The Hasbro PR teams just sent through an update on packaging changes for multiple collector level brands, including Power Rangers Lightning Collection. Window packaging using more sustainable plastics will be returning to the line starting in late 2023. What do you guys think, let us know on the forums and social!

We wanted to share an update on packaging for Hasbro’s 6-inch-scale figures. Based on your feedback, we will be re-introducing windows and blisters to our 6-inch fan figures beginning later this year, into 2024 for select products across our portfolio of brands, including, G.I. Joe Classified, Power Rangers Lightning Collection, Star Wars Black Series and Marvel Legends. This will eventually expand to all new 6-inch figure releases.

The new windows and blisters will be made from bio PET or recycled PET helping us achieve our priority of meeting our fans’ expectations for extraordinary packaging and superior design while still developing packaging that minimizes waste and the use of virgin plastic.

Thank you again for being one of our biggest fans and for your continued support of Hasbro.

Fans of the Power Rangers rejoice – arguably the biggest “Why haven’t they made this yet?” role-play toy is finally getting made and joining the product lineup for this year’s 30th anniversary of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Originally reported by The Illuminerdi and backed up by a never-before-released exert of an interview with the late Jason David Frank, Hasbro will be releasing the Master Morpher – which made its debut in the 25th anniversary episode of the franchise “Dimensions in Danger” during Power Rangers Ninja Steel – sometime this year.  While there are no official details available (the item hasn’t been officially announced), it is expected to be a GameStop exclusive and available this Fall.  In the show, the item allows Tommy Oliver to change between all five of his previous Power Rangers incarnations.

Toy leaker @LightningFigPR on Twitter has teased that the Master Morpher will come with six total coins – Dragon, Tiger, Falcon, Zeo, Turbo, and Dino Thunder.  The Master Morpher should also come with newly recorded dialogue for each morph as seen in the show.

Stay tuned for more details as they release.

For fans of the Power Rangers Lightning Collection, the final piece (at least to the main core 5) of the Power Rangers S.P.D. team is almost here!  Thanks to @shishinigami32 we have our first in-hand images of the upcoming SPD Yellow Ranger.  Of note, this specific item looks to have come with extra accessories.  We assume that is, unfortunately, another quality-control issue as the Power Rangers Lightning Collection continues to be absolutely plagued by them in all recent releases.

We do not have a release date for this figure because as of this posting, Hasbro has yet to announce the item for release despite official images being leaked and now the item releasing outside the United States.

under General Tokusatsu News

Hasbro has announced that they will be eliminating 1,000 jobs from their global workforce – or 15% of their entire workforce – within the coming weeks to combat lower-than-expected fiscal results for 2022.  This is all part of a new plan from new CEO Chris Cocks titled “Blueprint 2.0”, which sees the company as a whole transition away from former CEO Brian Goldner‘s vision of Hasbro becoming an entertainment company and more in to Hasbro becoming a gaming company.

The gaming division of Hasbro – specifically Wizards of the Coast – was the only segment of business to see positive revenues in 2022.  That is before the debacle with the changes to their Open Gaming License (OGL) which saw tens of thousands of fans cancel their paid online accounts with Dungeons and Dragons in protest.

Hasbro is also looking to sell off their recently acquired entertainment division, eOne, but maintain control of the intellectual properties that they can exploit in other segments of business (ie: toys, games, cards, etc.).  The company already sold off the music portion of eOne which, coupled with the lack of meaningful IP’s may make selling the rest of eOne harder than expected.

Our thoughts and positive energies are with those effected negatively by these upcoming layoffs.

The Cosmic Fury season will have all new Ranger suits designed by Sarah Voon and new weapons designed by Tracey Collins.
