People resorted to buying Reds and Sixth guys, and at the tail end of the line even those sold absolutely awful. Kyoryu Red did so poorly he was at the bottom of the bin at just about every website that sold these things. He ended up as custom fodder most of the time, and even then it took years and years before he went out of stock.

These figures didn't sell well, so they stopped doing them. It’s the same answer every single time you bring this up, might as well accept it someday.
Hence why they should have just done box sets. Release the main team in one set and put the sixth rangers out individually.

I never argued that they didn't sell well. They didn't sell well because people got sick of not getting an entire team after awhile. They also showed off prototypes and then did nothing with them. Baseball Mask, Leo, Mele, Bouken Silver, Bouken Pink, Bouken Yellow, Yellow Owl, White Swan, Blue Swallow, etc. By the time Bandai released Gorenger, no one cared anymore because no one trusted the line. Hell, I even gave up by that point so I never touched Akaranger nor the Sun Vulcan guys.

Of course, I also stopped due to having the hip joints on Shinken Red, Gokai Red, and Gokai Green break.

But whatever, Hasbro has shown far more love for Sentai/PR in one year than Bandai has shown in over a decade, so even if Bandai were to restart the Sentai line, outside of Dairanger, I wouldn't touch it.
