And you'd be 100% wrong. Zyuranger was wildly popular in Japan during it's prime and is still fondly remembered. It revolutionized sentai, the team suit designs, the mecha, the monsters, everything was improved upon for that show. Toei wanted to breathe new life into Super Sentai and it was very successful. Trust me, the fate of Zyuranger figuarts did not solely rest on the US market, it's a factor, but it is not the only one. It helps that these releases coincide with the US anniversary but they most certainly would have happened in Japan regardless.
