The annual Licensing Expo trade show is currently underway in Las Vegas, Nevada and Saban Brands has turned out for one last hurrah!

Centerpiece to the Saban display are the heroes of Power Rangers Beast Morphers! This setup features the Red, Blue and Yellow Beast Morpher suits along with some basic line art for the series’ Megazord (official name not yet confirmed at time of writing).

Perhaps the most interesting bit on display is artwork featuring the Beast Morphers’ supporting cast- the Beast Bots– who will assist this team of Power Rangers. Each Ranger will have their own Beast Bot partner- Red Jaguar, Blue Gorilla & Yellow Rabbit.

This should finally ease some fan concerns on adapting certain elements from Beast Morphers’ source material, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.

Currently, Power Rangers Beast Morphers is set to air on Nickelodeon in 2019 but no further details are available just yet. Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new Power Rangers series!

Earlier this year we reported that Hasbro, Inc would be taking over as the main producer of Power Rangers toys. But it seems Hasbro’s interest in the brand did not stop at just merchandising.

In a special deal announced today, Hasbro has purchased the Power Rangers brand from Saban Properties LLC for a reputed $522 MILLION! This deal includes a number of Saban Brands’ other

Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner remarks on the purchase- “Power Rangers is an iconic brand built on a heritage of great storytelling and merchandising with tremendous upside potential when fully executed across Hasbro’s Brand Blueprint. Shortly after entering into our licensing arrangement, it became clear that now was the time to begin investing in unlocking Power Rangers’ full potential. We see significant opportunity for Power Rangers across our entire Brand Blueprint, including toys and games, consumer products, digital gaming and entertainment, as well as geographically throughout our global retail footprint.”

Meanwhile, Saban Brands’ founder Haim Saban will remain on-hand in a consulting role overseeing Hasbro’s efforts with Power Rangers for the time being. Saban adds- “25 years after launching Power Rangers, I believe the future for this brand has never been greater. Hasbro’s leadership in innovation, storytelling and brand stewardship make it the perfect company to further develop the global reach and appeal of the Power Rangers property. I look forward to working with Brian and the team in the years to come.”

The first Hasbro-centric series, Power Rangers Beast Morphers remains on track for a 2019 release.

Definitely an exciting new development for Power Rangers fans! Stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on this remarkable new change in Power Rangers history!

Hasbro hits the ground running with their new ownership of the Power Rangers toy license, confirming the next iteration of the franchise today at ToyFair!

In 2019 we can look forward to Power Rangers Beast Morphers! This new series will be an adaptation of the 2012 Super Sentai Series Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters!

A brief teaser synopsis for this series was released at the convention panel:
Set in the future, a secret agency combines a newly discovered substance called “Morph-X” with animal DNA to create the Power Rangers Beast Morphers team. The Rangers must fight off an evil sentient computer virus bent on taking over the source of all Ranger power, the Morphing Grid itself. Featuring never-before-seen leather suits and an all-new beast-themed arsenal (including dynamic new Zords), fans should get ready for a season full of secret ops and morphinominal fun.

This marks the first time Power Rangers has ever gone BACKWARDS in choosing a Super Sentai source material, and definitely opens an incredible number of possibilities for Hasbro’s use of the license.

Sadly, photography & video were not allowed at this presentation. But stay tuned to TokuNation as we keep you up to date on all Power Rangers Beast Morphers news!

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!
