Re: Surprising Announcement regarding Power Rangers
Wow I can't believe he actually sold. I figured we would get hold on to it forever once good he got it back.
|
Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
Very surprised it happened now. But I figured this was coming once it was mentioned Hasbro had an option to buy. But I figured it would be five to ten years down the line. It was impossible for Saban to own the franchise forever. PR was going to get sold again. Hasbro sounds like a better fit then Disney was when they purchased the brand. They definitely want PR.

Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
I wonder what this means for Morphicon, Boom Comics, and Hyperforce? Also will the writers go union? I expect preduction to remain in New Zealand unless Hasbro has a cheaper alternative.

Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
No!!!!!This is a truely dark day for the franchise. I was hoping the Hasbro Option to buy thing was just a smokesscreen or at least wouldn't happen for long time. I can't believe Saban has given up his baby a second time, after he fought so hard to get it back. Without Saban in charge, PR is doomed. No one cares about that series as much as Haim.

Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
I am all for new owners. As the series has been gsrabage for awhile now. I just hope this isn't a disappoint like when Saban Brands bought the series.

Maybe he can buy it back again if Hasbro does a bad job.

Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
Yes, companies don't usually like to sell ip. Even if its not being used. Since if it succeeds with someone else. they look bad. We are lucky Disney was even willing to sell to Saban in the first place. Its unlikely this happens with Hasbro. Who aren't buying pr by accident and the show's toyline is related to a core part of its business! PR just didn't fit in Disney's profile at the time. Lets not forget that when Disney bought the franchise, they didn't own Marvel or Lucasfilm.

Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
I really hope that Boom is still allowed to produce the comics...and I enjoyed Hyperforce as well. As far as the show is concerned...well Hasbro really couldn't make that worse...

Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
Well - New Age with new owner should make all great. Return serious tone, age connection 10-16 from Disney Age (even higher), bring more good writing and higher budget, and refuse to fart and children's humor (which is now time to make the entire entertainment industry) and formula "2 years for one team". Also, because Hasbro have tons of problems with fans thanks to Transformers movies (let's see what be with "Bumblebee"). Plus, make great and epic work with epic soundtrack, like in better times and this:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...AB2BFC37554646 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBZna0xAhTY Also, I hope we got more quality and good games. Much better than Mega Battles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w3VgMoVJ7s With big budget and development with talent, like Platinum Games. Something like Transformers: Devastation, but with big budget. And of corse - more quality for action figures. It's also one of the reasons, why Hasbro buying franchise. But I hope, any good what we get in this decade stay. Sequel of movie 2017 we still see. Even, if it become part of Hasbro Cinematic Universe (with new Transformers reboot). And Boom still make new comic books (and don't have sad fate of Dreamwave Transformers and Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog). But I will not mind if the cause will take - IDW. And we got in this case crossovers with Transformers, G.I.Joe and - TMNT, again! :) And my final big hope - animated movies for DVD and Blu-Ray. And those movies can be epic remakes of famous stories. Like "Green with Evil" and final of "In Space". Remake of "Green with Evil" can be in 2 parts, like "Dark Knight Returns", and with more darker and serious becoming of Tommy the Ranger villain and his redemption. And remake of "In Space" final can bee bigger, more epic and massive than original. With the moment where the Astronema reveals to the whole world the identity of the Rangers and stole their powers, and the final battle with the participation of all former Rangers, more epic than Legendary Battle in Super Megaforce. Also I hope, we see adaptation of Kyuranger in 2020. |
Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
This is an awesome day! I felt this day would come when Hasbro signed the toy deal. But now its come true way quicker then I imagined! Hasbro is going to do great things with the franchise . They are a major league company and PR fits them perfectly.

Now as for some of the other poster's points. Sadly the sequel to last year's movie is basically dead now since Hasbro doesn't work with Lionsgate. Hasbro can't really do much with increasing the show's demo since they're stuck in a 3-year deal with Nick so if Nick wants something then Hasbro has to give in. |
Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
Can't they work with Lionsgate with just PR?
|
Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
Or they could just buy the rights entirely back from Lionsgate?
|
Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
In theory yes. The trouble is that its hard to get a company to part with ip , even if they don't use it. Plus even if they did they would chwrge a premium.
|
Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
Lionsgate is actually for sale. I think it might be a good idea for Hasbro to buy them. That way they have their own studio like Marvel. It would be hard to get transformers back from Paramount. But they could use PR and their other properties. Marvel had to go without Spider-Man, X-Men, and F4 for years.
|
Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
This is just ridiculous. I really hoped that Hasbro wasn't dumb enough to waste money on this brand. Hopefully they just bought it to shut it down.

Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
I think this topic is drifting a little too far.
|
Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
Not really, since we are discussing the ramifications of the purchase. Also topic drift is allowed.
|
Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
The funny part is that she is the one causing the topic to drift with her ot comment.
As for the sale. Color me excited. I do think the tv show needs a change! Plus we know Hasbro wants pr strong to sell their upcoming toyline in 2019. Sucks to be Bandai America. Who will probably go the way of the dodo. I hope this someone leads to no more Tommy after Super Ninja Steel. |

Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
I could see them using properties not signed with Hasbro. Its not like Lionsgate doesn't have other properties and the potential for original content.
|
Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
I'm excited. We needed a fresh start big time.
|
Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
Wow! So it happened again. Does PR get sold just about ever ten years or so lol.
|
Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
Seems like thats how it tends to work lol
|
Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
I'm very disappointed. I was hoping Disney would outbid Hasbro and buy Power Rangers. I don't get why Saban didn't sell back to Disney. The show would have been in great hands with them.
|
Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
Rest assured people. Hasbro may own the show but Saban is still running things. He isn't givening up PR with no production control. Not this time. Saban will continue to be the creative driving force of the series.
|
Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
I suspect Hasbro will want to bring in their own people. Saban just has the token consultant role.

Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
It all depends on how the contract with Hasbro are worded. We do know Battleship was produced by universal.
|
Re: Hasbro To Aquire Power Rangers
What a big mistake! Ditching Bandai America and selling to Hasbro? Saban should have sold to Toei. Now the show will probably move away from adapting Japanese Sentai verbatium. And the franchise will slowly die. Especially if they try and ditch Toei.
