After the shocking announcement yesterday that Saban Brands was parting with long-time manufacturing partner Bandai America many fans were left speculating what would happen to the future of the Power Rangers toy license.

Well, wonder no more!

The toy license for Power Rangers has been given to HASBRO– a giant in the toy industry best known for hit series like Transformers or My Little Pony.

This new agreement, to start in 2019, is described by Hasbro’s CEO Brian Goldner (a long-time friend of Power Rangers mogul Haim Saban) as a “reinvention of the Power Rangers brand.” Furthermore, Goldner states that Hasbro will be “mindful of the franchises’ history and legacy material” when considering releases.

More details about this exciting new partnership are likely to be revealed during this weekends’ New York Toy Fair 2018– so stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new moment in Power Rangers history!

Update – full press release after the break!

We learned two days ago through sources at this year’s New York Toy Fair that the Power Rangers toy license was going to be up for grabs and would be leaving Bandai America after 25 years. We cannot 100% confirm this as fact but we have from multiple sources that the Power Rangers license is now part of Hasbro, or at the very least, will be soon.

Just a few minutes ago, Saban Brands announced that Bandai America will no longer be part of the Power Rangers franchise after April of 2019. Because of that announcement we’ve chosen to move forward with posting these rumors.

We will have more information on this as we move forward.

Strap in folks, this one is big.

It was announced in a short press release that Bandai America is no longer going to be the partner for Saban Brands for the Power Rangers toy franchise. The press release is below.

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.

We have more details and will announce them shortly.

Interesting bit of news late tonight – a new logo for Power Rangers has been shared on the Saban Brands Vimeo page. The video shows the logo being used now for “Power Rangers” being transformed in to this new logo that is both similar to the movie logo but different.

As we were typing this story the video has been taken down. However, we do have a copy of the video and of course have copied the screen shot of the logo. Check it out!

It has been announced today via a press release that Saban Brands has reached an agreement with Nickelodeon to keep our spandex heroes on the kid’s network for another two years past the finale of Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel. The agreement should, if our assumptions are correct, carry the brand for the next series after Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, which is heavily favored to be an adaptation of Uchu Sentai Kyuranger, which just finished airing in Japan.

While some fans will be skeptical at the continued partnership between Saban Brands and Nickelodeon – many fans blame the drop in the show’s quality on rumored Nickelodeon mandates – it at least guarantees that Power Rangers will live to see it’s 26th and 27th season.

What this means now, for the rest of us, is that a release of information on the 26th season of Power Rangers is imminent. Will we be flying through space with an Uchu Sentai Kyuranger adaptation? Or will we be calling upon animals, in some way shape or form, with an adaptation of Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger? Stay tuned!
