Maybe if Kiramager has successful merchandise sales, they might reconsider.



Agreed. All the best episodes of Ghost were written by Mouri. I don't think Fukuda even knew what he was doing.



Gosh, I hope not, that would be worst case scenario for me, especially if his incompetent sidekick Haganeya Jin is on the staff as well. I might have to skip it after 2 episodes if that happens.

Goseiger is like kiva in psuedo gimmick. Gokaiger and decade are the true gimmick heavy gimmick starter of the last decade.
Gokaiger yes
Gobuster no
Kyoryuger yes
Toqger no(the mecha are the changer, which is the gimmick and it had legendary collectible , but it's not a toy heavy season.
Ninninger yes
Zyuohger no
Kyuranger yes
LupinrangerXPat no
Ryusolger yes
Kiramager no ol
yes, every other year. If you tally up the cost of each odd year and even year you'll see a huge different in cost. Maybe no gimmick isn't the right word of choice. Sentai always does one year toy heavy that rely gimmicks collectible to activate more lights and sounds either in the changer or the mecha. Then the consecutive year they tone it down. If gobuster performed well, then I could see toei ditching the spandex and heavy axuilary in favor of more advance transformation and articulation . Now we're getting bricks after bricks even ryusolger the main mecha look like it can pose a lot, but it didnt . Eevn in the show it give up what we saw in eps1 with all running acrobats like dairanger Early episodes.

Decade, w, o, fourze, wizard, gaim, driver, ghost, exaid, build, zio, 01 all have gimmicks every year without fail.
