Those lines were made, though, but they aren't something like Dragon Ball, which does well in sales both in Japan and worldwide. It's also a brand that has the benefit of having collectors who would buy ten versions of the same character like Goku and Vegeta with slight remolds and new hair pieces to easily help fund the budget for more original characters like an Evil Buu.
Because of that it's understandable why Bandai is focusing it's attention on the big brands instead of rushing out something like more Sentais, where the only major interest was for select eras like Zyuranger/MMPR, and that interest kind of dried up once Bandai finished making those figures. Or why something like Ranma 1/2 only gets like four figures total for the main characters and that's that.
It's not meant as a knock on those other franchises and their fans, though, it's just how it is.

Becuase last time I looked on Amazon he was like $50.
It's like $38.50 on there right now from a seller with Prime shipping available, which is basically retail. He's also $27.99 at BBTS right now as well.
I really think if Bandai should reissue something, it should probably be a Figuart that is long sold out selling on eBay for like $100 plus, and not a figure that has been readily available for well over a year and is still selling new for retail or less.
