Trojan continues, "In terms of product, we can do any version of Power Rangers, subject to approval, so it is across the whole brand."

We then asked regarding partnerships for new entertainment, does Playmates Toys have the opportunity to take the lead on that? Trojan responds, "Yes, we could take the lead on that with everyone else involved. We've talked about it. We'll talk about it some point in the future."

He continues, "We're constantly talking about it. This is where we're starting to judge our success, but yeah, we would be the ones involved in that with Hasbro" subject to their current multi-year agreement. "We just don't have any announcements on that front yet."

Lastly, we asked what Playmates Toys expects to do differently with the toy line from previous years. Trojan chuckles to say, "'Previously' covers a lot of years!"

He continues, "Bandai [America] was originally for kids at the very beginning, and decades later it became more for collectors. Hasbro did a great collectors line and still has it, you're talking 50-dollar prop replicas and things like that, great stuff."

Jeff Trojan reiterates that they are focused on the mass market of kids who will back the entertainment. Collector figures will be in the mix, but not right away. At this time do not expect "something in the 100-dollar range strictly for an adult."
