Covid's definitely had some effect, but...

A) This started with Lupat -- a couple years before Covid was even a thing
B) Kamen Rider Zero-One and Ultraman Z performed extraordinarily well, better in fact than most recent years - and they were on during Covid at the same time as Kiramager

So it's really hard to say if Covid really has much of a part, here -- there's an argument to be made that it could in fact have increased toy sales, as parents buy stuff for their kids to do while stuck indoors. These toys will also be stocked at the same supermarkets people still need to go to for food, as well.
