Toku in general is very niche and is hard to sell on a bigger scale if you ask me. Power Rangers and Godzilla are the ones that I would consider to be main stream Toku seeing that they both have big nostalgia value to them. Everything else is niche and Toku is view as more of a underground pop culture thing. Japanese special effects don't appeal to most people and people laugh at Toku for not having high level of special effects compare to American TV shows and movies.

Ultraman also lack yearly shows. After Mebius, we did have Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle and NEO in 2007-2009 and the Ultraman Zero movies until Ginga in 2013. Kamen Rider and Super Sentai have more yearly shows which are more relevant compare to Ultraman and other Toku Heroes (Metal Heroes, Garo and several others).
