It's not a huge surprise, but it is a little sad.

Ya sad to hear. But logical as has brought likely to want to keep things in house. Though I do wonder old props and suits Saban brands at at there place will go to hasbro office. Plus since we know Haim will still be a consultant. Plus we know other folks like Saban casting folks, and chip where/are working on beast morphers. If they are just moving now to hasbro offices.

So what happens to the other rights Saban Brands have?
I found a tweet asking this as well:

It's sad to see it shut down, but it's honestly not surprising given what's been going on these last few months.

If I recall wasn't majority of currently owned Saban brands properties sold to hasbro along with power Rangers. As essentially hasbro bought the company as a whole. It will be interesting to see if any Saban brands folks will end up joining hasbro to run the sb stuff at hasbro. Same goes for Power Rangers production folks itself ie writers, directors, vo folks, and producers.

Ya does sucks for folks to lose jobs. Hopefully said folks can land new jobs. And some to maybe go to hasbro. But this does usually happen when one company buys over another. The buyer company takes the assets of the sold company. Keeps some folks and rest are let go. As why do you need double the amount of same jobs. I do still wonder just on power rangers side of things how much this affects the production end folks as I said before the writers, directors, and us/nz producers.

I would love to see what Chip Lynn has to say about all of this.

I am sure chip will say something soon. But like I said even with Saban brands the company ending. I doubt that really means much of a lose for the nz production folks on pr. As we do know bm will be filming in nz, already in mists of casting. So the nz folks in writers, the nz producers, nz vo folks and we know chip is still exec producer are all likely still employed. As to will they be after bm that is the question. After bm would hasbro want to have a total clean slate and hire all new production folks. Same goes will remain in nz, or move production back to the states or canada.
Again the folks who are losing there jobs are the folks who worked at Saban brands building in cali and what ever jobs those folks did.

Okay so with Saban Brands closing I have concluded. 1. This is PRs last stop 2. Hasbro needs to change the PR formula or else its gonna die a lot sooner than we think. I wouldnt mind seeing an animated series on Netflix for the Y-7 level. Kinda like in the PJ mask style. Dont know if anyone watches that show but its funny and entertaining for Y-7. The animations is dope also. I think Hasbro is about to flood us with PR and put a lot of money into the promo. Hopefully they will renegotiate with Nick about showtimes and # of episodes. Hasbro can pretty much do what ever they want now. They shouldve got the rights to mask rider also and vr troopers. That wouldve been crazy!!! Saban had some great ideas but he blew them because PR was his baby. Ive said this before. I hope Hasbro know what they are sitting on

If Hasbro does a animated Power Rangers series I think it should be a retelling of the first Power Rangers with Jason, Trini, Billy, Kimberly, and Zack battling Rita Repulsa & her horde of monsters. Just a personal opinion.

that i wouldnt want saban for past 8 years has just banked on old mmpr stuff. I would want hasbro to use all of the franchise in future branding/merch stuff beyond current season merch. So if we got a cartoon which i doubt we would. I rather it be either a totally new ideal or something that uses all the series. I just dont want a rehash of mm again and again.
Fufer, i dont think we need to have a massive change to the franchise we dont want to see a totally off the mark of what franchise is. Again like i and others have said we need to get away from the neo saban era stuff that was targeting the toddler market for what ever reason and the super kiddy tone. We need to get back to late saban/disney era style of tone and direction. And really i doubt the franchise is going to die any time soon. It still makes decent money on merch, we know show itself has 3 more seasons as of right now for nick. The franchise isnt all doom and gloom.
