The ironic thing is is that I don't think they care about toy sales as much as we think they do. They give off the feeling of "making enough money to get by" to me when looking at their products & show. Also, please, anyone who thinks I'm incorrect or knows that I'm wrong in something please let me know because I don't wanna give any misinformation or false ideas & things like that.

Anyone who understands merchandising knows that you not only need to advertise as much as possible, but you have to make your product really shine in a presentable format. For Toku it's a show &/or movie. To sell products you need to have a constant majority of people who will buy it. When people buy items that aren't of necessity like food or clothes the most common reason is that they saw the item that looks appealing &/or being used somewhere & enjoyed what they saw. If people like seeing a specific item due to it's appearancs or due to it being showcased to the best of its ability then they now most likely have a mental/emotional connection to that item that makes them want it. For Toku items to be handled properly they need to be put in important situations in the format. Meaning if the show/movie makes the important situations (characters utilizing said items, plots involving said characters & stories that really express said plots) as good as possible then more people will be inclined to buy them.

I haven't bought things related to Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokémon & Power Rangers in years. And that's because I've fallen out of those franchises. I left because their stories (the presented format meant to feature their merchandise to the fullest) weren't satisfying in the slightest & still aren't to this day. And they won't see another cent from me until the step it up. I pour my money into Kamen Rider now because, while they do make mistakes sometimes, they actually do what needs to be done & do it much more often; tell good stories & plots with good characters that make people wanna buy their merchandise. I can't tell you how much time I've spent & how many lists I've made trying to sort out what I want & don't want from their toylines (mostly because I enjoy what I see so much there that I want everything but I know I shouldn't, so I have to limit & organize it better ^^; ).

And this isn't me trying to dog what's easy to make fun of (Power Rangers) or just say what lots of people already know (Kamen Rider is superior in every single way). It's me trying to understand what Saban Brands, Bandai Of America & whoever works on the Power Rangers show (seriously, outside of credits that don't give anything but a name that never turns up any good browser searches, I can't find any list of people who work on it, company associations or anything no matter how hard I look) don't understand. Yes, major companies do have certain limitations. But I don't think "Make an interesting & respectable piece of fiction!" is one of them. And really, I have no 100% proof or guarantee that their numbers are gonna skyrocket if they do, but I do have lots of confidence in saying that if they made the show better the sales of their merchandise would increase.

That's why I think they don't care about "making more money because they can". Because they aren't realizing that they could have more. I don't know if the reason is ignorance, stupidity or some problem among the suits that we'll most likely never know. Maybe they do know but don't have the proper resources &/or direction? I have no clue. But there is a reason & that reason, whatever it may be, is keeping them from earning as much as they could. Which, in turn, keeps us from enjoying their creations.

I hope I actually made sense with this post & didn't just babble again, bad habit of mine. XD
