Check out the Q&A below.

It’s a homecoming in so many ways.
Melissa Flores, former Director of Development for Power Rangers at Hasbro, as well as Producer on the Power Rangers Beast Morphers television show, and other creative and production related titles with Saban Brands, is returning to the Power Rangers brand as the writer for the BOOM! Studios comic book. The comic – which has been split in to two titles currently (Mighty Morphin and Power Rangers) has been written by Mathew Groom and Ryan Parrott respectively – will return to a single title (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) with Issue 101.
Melissa is popular within the fan community for her interaction with fans at conventions and her online presence. She was unceremoniously laid off by Hasbro a few years back.
She has partnered with both Ryan Parrott and Mathew Groom – as well as former Mighty Morphin Power Rangers writer Kyle Higgins – to start her own creator-owned comic book called “The Dead Lucky” which releases on August 3rd. Be sure to check it out!
It has been two years since a potential Super Sentai series on DVD was teased. However, as Saban Brands sold the entirety of the Power Rangers franchise to Hasbro – along with all their licensing contracts – the future of the Super Sentai series on DVD from Shout! Factory became clouded with doubt and uncertainty. Over the last two years, we were able to confirm that Shout! Factory wanted to continue releasing Super Sentai on DVD, meaning the future was in the hands of Hasbro.
Fast forward to today and Shout! Factory, in partnership with eOne Entertainment (whom Hasbro has transferred all the entertainment side of their business to), is pleased to announce the return of Super Sentai to DVD in North America with the upcoming release of Chikyu Sentai Fiveman!
Fans can pre-order Chikyu Sentai Fiveman: The Complete Series by clicking here. The set will release on September 6th, 2022.
We reached out to Shout! Factory regarding the possibility of future subtitled Super Sentai releases and got the following response:
“We currently have 12 Super Sentai titles in release and Fiveman will be the 13th. Our hope is that we can continue to release more.” – Melissa Boag, EVP, Kids & Family Entertainment – Shout! Factory

SUPER SENTAI: CHIKYUU SENTAI FIVEMAN | Synopsis
SUPER SENTAI: CHIKYUU SENTAI FIVEMAN premiered in Japan in 1990 and was the fourteenth installment of the Super Sentai metaseries.
Twenty years after their planet was attacked by the brutal Zone Empire, the five Hoshikawa children, who escaped and were raised on Earth, must prepare for a brand-new war. This time, though, they’re ready … having developed the powerful Fiveman technology that will help them defend Earth from the same empire that conquered their home world.
In a shocking twist that no one saw coming, an unannounced Power Rangers Lightning Collection figure has been discovered. Malaysian retailer MyToy shared on their Facebook page their latest acquisition of brand new Power Rangers Lightning Collection Metallic Mighty Morphin White Ranger, the final addition to the Metallic collection.
This Tommy comes with a brand new head sculpt and the fully formed Zeo Crystal. Unlike the other Mighty Morphin Power Rangers figures to receive the Metallic treatment, there does NOT appear to be a new helmet sculpt.
When will this figure be released? When will this figure be announced? Roll the dice because no one truly knows.
The Emissary from Hell is coming to Hasbro’s Marvel Legends line, with this exciting new addition to Hasbro’s popular action figure series: Marvel Legends Japanese Spiderman from the Toei’s take on the pop culture icon which debuted in 1978.
The current price and release date for the figure isn’t known, but we do know that the figure will be going up for pre-order tomorrow via Hasbro Pulse, so we’ll be sure to update you as soon as more info arrives.
