Again I am not saying you shouldn't be exciting for the possibilities. Plus I will admit a lot of this critical thought is due to my worldview. That said I think being skeptical of corporate maneuvers is a good trait. |

Will Hasbro work with Bandai of Japan when it comes to toys for shared development/engineering? Or will they develop everything on their own so as to not damage the relationship with Takara

Sources indicate it's newly designed product from Hasbro, no Bandai involvement.

Considering the fact that Yokai Watch merch, which is a Bandai thing, is already handled by Hasbro in America I think it probably is fine relationship-wise. Or are they making original stuff unrelated to Bandai? If so ignore what I said.

I get where you're coming from, but there's a lot going on in this case that encourages optimism including:
Hasbro's licensing deal with Disney is up for renewal in a couple years. There's a real possibility they lose both Marvel and Star Wars. With the Transformers movie no longer raking in the cash, and the rest of the "Hasbro Universe" DOA, Power Rangers is something Hasbro needs to succeed, possibly even survive. There's also the "nowhere to go but up" aspect. Bandai America has been doing a lousy job. Even a mediocre Hasbro effort would be an improvement. |

Power Rangers is still co-license with Toei. Hasbro may not have full control over everything with PR. I remember Disney never did neither back in the 2000's.

That said, I imagine Hasbro will do their own engineering. This...may not be a good thing. Hasbro has a track record of not doing Transformers designs well when Takara isn't there to lend their expertise. Brian Chapman is the Head of Design. Depending on who they hire to work on engineering underneath him (John Warden is the Transformers senior design manager, BTW), I'm slightly afraid we may end up with a few dumpster fires before we get things properly made. |
