HASBRO’S ENTERTAINMENT STUDIO, EONE, ANNOUNCES NEW EPISODES OF “POWER RANGERS: DINO FURY” DROPPING THIS SEPTEMBER

 The Second Installment of Episodes for Season 2 of the hit show will premiere this Fall on Netflix in the United States

NEW YORK, NY (August 22, 2022) – Hasbro’s entertainment studio, eOne, announces that the next installment of the 29th season of the global franchise “Power Rangers” will be arriving on Netflix in the U.S. later this fall. Following a thrilling batch of episodes that dropped earlier this year, the second season of “Power Rangers: Dino Fury” will close out with 11 exciting 22-minute episodes, which will debut on September 29, 2022.

The announcement comes as Hasbro’s Power Week (August 22-28) begins to roll out with a number of exciting developments about what fans can expect as the franchise continues to evolve and expand.

In Season 2, with the seeming defeat of the villainous Void Knight, Pine Ridge has enjoyed a period of relative calm. The Rangers have thrown themselves into their civilian lives while Zayto and Aiyon use the technology of Dinohenge to search for their home planet of Rafkon. That’s all about to change. With villains new and old gathering against them, the adventure of the Dino Fury Power Rangers is only beginning.

“Power Rangers: Dino Fury” stars Russell Curry, Hunter Deno, Jordon Fite, Kai Moya, Chance Perez and Tessa Rao and Simon Bennett serves as showrunner.

“We are so excited for fans to experience the final climactic episodes of season two, where all storylines and threads pay off,” said Simon Bennett. “We’ve packed in twists and turns, as well moments of heart between these amazing Power Rangers, and it is been so rewarding to see these characters grow over the last two years.”

The first half of “Power Rangers: Dino Fury” Season 2 is currently available now on Netflix. Additionally, Hasbro’s toy line, inspired by the series, features new Lightening Collection characters, new weapons, new Zords (with unique Megazord combinations!), and a new vehicle, the Dino Fury Cycle, a T-rex inspired motorcycle with blasters.

NEWS – Plastic-Free Packaging Letter From Hasbro

By | |
1 Comment

UPDATE (4/6/2023): This initiative has been cancelled due to fan response. Starting later in 2023, windowed packaging will use bio PET or recycled PET.

Below is a letter we received direct from Hasbro regarding their Plastic-Free Packaging initiatives. For Power Rangers fans, more details will be released “in the coming weeks”, most likely with the next wave of announcements during Pulse Con.

Hello –

Thank you for being a continued fan of Hasbro and its iconic brands. With more exciting reveals to come with this week’s San Diego Comic-Con, we wanted to reach out to share a little more information on Hasbro’s transition to plastic-free packaging.

At Hasbro, we have set a goal to eliminate virtually all plastic from new, single-use product packaging by the end of 2022. The company is currently on track to meet its industry-leading goal, reducing the use of virgin plastic by an estimated 19.5 million pounds annually.

What does this mean for products from fan-favorite Hasbro brands? You may have already noticed the transition to new plastic-free packaging within some kid-focused figures, and most 6-inch figures will transition to plastic-free packaging by early 2023. Today, we wanted to give you an early look at what to expect.

We’ve included a few examples here of what the new plastic-free packaging will look like across several brands. This includes an example of a Stormtrooper figure from the 2020 Star Wars: The Black Series line, as well as the G.I. JOE Classified Series Kamakura, Marvel Legends Series 6 Inch X-Men 90s Animated Series, and Marvel Legends Series Spider-Man Beyond Amazing: Iron Spider & Amazing Fantasy #15, all available now for order or pre-order. The Power Rangers Lightning Collection lines will reveal new plastic-free packaging in the coming weeks.

As part of the shift away from window boxes, you’ll see highly detailed artwork and exciting new imagery on each package featuring iconic characters and their figures inside. This includes new packaging art that will showcase the articulation and poseability of each figure.

Our goal does not include packaging for fan collectible products like 3.75” action figures, where packaging is part of the product experience and typically retained intact for fan display and collections. Those lines include Star Wars Vintage and Retro, as well as other collectible brands such as Marvel Retro and the G.I. JOE Retro. In support of Hasbro’s lower carbon strategy and upcoming science-based targets, our fan collectible blister packaging will continue to be made with either plant-based or recycled PET content.

Hasbro, with the support of its collaborators, is committed to doing what’s right for the future of the planet and looks forward to having its fans along for the journey.

Thank you again for the continued support!

Hasbro
