As to BOJ and Toei.

BOJ making Power Rangers merch is likely over but of course doesn't impact Sentai figures being imported into the US.

Hasbro would probably be subject to the same terms as Saban until the contract expires.

It would be interesting. Unlike Disney, Hasbro bought these assets for Power Rangers as opposed to inheriting it as a package deal.

Kinda hope they bring back Mystic Knights.

My Little Mystic Knights.

Just in time for Hasbro to put them into the Hasbro Cinematic Universe


Yup....we're on the verge of seeing a Power Rangers/Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover.

[Darth Gonzo]

I wonder if Hasbro also got VR Troopers, Beetleborgs, Masked Rider, & Mystic Knights, with Power Rangers?

I would wager this is just like the former Disney deal, Saban transfers all their rights to Hasbro. Toei still retains all their rights to the Power Rangers brand just like they did with Disney. My real wonder is if PLEX will still design Power Ranger exclusive material.

First hurray for more media consolidation, that's just what the world needs... Also this isn't surprising it seems like Saban only wanted the brand back so it could be sold off again.

Hmmm... I wonder if Toei and their partners may start pushing other properties internationally.

Also back to Union writers & actors because Hasbro works with Union writers & actors.

Thoughts:

1) Will be interesting to see if Hasbro pushes now for a Power Rangers movie sequel or attempts to reboot. I could see them going with a sequel as the first film did well with audiences it just wasn't a blockbuster. On the other hand they may want to reboot so they can have their Hasbro Universe with Power Rangers as a part of it... there are a TON of ways you could link the mythos to Transformers, GI Joe, so on

2) People are concerned about Boom!. I doubt they will lose the license any time soon. Hasbro knows the comics are selling AMAZINGLY well. The only way I see that happening is if they poach the writers of the two series and move them to Boom!.

3) Has Hasbro ever done live action TV before? We know that they are going to go union so I imagine that we'll see filming movie to Canada after the next series but will be interesting to see what Hasbro does.

4) If we don't get by next year a Power Rangers/Transformers Crossover Combiner figure (using Grimlock, Swoop, Slug, and two new dinos) I am going to be highly disappointed.

5) There have been rumors for years that Disney wants to buy Hasbro. I wonder if this will make them even more interested.

6) If you are GI Joe fan you should be bummed because now there is a THIRD PROPERTY, after Transformers and MLP, that Hasbro will focus on before your fandom.

G.I. Joe is getting a movie in 2020.

Right but look at the toy push MLP and Transformers get. Trust me... Power Rangers will get JUST as much of a push and GI Joe is going to be shoved aside even further.

[SHINOBI03]

Is Nick getting the boot or do they still have control over the TV series?

[GoseiWonder]

So Hasbro now owns Power Rangers, does that mean that theoretically they could start adapting Rder and not violate the choke order that Ishinomori gave after seeing how awful Masked Rider was?
