Yup, that's also my idea of why they failed as well. It's not that PR is not profitable, it's that they don't know what to do with it, and do it right. By applying the same idea that PR is not profitable, other Sentai toy line should have died by now. Let's be honest, you buy the figures most of the time because of the suit, not the actors, and both Sentai and PR have identical suits. A Sentai fan can get the PR stuff as well, as long as it's the figure they want, and the quality is good, which are two of the things Habsro failed to archive.
There's a massive gap in the market where Sentai franchise has yet to fill. Ligthspeed, Ninja Storm, Wild Force in 6 inch scale etc. The LC started with MM and ended with MM. They released a bunch of figures that would not sell well i.e., the monsters. GI Joe started as a 90 franchise, and look how well it's doing now, and it's the same in house franchise as PR. It's not the franchise, it's the people behind the team not knowing what to do.
Shodo did a bunch of figures of other team, and they have Zord as well, they released a bunch of Zords that Hasbro would not do in a million years, because they were too busy with MM. They have one unique ranger which is Titannium, and that's one of the best design I've ever seen, and they didn't even bother with releasing one before the line end. Instead, you know? How about remastered MM? Green, but without armor!
