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!

Unruly Industries Power Rangers Scoops – Designer Collectible Busts

When you need to chill out with your friends after saving the world, reach for a One-Scoops! This Mighty meltin’ Power Rangers — Designer Collectible Bust Sets by artist Erik Scoggan tastes like sweet, sweet victory.

Artist Bio: Erik Scoggan is a graphic artist from Southern California who was raised on superhero cartoons, junk food, and ‘The Far Side’ comics. Utilizing pop art and surrealist influences, the tone of his work gravitates towards the off-centered and humorous.

Artist Statement: “In a continuation of the One-Scoops series, I wanted to bring a surrealist element to the iconic Power Rangers characters in ice cream form. When I was growing up, I always thought they had the coolest helmet designs, and it’s fun to imagine what they would look like if they were melting out in the sun on a hot, Angel Grove, day. I’d like to think they’d sell these at that ‘Gym and Juice Bar’ those teenagers always seem to be hanging out in every episode.”

Each set retails for $250 USD. More details for the busts are available at Sideshow’s website:

It’s time to Ranger Up with @trekkieb47, @secretrangerfan & @ZachLaVoy as they talk all things Power Rangers on the Four Eyed Radio Network with RANGER COMMAND POWER HOUR!

On this episode, hosts Eric and Zach are joined by Josh (@KentuckyJAM) and Kenn (@TheKennGlenn) to discuss Hasbro’s Fan First Tuesday for Power Rangers.

We catch up on the news that wasn’t discussed on Tuesday including BOOM! Studios’ “Charge to 100” event, Lightning Collection Red Ecliptor and the Retro Megazord Wave 2 collection. Then, it’s our reaction to the very short Fan First Tuesday (13 minutes!).

How could Hasbro have better prepared for fan backlash? Were expectations too high going into the event? What was up with Power Ranger’s tweet before the event? What does Kenn have to apologize for?

We talk about all of the products featured on the stream including the Lord Drakkon helmet, Color Swap 2-pack, the final wave of Ninja Rangers, Party City Piñatas, the Power Sword, ZAP Dragonzord and more. We give our predictions of the future and how things could have been done better.

Finally, we read your thoughts about the event.

But for them, it was just a Tuesday…
