But yes, for an adult it's obviously almost too "kiddy" to really pull our interest. But that's okay - Power Rangers collectors do not make up even a slight significant portion of the toy sales. You think Transformers was bad at 10% or less a few years ago? Power Rangers is even lower than that CURRENTLY. Last estimate I saw put the collector market at roughly 5% or less for mainline items. So why make something that caters to a demographic that doesn't buy your product anyways?

Dang. I knew collectors didnt make much of a dent in toy sales.. but man, Im suprised that PR has good sales at the moment anyway. The 4 different stores I regularly visit keeps the same stuff most of the time. That might just be my area though. But if collector-wise sales are that low why were they making the Legacy stuff? I mean yes, 20th anniversary and all that but heck the only thing Ive got from that is the Morpher, and that was because of coupons and sales. Again, might just be me though.

EDIT- On raz's findings, so we are getting a Zeo Red? Cool. I might have joked about the figures before but that was the SMF/Gokai guys, if the Zeo and MMPR 4" arent metallic (reason I sold my MMPR Red 4" from this year), Im might pick it up. Has it been confirmed if the 4" comes with keys or not?
