Sad news: Bandai dismantling their Power Rangers departments... :(

[Fundodo]

Instead of PMing people, I thought I'd just make the following public for all:

As some of you already know, the company I work for are currently re-dubbing the English version of a pretty major anime, and its my team's job to make sure Bandai's peeps are in-sync with our dub, and vice-versa.

Anyhow, today was told the Power Rangers department for Europe (based in Southampton, England) is being dismantled, and the same is happening in USA.

I imagine most people will be moved onto other franchises, like the upcoming Ben 10: Evolutions, and any future PR work will be done by a very small freelance team.

That's all I know.

So what does this mean exactly?

it was fun while it lasted. Oh well.

This franchise would still be kicking ass and taking name if Hasbro had been involved >.>

Do we really need anymore "PR is dying" threads? I mean, why focus on this? Why not just enjoy RPM now?

[Punk]

^ This has nothing to do with PR dying, the thread is focusing on the toyline.

Still, why all these doom and gloom threads about PR? One who focuses on the negative side of things becomes negative himself.

With this news and the PR toysales news, the chances of seeing new Super Legends toys in 2010 seems kinda bleak now.
