Heck instead of the usual bow throw in the Sword of Light as an exclusive item, that'd be cool. |

Check out the survey grnrngr did and get ready for more MMPR! Yeah, there's lots of people asking for more MMPR. But I can't recall a single person asking for, like, this? Most times I see it come up I see people wanting Ninjor, or the Ninja outfits they wore in Season 3, or a couple other monsters, or a single-packed Rita, or Rito. And further questions down this specific survey reflect that! Fans are wanting more MMPR more than anything, and I don't doubt that; it's always been the big seller. But... of those people, are there many people wanting these kinds of reveals? Cel-shaded versions? One of the biggest other seasons they wanted packing in a figure they've probably already bought? That same figure twice? The survey, interestingly, also goes on to mention that most respondents selected other seasons -- under 1% of respondents only selected MMPR, and the average respondent selected 12 different seasons! While people are asking for MMPR more than anything, they're also asking for a lot more than MMPR alongside that; and frankly this data shows that the gap between the percentage wanting, say, Time Force or Ninja Storm or Mystic Force is actually very very close to the percentage wanting MMPR or Boom. The most definitive thing you could say about people not wanting non-MMPR stuff is that people aren't that interested in wanting non-MMPR MOTWs. Like, when I look at this survey; it seems depressing in the way you mention at first but if anything it just kind of highlights how much people want stuff that isn't MMPR! They want MMPR to keep coming but not to the extent of it taking up so much of the line!

Maybe it's just me, but I feel Hasbro is following that idea through though, atleast for the most part. If we're talking strictly the main line, Waves 8 and 9 both have no MMPR in them(unless you count the Tenga), and when it's come to recent exclusives there's been plenty: The A-Squad Rangers and the multiple In Spaces 2-Packs. Heck, even in terms of say, the Metallic Rangers, those are all Hasbro Pulse exclusive so it's not like they're taking up store space from other characters.
When it comes to particular suits getting reissued though, I actually feel the unhelemetted heads are mainly to blame. Multiple characters wearing the same suits leads to the weird situation of having to balance budget with demand for a specific character. While yes, people could easily headcanon any given MMPR Pink figure as either Kim or Kat, there are those fans who want the figure to in all ways definitively be one or the other and also don't want to have to say, buy Kim, and then go out and buy Zeo Pink just to have a Kat head. Now, should Hasbro branch out and give us atleast one character from each team that we haven't seen yet? Absolutely. But it's gonna take time. Especially for the less popular seasons and especially since they outright said that Power Rangers in general isn't a huge priority of theirs the same way say, Transformers is. Again, I get the frustrations and confusion, it's just my two cents is all.
