Hasbro Acquires the Power Rangers Brand for $522 Million

Do you collect other toys besides Transformers? Maybe you've got a Masters of the Universe collection you'd like to show off, or maybe you like Thundercats, Voltron, G.I.Joe, Power Rangers, Star Wars, Wrestling, or any of the various comic book toy lines. Please keep the discussions here to non-Transformers toy lines.

Hasbro Acquires the Power Rangers Brand for $522 Million

Postby william-james88 » Tue May 01, 2018 8:19 pm

Motto: "'till All Are One"
As of today, Transformers is no longer Hasbro's only brand of giant robots. Saban Properties has sold the Power Rangers brand to Hasbro for $522 million. While Hasbro had previously revealed to now have the licensing to make Power Rangers toys, this means that they now own the brand itself and can license it as they wish (as they do with Transformers). This goes perfectly in line with Brain Goldner's mission of turning Hasbro into an entertainment brand, owning intellectual properties, rather than simply a toy manufacturer (which the Last Jedi toyline recently showed means you cover more risks and potential losses). Other less known properties were also included in this deal like My Pet Monster, Popples, Julius Jr., Luna Petunia, Treehouse Detectives and others.

And yes, this does mean that Hasbro can now incorporate Power Rangers into their shared universe (in comics, tv, or movies) if they wish it. Who wouldn't want a Megazord/Optimus Prime team up? It will be interesting to see if assets from the Transformers brand will cross over to Power Rangers, in terms of toys. We do know that the Takara and Hasbro's Transformers designers also work on the Beyblade property, for instance, so we could be seeing some shared technology bleed into eventual Power Rangers toys.

What is truly fascinating is that this renews an association between Hasbro and Bandai. In the (now distant) past, Power Rangers toys released outside of Japan were simply the Japanese toys with perhaps differences in deco and of course the packaging. That has changed since, with the toys outside Japan being a different take on the same mecha designs found in the show (both Power Rangers and the Japanese Super Sentai shows use the same giant robot fight scenes). If you thought there were big differences between Hasbro and Takara releases, you are not prepared for how different the Japanese Super Sentai toys were from the and American Power Rangers toys.

It is still unknown just how much Hasbro will collaborate with Bandai regarding the toys, especially with the first line from Hasbro is confirmed to be a pre-existing line from Bandai Japan. They will be tackling Beast Morphers!, which will be based on the 2012 Super Sentai’s Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters line. Here is an example of the costume and mecha designs from this line which Hasbro will in turn be releasing in their own way.

Here is the press release from Hasbro themselves.

“Power Rangers is an iconic brand built on a heritage of great storytelling and merchandising with tremendous upside potential when fully executed across Hasbro’s Brand Blueprint,” said Brian Goldner, Hasbro’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Shortly after entering into our licensing arrangement, it became clear that now was the time to begin investing in unlocking Power Rangers’ full potential. We see significant opportunity for Power Rangers across our entire Brand Blueprint, including toys and games, consumer products, digital gaming and entertainment, as well as geographically throughout our global retail footprint. We couldn’t be more pleased that Haim Saban will continue in a consulting role to further guide our development of this valuable property for the next generation of Power Rangers fans.”

“25 years after launching Power Rangers, I believe the future for this brand has never been greater,” said Haim Saban, founder of Saban Brands and creator of Power Rangers. “Hasbro’s leadership in innovation, storytelling and brand stewardship make it the perfect company to further develop the global reach and appeal of the Power Rangers property. I look forward to working with Brian and the team in the years to come.”

Created by Haim Saban and launched in 1993, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers quickly became a pop culture phenomenon. Today, Power Rangers is one of the longest running kids’ live-action series in television history with nearly 900 episodes produced to date. The TV series, currently in its 25th season with Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, and feature films, including 2017’s movie with Lionsgate, follows the adventures of a group of ordinary teens who morph into superheroes and save the world from evil. Saban’s Power Rangers currently airs in 150 markets around the world and is translated into numerous languages.

The first set of products from Hasbro will be available in spring 2019.

Transaction Details
Hasbro has previously paid Saban Brands$22.25 million pursuant to the Power Rangers master toy license agreement, announced by the parties in February of 2018, that was scheduled to begin in 2019. Those amounts are being credited against the purchase price. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Hasbro will pay an additional $229.75 million in cash and will issue $270 million worth of Hasbro common stock for the Power Rangers brand and several other entertainment brands. The agreement includes all related intellectual property, category rights and content libraries owned by Saban Properties and its affiliates. The transaction is subject to a number of customary closing conditions, including obtaining required regulatory approvals, and is expected to close during the second quarter of 2018.

The transaction, including intangible amortization expense, is not expected to have a material impact on Hasbro’s 2018 results of operations.

IDW and Boom can make crossovers, Movie TF and PR verses can make crossovers, Hasbro can tackle animated PR shows (hopefully with new concepts rather than adapting Sentai seasons in animation) to go with TF shows; pretty much everyone gets a crossover! Gonna be cool to see how everything turns out! :POPCORN:

But Beast Morphers need to be improvements from the Neo Saban era. Take notes from the post-Zordon era and the Disney era on how to handle character development as well as not using the MMPR theme for new seasons.

ehhhhhh I'm not sure if this is good or not. I'm by far no major fan of Power Rangers (follow it here and there) but I would understand if PR fans don't like this.

I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens, but one thing I don't want is another **** crossover. I've yet to enjoy any story that involves Transformers with another franchise.

(Unrelated I know) And keep IDW away from the comics, Boom! is doing a fantastic job.

Yeah that’s not how that works. Boom has a licensing contract just like IDW does. Just becuase Hasbro buys the powers rangers IP for toys doesn’t instantly mean IDW gets to make comics.

If they are wanted to maybe but that just depends if they want to.

I am a PR fan and this sounds amazing. Lately, the toys have been vey similar to the RID Combiner Force combiners, and that is the main line. Hasbro has proven they can make far better combiner toys so I very much look forward to this.

I'm excited t hear how Hasbro would give their own spin on the toyline.My first guess is that we wont see as much super-bulky raangers toys.
Hopefully this also leads more funding to a movie sequel.

To my fellow critical fan, technically speaking, sentai/power rangers are a rip off (inspired from) of Gatchaman aka Battle of the Planets.5 man team with a token huntress/kid/strongman/fatguy though recently (mid 80s) had two instead on one females.

Their storylines were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the Saban edited versions. Heck, sometime too serious/mature for a show intended to sell toys.

On the mecha side Super Sentai wouldn't introduce combining robots until 1981 themselves with Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan. ;) Neither were the first to introduce the concept, there are plenty of older examples in Japan including the stuff Takara was cranking out under Diaclone in 1980 or the series World Events intended to make into Voltron, but got sent the wrong "the one with the lion" show instead of GoLion, Future Robo Daltanious from 1979.

Saban Brands owned the Power Rangers, Hasbro acquired it from them. Bandai simply had the license to make the toys, but they'd already lost that to Hasbro in February.

As a long term power ranger/sentai fan....this is good news. The series needs new hands. Between skipping series, combining series and just trying to make a single series last 2 years...I'm hoping Hasbro rights the ship. Saban lost all respect when they couldn't even do Gokaiger right and took a great series that celebrated everything about the series and completely ruined it.

Bonus points if they can actually get the Japanese toys sold here again.

I second the motion that the comics stay with Boom for now. This is surprising as I would have thought there was higher things on hasbro's to buy list. Will be interesting to see where things go from here thought I'm not expecting any crossovers as the only things in common are giant robots that combine

Wouldnt restocking be a problem more with the shop? Plus Canada never had that problem and here in the UK it's definitely the shops that don't sort out their stock.

I put this solely on the shops themselves. Seeing shelves in Canada and going HOLEY MOLEY because whether it was Toys R Us in the U.S., Walmart, Target etc none were as stocked as they were for Transformers. Even with Bandai the same can be said about Transformers, Toys R Us always had them, including Legacy (which I'm more sad about now because they just now started to release Zeo [at least the morpher and gold ranger staff]). You go to Walmart or Target you see more Star Wars and DC/Marvel (more Star Wars). The stores order the toys, Hasbro just distributes where the toys are being ordered. Countless times I have gone to my local Walmart and see the same empty pegs and the only Movie Nitro figure had it's head missing (same with the Vulture for a Spider-man toy). This isn't a Hasbro issue, this is a shop issue when ordering stock for their shelves.

Edited as I remembered something as well: Boom is doing great! Especially with their current run with Shattered Grid!

And I would guesstimate PR made way more money than Voltron at this point, so....

Um....why? Continuing the PR movie universe would not go well. The quality control of Saban/Bandai toys was as good or better than Hasbro. This seems like a really bad move. More clutter for shelves at Walmart, Target, and Meijer. :BANG_HEAD:
