Toku Nation is saying that they've heard that Hasbro now has the license.
I think you've got it right. This is a mess lol.

Saban Brands Not Renewing Power Rangers Partnership With Bandai
- Thread starter jwk94
- Start date
Yea, TokuNation has heard it's going to Hasbro. Unconfirmed at the moment, but I trust them. I think this will be great for the toy line. Bandai America stopped caring a while ago and it's clear that things needed to be changed.
It's interesting though with all the other changes. Like the new logo. And the fact that the show has been renewed on Nickelodeon for 3 more years when lately we have gotten 2 year chunks of seasons. So a lot is changing and I'm very curious.

Yeah someone hypothesized that has Hasbro takes over in may 2019, new season in August 2019, ends in Spring 2020, then super season in August - spring 2021. Meets the renewal years so it's pretty plausible.
Guessing they're just moving to another manufacturer. I can't imagine they wouldn't be interested in money anymore. Hasbro, maybe.
Eh. You guys applauding Hasbro getting the license must not be paying attention to the recent decline in quality across all of their brands in recent years. I seriously doubt that this will result in good or better toys than wat Bandai made.
Power Rangers 2 only gets made if Optimus Prime beats the Megazord in a fist fight
...Eh the movie Megazord wasn't so hot anyways.
This is ultra.
Somebody with some cash and some foresight have a shot to do something wonderful
I was collecting the Legacy line of Power Rangers. I loved having them at that scale with that poseability, but the quality control was really, really bad and hasn't improved. I don't want the line to end, but I'm pretty sure Hasbro won't be interested in picking up where Bandai left off.
Wow. This is interesting. End of an era.

It's weird that the OG black ranger is in the very back and the yellow ranger is barely visable in the middle instead of both being infront with the rest of the OG rangers.
Hopefully Hasbro will do a few special Boom comic figures

It sounds like they'll actually target the older collectors along with kids. Much like Transformers.
Like, they'll sell the $10 plastic to kids, and then the highly detailed metal diecast for $80 to adults.

Man imagine prime era Marvel Universe line but Power Rangers.
Im not even that big of a fan but that would be amazing.

I thought I read that they had some kind of deal with Netflix. Or was that never really a thing?
i wonder if a big toy company is the next big acquisition by disney.
I'd be more into them if they didn't have sculpted muscles. At least it gave us Powerful Rangers.
Lord Drakkon 1000% confirmed

Dude would make Kalish-splosions look tame.
The comic could get some sweet merch sometime in the future.
They are already cross-promoted in the mobile game and the big event arc is based around the comic's original twists on characters. Writing the PR comic and getting to create all types of stuff has to be one of the coolest jobs right now.
I didn't find the muscles too bad on the Legacy figures compared to SOME of the figures we've had (though the women's chest-to-waist proportions were ridiculous).
But the women.... Geez.
