It's Hasbro-ver: Hasbro Licenses Power Rangers Toy Rights To Playmates
Update: 2024-04-30
Description
Hasbro, ostensibly a toy company, has licensed global Power Rangers toy rights to Playmates, with CEO Chris Cocks telling investors the brand just wasn't profitable enough to keep making in-house. With the sale of Entertainment One and the apparent fizzling-out of Jonathan Entwistle's planned movie and television projects, is this the end of the road for Power Rangers? Tyler and Josh talk about it.
