>License out Power rangers to playmates>Playmates makes a ton of money>Get Voltron license after Playmates is done with itDoes Hasbro actually think Voltron is still relevant? This movie is gonna bomb hard. Gen Xers thought Power rangers was a Voltron ripoff, but even with Power rangers currently dead, it still ran for 30 years and now way more generations see that as the main combining robot franchise.

>>11699075>that was a success.For the wrong fucking reason.
>>11699082Toys are a perfectly good reason for a show to be considered a success
>>11699092Didn't the toys bomb?
>>11699092But not that one. The writers flat out admitted they hated using Voltron, and it was more famous for shipping and drama. The toys bombed spectacularly.
