Licensing Show Preview Page Posted

Posted by BurgundyRanger at RangerBoard via TL Power Up from SPRC board (no links altered by me):

Disney Consumer Products has put up their preview page for the Licensing International Expo 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada, and in the Logo Kit section, towards the end on Page 4, is the generic “Power Rangers” logo Disney uses. Compare that to the 2008 Licensing Show page and Logo Kit where no PR logo was included and we only got one piece of Go-onger artwork at the show.

Note that this does not mean something related to Samurai Sentai Shinkenger is in the works or will be announced. It is possible that Disney is only going to focus on “legacy” Power Ranger products instead of adapting a new sentai series. Also, more importantly, as Burgundy Ranger has mentioned in the past, it clearly indicates the Power Rangers property is not for sale, as why on Earth would any company be licensing out consumer products based on PR if they were going to sell the rights to it soon?

Evidence of RPM being the last season

We’ve just come across Linear Ranger’s post on February 27th “Power Rangers RPM – The Final Live Action Season“. This is especially interesting as we only briefly touched upon this possibility, thinking this was only a fan-oriented discussion without any major evidence out there. Now Linear Ranger is only talking about RPM being the final season in the LIVE ACTION version, not PR in general. Or are we wrong? You also might want to read Burgundy Ranger’s latest BREAKING NEWS update focusing on the end. It is a bit depressing to say the least. Hey, Power Rangers couldn’t last forever could it? Maybe we’re all just putting the cart before the horse… Only time will tell! A truly interesting discussion…

How has Disney done with PR?

The thread was originally supposed to be on Disney’s work in general, not just Power Rangers, but it appears the thread has turned into a PR discussion. I love linking to these, always have, but I’ll stick to my opinions and say I’m not too impressed with PR under Disney, enough said. There are a good amount of others who would agree.
