Playmates Acquires the Power Rangers License from Hasbro for 2025

Get ready for some new Might Morphin fun as Playmates has announced that they are gaining the licensing rights for the Power Rangers

Looking like another nail in PR's coffin. Hasbro has even less reason to do any productions when they've farmed out the toy license (to a nostalgia-heavy outfit at that).

On the plus side, maybe they'll let Shout's Sentai releases pick up more again?

Just to clarify, Hasbro hasn't sold off the entire ip? Just the toy production rights?

I've got super fond memories of Power Rangers, don't get me wrong, but we're really to the point now where I really wish they would just Dub Sentai.

If it's a branding thing, just keep calling it Power Rangers.

Yeah, they've just sublicensed the toys.

Ah ok. Thanks for the clarification.

I don't think it's just a branding thing, considering Kamen Rider is still having it's current season just air in Japan and not be handled like most anime shows are with weeklies appearing same day/week. Some of this is just Toei being Toei also.

New scans of Boonboomger have come out and they reveal that a certain character will appear:

Go-On Red will appear in episode 12 (May 19th)!

Unlike Zero-One, Shout!'s Blu-ray edition of Kamen Rider Geats doesn't have burned-in subtitles and is sourced from 1080p24 home video masters (rather than 1080i60 broadcast masters).

Damn, that looks really good, hopefully this is a sign of things to come and Team Kamen Rider will be able to put out higher quality material from now on.

The footage and subtitles for Geats are top notch. I'm less enthused about the packaging and presentation in some areas but some of that might be out of Shout's hands.

Media Blasters update:


View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNF1wesJkcw

Back in full-blown production. Box set should include Shin, Zo, J, and World. Not looking to get dubs, Sega CD assets, etc.; just want to get moving. Subtitled only; no dubs. Price point unknown. Should look nice; slipcase or O-ring. Transfers are done for the movies, but they have to wait for Toei to do the transfer for World. Should come out pretty fast; want to get it out by the summer.

If they do individual releases down the road, they won't include World.

First and Next will be part of a subsequent set, probably towards the end of the year.

I've been seeing Gotchard stuff on Reddit intermittently and apparently the show has gone completely off the rails. 16-18 being heavily linked to the movie I can't watch is strange enough, but it sounds like there is way more weird stuff going on now.

Eh, not really. The plot can be a bit all over the place, but even at its best the plot is never super great. I wouldn't say "gone off the rails" so much as had a few weird swerves.

Always interesting to see how early Sentai color lineups got messed with. Battle fever J being Red, Pink, Blue, Green and Orange is pretty cool and the first time with the latter 2 on the main team I think? Also established orange's as being outsiders.
