Hasbro acquires PR rights

Its been a rollercoaster of emotions for PR who were wondering what would happen to our beloved toy line. I am happy to announce that Hasbro has acquired the rights for the toys. This is massive news for all of us. Hasbro has a track record of making excellent and show accurate toys such as the Transformers line. The deal will be in effect from 2019 and they will do all the toys for the new seasons plus all the nostalgia stuff. I am excited for this hope you guys are as well

The Roundup 2: Future of PR toys

Saban and Bandai have enjoyed a strong bond over the last couple of years. Bandai has been responsible for providing us with PR toys and collectables from the show. This split will adversely spoil the plans of such beloved items as the Legacy collection. Both companies had this to say: After a successful 25-year partnership building the iconic action franchise, Power Rangers, Saban Brands and Bandai have mutually agreed not to renew their global Power Rangers master toy license agreement, effective April 2019. Bandai will continue to support Power Rangers, including the 2018 commemoration of the Power Rangers 25th anniversary and the current season, Super Ninja Steel. In addition, Bandai, through its partnership with Toei Company Ltd., will continue to exploit toy rights for the Super Sentai series, which has enjoyed over 40 years of success, in Japan and select other Asian territories. Nickelodeon renew PR deal The Neo-Saban is set to continue. I am excited for this as we get t

Why I dont cover Ninja Steel

The main reason I do not cover Ninja Steel is that the show is very behind in my region. We are still on season 1 of the show. Don't get me wrong I like the show.

The Round Up 1: New Ranger Confirmed?!

The most anticipated crossover event in the Boom universe, more details have come out concerning a new ranger! Ryan Parrot had this to say,"It’s a new Ranger with a familiar face…They will arrive in a way that allows for a very personal relationship with all of the Rangers. With the first eight issues of  Saban’s Go Go Power Rangers  I’ve been trying to do very small, character-based stories. And I wanted to make sure that, for Shattered Grid, bringing in this new Ranger wouldn’t just mean that I would have to side-step all of the storylines that I’ve been building. What was great was, when we came up with who they are, they could be brought in in a way that actually propelled the personal stories in a way that actually made them better!" Lauren Shiba Confirmed The first female red ranger is going to play a pivotal role in the crossover. While Boom have been secretive about the details, they released a picture showing Lauren a and others in a fight for their

Exciting news coming from Saban. They have announced the book Alien Encounters in Angel Grove which will feature all the monsters in the series with their biographies.

The orders will be delivered on the 24th of June! I will be reviewing my copy when I get it

Finster 5?!

With the imminent arrival of the Shattered Grid, Boom studios have started dropping more information about the event. The latest being the romoured debut of Finster Five who is Lord Drakkon right hand man. I am guessing he is the Finster of Drakkon's universe who was merged with Alpha after something happened to him. I can not wait to see him in all his glory. He is going to be a great addition to the cannon.
