The comics licence is still with Boom! Not with IDW.

You mean like how Star Wars was safely with Dark Horse when Disney bought it...

I don't get what you are trying to say, it is not like Hasbro owns ID W. So the comparison with Disney does not work.

They already have all of the most popular IPs so it wouldn't be that hard for them to slowly build up a company of their own as Hasbro's licenses expire and new IPs are made rather than spending a billion dollars on an existing one. Instead they've found it to be much easier to let other companies do the heavy work while they collect the license fees and free advertising just like they do with video games.

ZeroWolf wrote:Yes, and some monsters scaled to the zordsalways bugged me as a kid that the biggest monsters they did were scaled to the big ranger figures yet were smaller then the zords so it was never a fair fight.
