Power Rangers Beast Morphers/Hasbro Toy Lisence

[Archanubis]

Linkara can probably give more details on this, but apparently there's some big news coming down the pike for the Power Rangers franchise.

First off, Saban Brands has apparently ended its 25 year relation with Bandai and has awarded its toy license to Hasbro, allowing Hasbro to develop and distribute Power Rangers toys for the North American and international markets (excluding, apparently, Japan and Asia, which sounds like a similar deal Hasbro has with Takara-Tomy regarding Transformers).

Second, Saban announced they're going to adapt Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters - the series they skipped to adapt Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger into Dino Charge - into Power Rangers Beast Morphers, to air in 2019. So, essentially, Saban skips Go-Busters, Ressha Sentai ToQger, and delays adapting Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger, to adapt a now five year old Sentai series. You have to wonder what goes on in the conference rooms when Saban and Toei meet.

Lots of booze-drinking, if my experience is anything to go by.
