You can't get much better than that for Hasbro.

I think Hasbro will make the Rangers immaculate. SO yes they can use the same buck but that will allow them to create unique villains and unique BAFS. People will army build the Putties or whatever the generic army villains are easily.

This line has great potential under hasbro. Plus you now have a very successful comic franchise, Japanese source material and so on.

I am not sure if Hasbro has access to the Pre-Ranger stuff, but that stuff has potential as well. Imagine Hasbro using that stuff to create new story lines for the US audience. Hasbro knows their stuff.

PLUS they WANT a shared universe of Rangers, Transformers and Joes. This was a bold move and Hasbro will push the Rangers as their #1 property as Rangers appeal to children, has high moral value, adults love it. It's essentially HAsbro's own Superheroes. They will be pushed just like Legends.

I do wonder if Hasbro will tackle older Monsters from past seasons beyond MMPR. It interesting to see how they tackle the smaller monsters and when Rita makes them grow. What could those plans be if any? Maybe this is where they can use the same sculpts to create 6" and 12" scale figures and save costs...but who knows.
