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 three seasons on Nickelodeon. This era has had classic seasons such as Dino Charge, Samurai and the iconic Ninja Steel.

Issue 26 MMPR

The Boom Studio comics have been a revelation for PR fans. There is so much hype and anticipation towards the Shattered Grid and it has delivered. The writers have done an excellent job of slowly introducing characters and fleshing them out. The comic begins with the rangers trying to deal with the death of Tommy. Jason for the first time seems rattled by this. I can feel his pain, losing a friend is never an easy thing to do. The other rangers are trying to move on but the constant reminders are taking a toll on them.  Lord Drakkon returns home to regroup before attacking again. the target seems to be the Samurai Rangers. Drakkon meets up with Finster 5 and the two embrace which was a shock to me. This Tommy did not seem to like anyone and this shows he has a human heart. The two discuss the possibility of getting new power for Drakkon and the process involved which can have severe effects on Drakkon.  The next act sees the Samurai Rangers at the Shiba House tr...
