Are the rumors true?
 

Did your Power Rangers really get bought by Hasbro? This would indeed be a dark day if it is true.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

No Hasbro is their new toy partner starting in 2019. The press release mentioned that their is some sort of option for Hasbro to buy Power Rangers outright after so many years. But as of right now Saban Brands still owns the series.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

Well thats a relief. I thought Hasbro did something stupid and bought the series. I don't like them partnering with them. I don't know why they are wasting their time. Doesn't that Bamboo Company make the Corny Rangers toys? I can't remember their name so I probably got it wrong.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

not quite. Saban still owns the franchise but this past week it was revealed that they're not renewing their partnership with Bandai of America for the merchandise rights and the merchandise rights is what Hasbro bought.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

I can't see why they did that since they are wasting their time with Power Rangers. I don'tn't even understand why that show is still on.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

Some of us who still watch the series wonder that sometimes. But it still sells toys. So its actually pretty valuable to Power Rangers.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

You don't sound like a PR fan? Are you a hasbro fanboy or something?

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

You could say that. I am a huge transformers fan. I heard they bought Power Rangers, so I did a search for a PR board to confirm. Luckily it wasn't as bad as I thought.

I don't know how you guys can stand it. Power Rwngers is just wo corney and clearly isn't for adults like transformers. I really don't want Hasbro to lower themselves to working with them. But at least they didn't buy it.

The brand being valuable to Hasbro? Sorry but that makes me laugh. Those toys can't still sell that well. Its not like adults collect them.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

Power Rangers has always been a strong toy brand. Its right up there with Transformers .

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

Power Rangers is an evergreen brand. Transformers has been around longer ane has more mainstream appeal in a lot of way. But Power Rangers is a powerful brand in its own right.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

I am surprised Bandai America didn't fight harder for it.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

Its Bandai. Or Bandai America to be exact.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

Why would the Power Rangers be any less valuable than Transformers. And why would Hasbro not want to buy the series outright someday?

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

Transformers is an adult brand. Power Rangers doesn't even come c!ose. Sprry your statement makes me laugh. :rolling:

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

You post a lot on a Power Rangers board for someone that thinks the show is so beneath him?

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

Transformers is targeted to the same demo as Power Rangers. You're should just got a headstart.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

Well I think every season of PR has been good. Even if it is a kids show. Transformers is pretty good too. But its a kids show too.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

We have been trying to tell these guys that American Sentai is an inferior product for a long time. They just don't listen. Its not on the level of transflrmers and Japanese Sentai.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

Hasbro has the toy rights, starting in April 2019. If they manage to get the series out right, they would move it to the Hub Network. :cool:

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

can't move it to a network that no longer exists

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

Otherwise Power Rangers could move to the Action Channel.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

Action Channel? never heard of it *googles* that would be even more of a death bed option than Discovery Family since very few areas even have that channel

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

I didn't even know it was still around I only brought it up because I remembered watching Hercules, Xena, and this one movie I can't remember the name of about a guy who played a Flash Gordon like superhero on tv who got abducted to an alien planet to save from real villains.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

The Hub Network became Discovery Family right? I

PR is probably better off remaining on Nick. Since I think its a more powerful station.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

I don't see a better network to run from a business stand point.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

yup looks like it still is since it still operates a website

yes that it did and it is generally on a higher tier like Nicktoons, TeenNick and Disney XD are.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

I feel so bad Hasbro forced this guy to lower himself to joining the board and talking us Power Ranger Fans.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

It is obviously silly to watch one show targeted towards children and act like people who watch another kids show are weird.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

I think its silly to watch any kids show.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

and I think you're silly not to mention don't you have a life? why are you spending time wasting your time on a message board of something you hate attacking us and the show we enjoy?
Now that's another thing that I find silly that someone would be wasting their life away just to attack a show. Where are your priorities man? Get a hobby or a job.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

What do you mean? Its perfectly normal to sign up at a message board for something you hate and attack people who like it.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

only for people who need to be locked up for the rest of their lives in a psych ward

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

Baby Ranger and Robots In Disguise would make great Sentai Snobs.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

It is silly to watch American Sentai.

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

and it's silly to insist on Power Rangers being Sentai when you people already have Sentai what aren't you people getting about that? Or are you just too slow and lazy to comprehend that with your brain?

Re: Are the rumors true?
 

There trolls, probably some of them are the same people.
