- Hasbro doesn't seem to want to make toys anymore. They've just announced that they are licensing Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to Playmates, the maker of TMNT toys. Could other Hasbro licenses and even D&D also get outsourced?

![This Dino Megazord is HOW MUCH?! [Flame Toys Power Rangers Review]](/img/n.gif)
Ok, this is not rocket science. When a company like Hasbro tells DnD customers you're not welcome and we hate you, don't buy our stuff. Which DnD did to its primary customer, you can bet a total collapse of profit is going to hit. Then Hasbro did the same thing. They wanted this fictitious group of DEI customers who don't support anything or anyone, and it totally cost them everything. Now, they are scrambling to try and make some kind of profit. So, of course, they will outsource products if they are better and cost less than what they are making. Business is not hard, but Hasbro has people who are blinded by politics and do not understand how to make a company successful.
This happens every time. Now it's happening to GW
DEI people already live in a fantasy land, they don't need another one.
The big companies pay someone a massive salary to be a glorified accountant. That person will say to take the dei money every time because a data sheet says it's a no brainer. Meanwhile anyone could point to all these youtube vids showing what will happen if they do, but because it's not on cable news it doesn't count. Don't feel any sympathy for them.
Paizo is too committed to their own Pathfinder line.
@@tonyb7615 See, I watch these channels, but I also get information they don't. I get emails every day from WBD as one of their investors. I am the guy who screams about DC comics and screams about the DEI garbage movies. I do it every quarter. Right now, when I look at Hasbro, The number 1 target I have is DnD. I get my hands on DnD, and I can turn it around in 90 days to make it profitable quickly. But I know what to do and how to do it. I have 30 years of business Management experience; I am also a long-time player, so I know a lot of players. I know what to put in play, and I know also what to say to get the company turned around. I hate seeing people lose their jobs due to upper management stupidity.
So let’s see Hasbro has spent decades buying out there rivals like Kenner, Tonka, WoTC and others , and now decide they don’t want to be a toy company??? Or was it rather they hired a leadership team whose background is in computer gaming who were unaware that Hasbro was a toy company, and didn’t know how to run a toy company
Milton Bradley and Parker Brothers are two of the most iconic board companies ever made for such classics like “Monopoly”, “Game Of Life”, “Connect Four” and many more. Selchow & Righter also had “Scrabble” and “Trivial Pursuit” all belongs to Hasbro.
In addition to these board games, there were game shows based off of board games. “Scrabble” was the game show hosted by Chuck Woolery ran from 1984 until 1990 and then revived in 1993 for just one year. “Scrabble” was the game show that I remember as a kid.
@@Musicradio77Network but Hasbro only owns Scrabble in two countries, Mattel is the owner of Scrabble in the world
The leaders are like kids who have no concept that things existed before their time.
Hasbro got out of the video game industry 20+ years ago to focus on their core brands of toys. They learned from the glut of Phantom Menace toys and were less reliant on licenced properties.
Then, they got new leadership and all those lessons are forgotten.
This happens a lot a.d is not necessarily a bad thing. The man who made Sega big 30 years ago came from Mattel.
I guess sending the "MESSAGE" is more profitably important to them than making for toys for the kids and fans
In their eyes, yes, unfortunately. They will not stop
Even after they go broke to the point of literally living in the streets, they will swear and re-swear that they are the "good guys" and would gladly do everything again.
I feel bad for the lower level folks who might still want to create good stuff but are forced to comply to the corporate suits in charge.
The funny thing is that they are not making much profit.
It’s funny how Bandai still makes Sentai toys yet they choose to partner with the TMNT company instead.
What do you expect? The power Rangers actually met the ninja turtle during the original era.
Last time Bandai America made Power Ranger toys, they didn't do that great a job at it.
What makes you think anyone running Hasbro even knows what you're talking about?
EHEM, These ARE NOT Sentai toys. Please understand that there is a difference between Bandai Japan and Bandai America. Have you actually taken a look at these crappy toys that they've been making for Power Rangers? Or Transformers? OR ANYTHING in their franchises for the last DECADE? Like seriously have you seen them!?! My young cousins wont even TOUCH them (Power Rangers), meanwhile, I brought over the Sentai versions and they were all over them.
Their "best" Power Rangers since Samurai was probably "Dino Charge", and they were all pretty much downhill from there. They're made from cheap materials, they are crappy molds, they destroyed the gimmicks (including their own). The Morphers barely function as RPG devices and even then, you have to turn off the sound effects because they keeps spouting out pointless catchphrases instead of focusing on the actual function of what they are DESIGNED to be.
I'm sorry, but even if I adjusted for Inflation, these crappy toys weren't worth the plastic that they were molded with. Frankly, I'm shocked that all of these toy reviewers wont tell it like how it ACTUALLY is.
@Snowmon89 He doesn't know that. He didn't think before posting
I remember something like this in a movie.
A toy company that doesn’t want to make toys?! Abandon ship!!
Hopefully they don't start putting military cpu's in them
I recall a weird one with Robin Williams, where he was an heir to a toy factory and his militaristic uncle tried to not only take over the factory but turn video games into drones for kidsto join warfare.
@zacharyscovel1017 oh yeah that was a good one
Waiting for the Hasbro CEO to create a toy in a cave from a box of scraps, then use it to escape a terrorist hideout before deciding to save the toy world with it.
Theres also a tom hanks movie, where he wished he grow up, and found a job making toys and fights with the toy company execs
The companies Hasbro outsource to may do a better job in making these toys than them. A shame they're becoming the Walt Disney of toy companies.
They also outsourced the 4 inch scale of both GI.Joe and Transformers to McFarlane Toys.
Hasbro suffered big time when the MCU focused on All-New, All-Different Characters (Carol Danvers, Kamala Khan, etc.), and lets not forget the disaster of biblical proportions that was Star Wars' Disney trilogy merch (Baby Yoda is trying his best, but he can't do all the work by himself).
It is easy to assume they *still* haven't recovered from such a strong financial double whammy.
Never forget the infamous landfill of Tico Rose from Star Wars The Last Jedi.
Or the disappointment of a film of The Eternals.
@@derekm.melendez8100:
I don't think i could. I still see discounted Eternals merch on stores to this very day.
@@derekm.melendez8100luckily Worldclassbullshitters owns 50% of the Rose Ticos ever made because people keep sending them lol
@@jimmyv3170: The remaining 50% owned by her N°1 fan, Ethan Van Sciver.
Since Hasbro is becoming the new Disney, they might as well outsourced all the other toys and hopefully they'll do so much better than Hasbro has ever done since they won't last much longer for the path their going.
Exactly
@deegeekulberda-lo4dh disney's much worser then hasbro will ever be.
Such absolute fucking horseshit.
The Lightning Collection was finally a permanent home for Power Rangers and they just botched it.
Nobody gives this property the attention it deserves outside of Japan. I really don't think it's that hard of a brand to manage and profit from.
Yup
Hasbro are idiots of the first order. When one says the name Hasbro, one thinks toys... I guess making money is no longer job one at HasBeen... ummm I meant Bro.
No you were right the first time.
You had it right the first time. They're HasBeen
All profit with no overhead... 100% profit margin is a pretty good way to make money. If I'm incorrect, please, elaborate how.
@tankeater the problem is that Hasbro didn't just decide hey we got these properties let someone else pay us to use them that's smart. The problem is they waited till they destroyed there band to it and paid a lot of money for toy rights to thing's they don't own well also buying new properties
@@tankeaterTwo words my guy Clayton Christensen. Man wrote several books on why insourcing (to other suppliers) and outsourcing(to other companies) gets you disrupted.
Customer: You don't make toys anymore?
Hasbro: No.
Customer: well what do you make?
Hasbro: Bad decisions.
Customer: And you expect me to pay for that?
Hasbro: Yes, that will be $75.
Hasbro licensing all of it's Intellectual properties would not keep them going as a company for too long, Once a toy company stops manufacturing toys what does it even do. They need to just start selling everything off now and save the customers and shareholders endless frustration.
You know what'd be cool? Lego letting another company make Bionicle. Not NEW, old sets from the original 10 year run. And not ONLY the old sets as they were, but also recolors of every unique Bionicle Original element in as many colors as possible.
Stop... the pain... the loss... it's just too much.
I was buying the PR toys and they were cancelled and sold to Hasbro. Then I collected those and now they cancel them and sell/outsource to Playmates. I'm done chasing PR and nobody ever finishing the teams
I'm still waiting on the figuarts jetman team
There are even fans during the Disney Era that grew up with those, but nope... Has-been being stupid as usual
I am sorry to hear that.
Try to find Super Sentai versions, bro. The quality is better (the price might be salty, though).
@@Another_Hibiki For full teams get the 4 inch figures. For single reds/leaders get figurarts.
Hasbro executives clearly don't want to be running a Toy company.
It's sad
To think this company once put in stores the 7' long Flagg aircraft carrier and at the same time the 3' wide Cobra Terror Drome.
They would have an entire isle of vehicles and figures.
It was glorious.
At least they're letting someone else take a crack at it instead of letting the IP sit dormant for more than a year.
Why did they even buy Power Rangers. What a bunch of clowns.
It was popular and made lots of money. Same reason Disney bought star wars. They have no idea what to do with all the ip they bought and can't understand why profits aren't up just because the thing they release has a popular name on it.
@@MarkERoth Name alone means nothing, You still got to give your fans what they want.
@@BlueBDexactly and they've forgotten that the customer is King
@BlueBD that's the hard to swallow pill companies like hasbro and Disney still haven't taken. They just bought what was popular and didn't realize what made them popular. Hasbro is sitting on so much slumbering ip they could have made several fortunes during the recent nostalgia craze but chose to ignore it.
@@MarkERoth Disney bought Power Rangers too and dumped it for the same reason. They flogged it for all they could get out of it and passed it back onto Saban.
It’s interesting how you two are right about a lot of things. I encountered someone who said you two were liars and I asked them specifically what you two lied about only to provide proof with your videos. Individual shut up after that point. It’s one thing to disagree but to say you’re lying; they better have proof of this stuff.
Kevin Smith STILL owes them an apology
@@ChrisP58 what did that sellout loser do?
You see that all the time with far left cultists. They always are quick to claim some is this and that. The second you ask for receipts they ether shutup or try to move the goal post.
That is hilarious 😂
Hasbro does not need to exist, the middle man always get cut down because it's an hindrance.
I have seen Playmates toys at Burlington which is a different doscount store. The Mutant Mayhem toys go for 6.99 and last winter they had the Cobra Kai vs TMNT Johnny vs Donatello go for 19.99.
Would be funny of Bandai called Hasbro and said: OK, you wanna play it that way, fine! We'll release Super Sentai toys in the West!!!
That'll be nuts lol and I'll buy.
Yes please, I'd love an updated Galaxy Mega and Delta Mega that combine and are fully articulated.
I wish Hasbro would lose ALL the rights to Power Rangers. Then after that, Playmates would do a PR remake series that starts off with a non-themed PR team (something like Goranger but original).
I never thought about it but even their most successful line being transformers is still technically done not in house since the majority of the designers are from takara based out of Japan so it's mutually beneficial for the designs to be made by the Japanese designers
Them wanting to go into digital products (video games) isnt going to the magical unicorn they think it is. Since most game publishers want to move away from making licensed games due to the risks, limited creative freedom, but mainly due the headaches around game preservation and the uncertainty of making sequels & prequels. Which is why most video game publishers want to focus on their own catalogues, who filled to the brim with beloved ip's that have been laying dormant for decades. I think Hasbro will come home to a cold shower, if they think the gaming industry is eager to take on licensed projects. The platform holders Xbox & SIE already spoke about this at the end of the previous console gen, and more recently Activison, Ubisoft and EA revealed they are going to focus more on their own ip catalogues as well in the years to come.
Transformers when I was a kid in the 80's started doing Transformers like pretenders and I just remembered wanting more like what G1 had been. But we never got it. We later got Beast Wars which I just wasn't into.
Meanwhile Super Sentai is going strong after two awesome seasons in a row, DonBrotherd and King Ohger. I wish you americans had the cooler era Power Rangers again, my favorite american version is Power Rangers in Space.
It's a no brainer that an IP's real profit comes from the toys and the toys will only sell if it's an IP kids and fans love. It's also a no brainer that both these industries in the US are in the shitter because they can't do the bare minimum of preserving IP's integrity or creating new ones customer would want.
I see nothing wrong with this
Go Go power rangers.
The sarcasm is strong with this one. 😙
7:14 Regarding the word "reimagination", it sounds like they're trying to pump DEI into the TV shows or comics. That would be bad for the brand.
They are, seeing how Disney had that whole wretched, racist, sexist, divisive/segregation promoting "ReImagine Tomorrow" program thingy.
Bandai still makes figures for kids.
Dragon Stars, Anime Heroes, Ultimate Legends come to mind.
Not surprised in the least…
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!? They just started the PR Lightning collection on LIGHTSPEED RESCUE and RPM, my favorite Ranger Seasons, and now you're saying I am never gonna be able to complete the set ?!?!?
Waiting they complete the whole set before thinking about buying one was the best decision I ever made. But the later toys was so awful I decided to not but any set
This is is going to be a domino effect. After this Disney is going to outsource the Marvel comics, DC is going to outsource their animated works and so on. Companies today don't know what the Hell to do.
But they do know that they don't want to do anything involving a critical audience. So they're backing out while they can.
The only thing I really ever bought a lot of from hasbro was the Zoids line, licensed from Takara Tomy in the early 2000's, with their current quality of stuff this all is generally a good step, maybe someone who actually makes quality stuff can start releasing stuff.
This is why you never take your company public. Hasbro doesn't have a say in what they do anymore.
This pi$$es me off. Power Rangers was one of their very few profitable brands. I hope they gave Playmates their lightning collection bucks and molds for their unreleased figures. I'm not starting over again.
I had two April O'Neil action figures as a kid - one was her traditional yellow jumpsuit outfit and the other was a cool yellow jumpsuit with orange on the collar, shoulders, pant sides, boots and belt.
I'd rather the Power Rangers go back to Bandai. Those were the best when they had the rights to making them. Power Rangers Toys have sucked since Hasbro took them over.
I want more soul of chogokin megazords, especially the thunder and ninjazords... And lightspeed rescue zords
@@EternalEmperorofZakuul dude yes. I would buy more of those!
Its yes and no. I personally thought Bandai of America sucked in the later years. Now If your referring to Bandai japan, thats a totally different story
@@EternalEmperorofZakuul Agreed. The only Megazord that was anywhere close to as good as the Soul of Chogokin Daizyujin, is the Flametoys Dino Megazord.
Soul of Chogokin In Space Zords would be pretty crazy too
Bandai America has sucked for a decade or two.
Now if they could just import Bandai Japan, I'd be on board.
Lightning Collection was actually doing well for years. Modern Hasbro ruined it like they've ruined everything else they've been doing the last 4 years.
On the plus side, apparently Playmates' TMNT toys are doing well with kids, so maybe they can do better with Power Rangers. I've heard collectors complaining that the Lightning Collection is probably going to end now, but let's be honest...LC was trash, if I had a nickel for every picture I saw on Facebook of a broken LC figure I could afford something on Hasbro Pulse.
I've been collecting the Lightning Collection since 2019 it wasn't all that bad. SPD red was to dark in the color, and you had to be careful talking the helmets and head off and on. If you scraped the residue paint off inside the head/helmet it connects and disconnects smoothly. Only fig I had break was Trini in the neck area before I discovered scraping the paint in the head/helmet.
Wish it would go back to Bandai. Power Rangers is starting to become stale, and I'm thinking of moving to Sentai. 30 years of awesome seasons and they keep doing MMPR cause it was first. MMPR is like on the #10 spot in my top 10. Do more for In Space, Time Force, Lost Galaxy or Lightspeed THEN I'll be interested.
"everyone has that phone"
Oh my god, yes! I also had that one! Well, it was originally my elder brother's...and as the baby brother, most of my toys weren't originally mine, just inherited from my older siblings, so yeah, I had to play with a bunch of broken or incomplete toys :(
Takara makes better toys anyway
They should get them to make the Megazord toys.
They did the last few years the toys have gone to being identical at least with Transformers except for masterpiece that is almost exclusively Takara Tomy.
Motu was already on the way out when turtles took over. I don't think she-ra caused the problem. I think the problem was the sword and sorcery craze was just over. I believe thats the real reason why 200X failed to find an audience.
The 80s were rather diverse when it came to the toy aisle. The 90s were dominated by tmnt and its clones.
It's kind of an easy low risk thing to do. You do nothing but license out the IP. You get paid whether they are successful or fail. And none of your money is at risk. Your only concern is that people want to license out your stuff. So you do have to keep it in the public's mind.
Yeah it's only good so long as the IP is still strong. Nobody would bother to pay the license if they don't think they can get anything out of it.
15:03 They still make Lincoln Logs...
I really miss my set of logs...
Well after their severed rear got handed to them on a silver platter after the Disney new trilogy toys, i cant blame em
Never forget the infamous landfill of Tico Rose from Star Wars The Last Jedi.
It seems that the people at the top of hasbro view themselves less like business owners and more like share holders. The OGL drama makes so much sense now. They only want to hold the rights and license out all the work. If they can pull D&D and MTG from wizards, they'll probably license it back to them after they sell off the company.
Hopefully they'll outsource Magic and DnD too.
And mlp.
Perhaps they can outsource it to me.
And then, that’s when madness will ensue.
Also it would be funny.
Someone last week was suggesting a hasbro crossover between power rangers and any of their other IPs like transformers. I responded to them with, "You'll end up getting mighty magic power ponies". lol
Thing is both #Transformers and #GIJoe have already been successfully crossed over, repeatedly, and it’s not too far a thematic stretch to add #PowerRangers into the mix.
@@AnonAdderlan Indeed. I'd like to see it done. Megazord standing next to Optimus Prime.
Wishe they gave it back to bandai.
Wish i got the thunder, ninja, and lightspeed rescue megazords under soul of chogokin brand
I'd be stoked if Bandai started making power rangers toys, cuz they make kamen rider toys and they're gnarly
...So go back to the old ways
@@Exlayer-pk8hy Things kinda got better. Especially with the sales thanks to Donbrothers, Geats, and King Ohger.
Shame they don't want to make battle network PET anymore...I would like to get one.
Just hope for old series I grew up with
Playmates new set of star trek toys last year were not that great and hasbro is still killing it with gi joe classified
Transformers have been real hit or miss also these last few years.
Hasbro said, "Bye, bye, Power Rangers!!"
Not yet.
In the case of Power Rangers Hasbro hasn't even made the TV show on Cable TV I believe since 2018 EITHER.
Power Rangers is exclusive to Netflix.
It's like going to Ace Hardware to pick up lingerie and beauty products from Gwyneth Paltrow.
Eons ago they spun off their pencil business as Empire, and now their toy business? What will they make now?
(I was a stockholder 20 years ago and read their annual reports.)
I tried to get into making pencils but I couldn't see the point.
@@chaos.corner Sharp person!
The original wave of 8 inch MMPR figures and the relatively clunky (and sometimes miscolored) Zords will always have a place in my heart. I was there on 8/28/93 and was all in on this stuff as a kid. I remember scouting toy stores in my area and walking to them (sometimes miles) to see if they had one I needed. It was always a crap shoot.
Decades later I see Hasbro doing this artificial rarity thing where they release random figures for a li item time and they wind up on EBay or other sites for insanely high prices and it breaks my heart. Hasbro sucks and I'm glad this is happening. Serves em right!
The message doesnt sell toys. What a surprise.
I was thinking if hasbro return Power Rangers toy lines to bandai Namco, but playmates sound sense
Attempting to become Disney without a Walt Disney, basically.
Aside from the “Power Rangers”, “GI Joe”, “Transformers” and “My Little Pony” aren’t going anywhere, just the “Power Rangers” to Playmates. Same as with TMNT. Basic Fun did put out reissues of LPS and MLP toys, but MLP G4 (“Friendship Is Magic”) toys are reissuing under Basic Fun.
Well, that puts a wrench into the current missing rangers for certain teams that aren't complete
🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ Hasbro should return the licenses to owners and THEY should decide which company do the toys.
just like Entertainment One, Hasbro bought it and dismantled it to keep Peppa Pig to the anger of the british
Ollie's did have a bunch of the Rise of the TMNT toys a while back. Lots of Aprils and Origami Ninjas warming the pegs
Don't forget Mattel's bringing back street sharks as well hell yeah boy
Hasbro has talked about wanting to be in the movie and tv business. With their toy quality down the toilet. Insane prices now many are done collecting from them anyway.
This is what you get when you hire runoff from Microsoft to run your company.
hmmm, didn't Bob Iger hire a bunch of ex's also from Microsoft??? I'm sensing a trend here. Microsoft you are a blight on the public at large.
@@ditzydoo4378 A major blight.
runoff is a very kind word for it. i'm thinking: the result of eating Olestra potato chips
@@ssl3546 I was considering using the more archaic term "caitiff."
This was because they wasted time and money on DEI policies and they ran their own company into the ground. A smart exec could have pivot ed better
Does this mean no more Transformers or GI Joe?
I want to see both go to Playmates or a toy company that cares but the money those two IPs make might mean Hasbro will keep a tight hold on both of them.
@@TheDarkly81 Nah the GI Joe Classified line is already good as it is and it’s one of the few good things to come out of Hasbro lately, I can’t imagine playmates doing a good job as even though they makes good kids toys (better than Hasbro) they suck at making toys aim towards collectors especially with their Star Trek figures.
I don’t think so. “Transformers” and “GI Joe” will stay at Hasbro, so does “My Little Pony”, and they’re not leaving Hasbro anytime soon.
All of them look like trash compared to the Bandai stuff.
This is one of the most idiotic decisions they could ever make. Do they not like money?
Have you not seen World Class Bullshitters wandering the toy aisle?
Clearly not 🤷🏻♂️
This is a 100% profit margin decision... They tell a company to make something and get their percentage. No employees, no rent for a warehouse, no insurance. Simply a check. 😂🤦♂️👍
Clownfish was right, again!
I still haven't forgiven Hasbro for the legal mess that they caused that prevented subsequent Macross series from being legally released in the US..
That's not Hasbro that's Harmony Gold.
@@FireFury190 Harmony Gold always want to release the actual Macross series, but they would be required to release the related toy mechanize too. And that where the trouble with Hasbro started.
Hasbro decided licensed the Valkyrie variable fighter toy presumably because of Robotech popularity, but they released under G.I. Joe & Transformer cross-over brand instead.
That because Hasbro did not have license to use Macross or Robotech brand.
Earlier release of the toy even have the U.N..Spacy logo.
Should Harmony Gold ignore it, that can be used by Hasbro to sue Harmony Gold for infringing their GI Joe/Transformer brand.
Harmony Gold did try to talk to Hasbro about it But we knew how it end and we have lengthy lawsuit that follows.
There is no way Macross can be legally released under such circumstances.
I'm so happy about that breaking "Power Rangers" toyline news story. Yet, Hasbro is keeping the entire "Power Rangers" franchise. Keep up the good work and may the power protect you all...and Playmates Toys.
The motto in business is "evolve or die".
And it took Hasbro way too long and they lost way too much money to figure out that they should concentrate on the collector's market and leave the children's market (which is much, much smaller than it once was) to someone who cares and can do it right.
I'm glad they finally figured it out but I'm afraid it's probably too little too late at this point.
I don't think it's only going to be with playmates toys, because i remember Hasbro and McFarlane toys signing a deal for figures a few months ago
Can Hasbro bring back Maxie and do a live action movie of her but not with the people who ruin the Jem movie
NOO
WHAT ABOUT THEIR NUMBER 1 TOY BRAND LITTLEST PET SHOP!?
I would be sad if hasbro stopped making toys I have many lps and ponies
Number 1? *laughing hard* Transformers tops Littlest Pet Shop, so does G.I. Joe
Remind me of Harmony Gold. I think they make more lawsuits protecting their rights to Robotech then they make actual product. 😆
I want Toei to Retire Sentai, & Replace it with Metal Heroes as an FU to Hasbro.
Power Rangers is a dead franchise that has relied heavily on nostalgia pandering to keep itself afloat for years now. The reality is the modern day entertainment industry has no idea what made the initial show so successful and have no idea how to revive the dying franchise to it's former glory. JDF's passing signalled the end of Mighty Morphin and let's be honest the other seasons don't get nearly as much love which is why they keep seeking to remake the original show.
They also don't push the other seasons enough through ads or anything. PR is losing me while I'm peeking more into Swntai. You ask any person if thry liked Power Rangers, they'll say they liked Mighty Morphin and weren't crazy about anything thay came after. They'll also say (while thinking about MMPR) that rangers was "incredibly lame". So like you say that, but you refuse to watch better seasons that came after? Weirdest franchise man, probably time.for it to end and them to bring Sentai over or something.
Its franchise fatigue would likely flop the Legend of the White Dragon movie, and it ain't premiering overseas.
@@MiXVoy I’m glad you brought up legend of the white dragon because I have been noticing this as of late ever since that movie was announced have you noticed that none of the other Ranger actors themselves that are in that movie have not promoted it all?
That’s the same thing that I’ve been saying myself there’s a reason why this franchise isn’t up there with the bigger franchises like Marvel DC and Star Wars because look at how the way they have been marketing power rangers for the longest time now they are still using the same marketing practices that they have been using since the 90s for Power Rangers not realizing that what they have been doing for 31 years is not working anymore.
@@CollectingmythoughtsOnly 3: Jason Faunt (Time Force), Cerina Vincent and Ciara Hannah (Megaforce). The rest were full of D-Listers
All profit with no overhead... Sounds like a safe decision if that company is losing money. Less profit margin, but no chance to go under. Thats whats referred to as swallowing your pride and making a good business decision.
Dang, why didn't they give it back to Bandai? They did really great with it. Their Legacy line was really good.
You guys are very smart and have predicted a lot of companies moves. There Toys are selling for cheap so I figured they were deciding to outsource. This sounds like what Embracer has done but splitting up these between 3 companies. Wow Hasbro has brought a lot of other toy companies. Yeah Hasbro is definitely regretting being too ambitious with that movie studio especially.
That Rite-aid thing I used to do that back when I waws collecting Yugioh. there were places who got like one or two boxes, and when no one knew they had them they sat around for months and they eventually dumped them cheap.
I wonder how big of cut Hasbro has give back to the Sentai counterpart (original IP) owners and if this is due to it.
The direction they’ve been taking the western franchise is all due to wanting to make their own original IP within the brand. So they don’t have to pay the Sentai owners dam thing.

Fair point about Playmates. Still first issue then a reissue and 2 years later 3rd edition toys. Magic and Yugioh do it. Power Rangers about a dead franchise and IP.
There have been a ton of toys from big brands selling in Canadian Dollarama's for $5 or less. Some of the ones I have checked out on ebay after were selling for $20-$50. I have a couple of vynil Gundams and League of Legends statues for example. It's been pretty interesting.
Selling for or just being listed for what they were worth before Hasbro overproduced and the IP holder trashed the brand? It's been amazing watching all these adult children playing business.
I suppose. I'm grabbing them since they're at an okay price for the ones I have bought. All up on my shelf, since I'm not interested in reselling them. Wouldn't have bought them otherwise.
They should have just called Bandai. Bandai had been making Power Rangers toys for decades under both Saban and Disney, and Sentai toys even longer.
Well Bandai USA kind of screwed up PR over its last few years from the Legacy collection figures being really poorly handled, too taking 3 years to complete all the ranger keys (we never got Kat, Daishi or Camille), the ninja steel toy line being terrible, and the legacy Zords for some strange reason having Zord builder which was just poorly designed.
I have my original Minty (along with so many others). She, Bubbles, Surprise and Baby Surprise get pride of place on my shelf.
The struggle to find the original April O’Neil action figure is real. I was never able to get her when I was little.
Well, I'm probably out of Power Rangers. I already have a 12 member MMPR, and also a Complete Zeo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, Dino Thunder, and SPD Teams! But after that it's 2 Turbo, 2 Time Force, 1 Lightspeed Rescue, and 1 RPM! So now we're probably not going to complete any more Teams! They are going to restart with MMPR, and I don't need any MMPR!
Mmpr is definitely overstaying its welcome
I was at a store called Little Pickles which is in Red Hook, NY and I saw many of these board games that were made by Hasbro, but all of the original classic board games were reissued by none other than Winning Moves Games. So that’s why Hasbro outsourced their board game properties to Winning Moves as a company where they put out reissues of first edition and classic original board games like “Monopoly”, “Connect Four”, “Guess Who”, “Scrabble” and others, just like what Basic Fun to the MLP G1 toys that were reissued. I hope Winning Moves would do better reissuing many of the original board games to make it look better and more retro than the modern ones.
I’m pretty disappointed because Hasbro makes great Power Rangers toys. I have Lost Galaxy in the Lightning Collection and I’m trying to collect MMPR in the Lightning Collection. I’m disappointed but I’m glad I at least have one complete Power Rangers team ❤
Wish they would drop the price for Lincoln Logs, I buy them almost every year for the toys for tots boxes just because I love them as a kid..
Funny how they paid so much money, so they end up doing nothing
21:00 It's okay. Many of us were thinking that way about Ms. O'Neil back then. 😄 😆 🤣 😂 😅
If that's the case, tgen i could see hasbro outsourcing their marvel legends line or collaborate with other manufacturers, not likely, but looking forward to see how this transpires.
Also, I think that this situation is why the Hasbro NBA line got canceled.
Also a toy company like playmates made the godzilla x kong toys which have gone over really well. Could you imagine 2 megazords, 1 for older children and 1 for younger children so bigger zords that combine and small zords that combine.
No intro?
Pencils have erasers because everyone makes mistakes. I once got a pencil without an eraser, but I think it was a mistake.
Trying without for a bit. People keep complaining it blows out their ears.
@@ClownfishTV I mean, that makes sense. Honestly, the intro was kind of loud. However having no intro kind of makes the video feel, incomplete.
Maybe you can come up with a more "ear friendly" intro. You could experiment with a few intros to see which one people prefer.
This is the only video that never had its intro. I hope they might bring it back.
