Saban and Bandai news (Hasbro Update)

[Legend Ranger]

I definitely see Hasbro buying Power Rangers in five to ten years. Disney is not likely to have anything to do with it though.

not that many it's just the Princess brand so it wouldn't be worth it granted having the Transformers property would be of interest to them but they really don't have much of anything else. They bought Fox Family Worldwide because they wanted Fox Family and they struck a deal with 20th Century Fox for their main TV networks and movie licenses. What does Hasbro have that would interest them besides those 2 licenses?

Doesn't the press release ( for Hasbro Partnership) hint that there is a strong that Power Rangers could be sold to Hasbro at some point?

Actually Hasbro as a deal to do Marvel and Star Wars toys. Which are both lwned by Disney. Not saying it means either conpany will buy the other ( I don't see them merging). But its worth noting they do a lot lf business together.

yes but it doesn't mean anything will happen it just means Hasbro has that option of offering a deal to buy the franchise they don't have to and even if they do Saban Capital Group is under no obligation to accept it

even with those other brands it still wouldn't be enough to be worth it for Disney to even think for a second about buying Hasbro. They don't have any TV networks the way Fox Family Worldwide did and the way 20th Century Fox currently has.

I don't see them putting that in the deal and making it public if there wasn't a strong chance Hasbro was going to buy the brand someday. Nothing is final until it happens though.

[Kilobyte]

I don't see Disney buying Hasbr or vice versa.

Hasbro needs to convince Toei to stop making Pink Rangers.
