Saban Brands makes deal with Mega Bloks

"Mega Brands has signed a multi-year global licensing deal with Saban Brands, which excludes Asia. The Mega Bloks Power Rangers Samurai construction toy sets will launch in spring 2012, and will include vehicles and play-sets. "...we are delighted to add Mega Bloks to our stable of license offerings," added Elie Dekel, president of Saban Brands."

I wonder why Mr. Dekel said that Mega Bloks is being added since Mega Bloks already produced Power Rangers products in the past under the reign of Disney. But to be fair, they stopped doing it around SPD. And why so late to be in 2012???!

I'm glad Gold Ranger and Deker are getting toys. It is cool they are having Deker, a villain included. Also interesting he is getting a 'Motor Head,' whatever that is. Also interesting we are getting a Yellow Zord, I hope it includes the Yellow Ranger, if not maybe a Green Ranger like MMPR 2010 did but that was Bandai America, not MegaBloks.

  1. Multi-year? Probably shouldn't have said Samurai then. I reckon it starts with the Gosei adaptation.
