv show will end up being sold eventually, because they tend to like, degrade and rot if not taken care of, and that becomes an infeasible task when you have enough of them.

It’s highly likely that this isn’t something connected to Hasbro at all, most likely it’s more related to Saban considering there are Masked Rider props in there. If Hasbro was involved, there’d be stuff from Dino Fury and Beast Morphers, but nearly everything here is like 25 years old.

Speaking of Masked Rider, god speed to whoever gets the Black RX suit. Get that thing fixed up and you’ll have the best cosplay of all time.

Except that there is. There are props and suits from Cosmic Fury and Once & Always too.

This is purely a Hasbro thing. They own all of these props legally. They bought them off Saban. Please stop trying to pass the blame onto a company that has nothing to do with the franchise anymore.

Pretty sure I saw live displays somewhere that had Beast Morphers props too, so uh yeah this is basically everything that Hasbro currently owns which they got from Saban because of the deal.

Multiple actors have also mentioned that they weren't even given the chance to claim their props or suits when they would have gladly taken ownership of them and have expressed interest in doing as much back when their seasons were still in production.

This isn't just an attempt to sell things because they're breaking down. It's literally a purge.

I thought the Lightspeed Rescue actors were allowed to keep their team jackets, which is why Dana and Carter were wearing theirs in Super Megaforce.

As to the "purge" aspect, it is, but it's an industry standard that isn't going to cease anytime soon. When Star Trek ended production of new shows after Enterprise, Christie's took everything they had in the warehouses and catalogued it for auction. Ending up in private hands may upset some, but at least the pieces will end up in the hands of those who will care for them. Any disdain that's felt over this won't change the reality.
