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.
