From what I've heard it's because outside of the ZyuRanger ones they all sold horribly.

Its a shame because I think those are the best looking figuarts.

From what I heard they didn't do well so they pulled a final gambit. For Sun Vulcan. Despite the Zyuranger stuff selling well due to American audiences

Didn't Tamashii Nations just display re-releases of the MMPR Red and Green Rangers at Toy Fair? I surely hope these aren't mere display pieces.

My guess as to why they didn't sell well is because you kinda have to buy the complete team. Unlike Kamen Rider or any other figuarts where you just need to buy one to get the full feel of the figure.
Rangers are part of a team and just getting one and not the others would feel odd. While something like a rider figuart can do pretty well on it's own without having to get the others from it's show. Which if that was the case than getting the whole team would be more expensive. Again this is just my guess as to why. |

Many pre-order them, most of them became Web Exclusives and you had fans that are like "I will wait for the price to drop" or "I will wait for a deal on Ebay and Mandarake". We got the full Zyuranger team mostly likely due to the Red and Green Ranger selling very well. Not to mention, I was told that the US market help the sales for the MMPR/Zyuranger figuarts. Sometimes Tamashii does do stuff for the US market (DBZ, WWE, TMNT, DC/Injustice, etc).

It's because it's a no win situation.
Fans demand full teams. Only red and 6th sell. Others shelf warm for ages. It puts Bandai in a hard spot, since they can either put out what will sell and piss off fans, or appease fans while knowing 4/6 of the team will sit around. On the flip side, they could make half the team online exclusive, but that's a whole other can of worms.
