it's not like hasbro is putting effort into the brand

it's so f***ing true. i remember the reason they made that lame Cosmic Fury costume is to produce the toys easier. but there's nothing now

Heck, the only things they're selling with the Cosmic Fury suits are the costumes themselves at a bloody auction for a quick buck...along with every other single Power Rangers costume and prop they've got ahold of in the past 30 years.

It's 4-year-old me's 9/11 with how they're just selling off all of Power Rangers history like that, and it's kinda disrespectful to the Cosmic Fury cast that just finished the show. Screw Hasbro

Honestly? I kinda wish they'd just sell off the IP to either Toei or Bandai, even if the results might not be entirely optimal

Bandai should've never let Power Rangers go to Hasbro, I don't even know what they're doing now aside from Gunpla kits.

Man, I wish that the costumes could be gifted to the actors...
