Saban Brands unexpectedly announced today they are ending their 25 year partnership with Bandai of America.
Rumor is that Power Rangers master toy license is going to Hasbro in 2019. |

I saw an article in The Hollywood Reporter that confirmed Hasbro has the license. If they make some in the 4 inch scale, I'd be interested.

Hasbro already has too many brands. Maybe they'll make good figure, or maybe they'll half-arse it and Power Ranger fans will regret Saban's decision.

Could be a good thing. Bandai's lack of "Swivel-arm battle grip" always kept me from buying many Power Rangers figures. Hasbro could remedy that. Or bust out a "MMPR Legends" series. Or more likely totally screw the pooch with 5-poa...

This, however, it is a very interesting bit from Hasbro's press release: Quote:
The first set of products from Hasbro will be available in spring 2019. Both Hasbro and Saban Brands are dedicated to continue growing this iconic brand. In recognition of this investment, during a period of time after Hasbro becomes the master toy licensee, the arrangement between the parties provides Saban Brands and Hasbro with the opportunity to initiate Hasbro’s purchase of the Power Rangers property.

We are so doomed.
That's essentially another competitor absorbed into Hasbro in the American Market. Bandai doesn't really mass produce anything else of note in the U.S. Confirmed: Power Rangers Moves to Hasbro in 2019 - The Toyark - News |
