I think they'll lose their primary market if they nix the female figures entirely. Or they'll lose enough of the completionist that it will have a heavier effect on sales.
I think better pack assortments is the easiest first step for them. Again, ala weapon MMPR.
Second is the reevaluation of the baf. The biggest problem is its a zord. You can buy a superior version for less money. If Marvel Legends started doing all the giant sized characters in the 12 inch line, no one would feel the need to build them. The big bad from the season is the obvious choice. Rita, Zed, even Goldar for the MMPR waves seems like a given, or just a goon like the Putties. They can't make it the 6th ranger unfortunately because of they have to completely redesign the ranger mold for that. Build an Alpha seems like a better idea than a zord at the very least though I don't know how well the movie figures sold.
My preference would be to go the Black Series route, nix the BAZ, and pack in the signature weapons or accessories. It causes me no end of frustration to see Ninja Storm on the shelves and pass because they don't have their freaking weapons. I loved that season and want to see the rest of the team, the Thunder brothers are some of my favorite rangers, but they just aren't full figures. It would be amazing to get the figure, their signature weapon, and an unmasked head. To double down on the BS comparison, they build up their character and develop them. You can see the figures that are peg warming because A) Redundant/over saturated character or B) throw away undeveloped character.
Bandai backed themselves into a corner. The BAF was an organic creation to fill a need with ML, but companies seem to think you can just throw any old thing into pieces and sell a wave. Doesn't work like that.
I really want to support this line, and I like these figures, just Bandai is making it really, really hard. I just wanna get a Titanium Ranger. Is that too much to ask?
