Dragon Ball Z and Megaman have NOTHING on Power Rangers when it comes to popularity, and yet you're saying that they can get lines that are basically kept alive by American collectors, but fucking POWER RANGERS can't?

Explain this to me, because it is doing my fucking head in.

I think saying there was a zero percent chance was a bit harsh, my point was just that it's very unlikely, at least unless the popularity of these figures significantly picks up in the US. If the line does incredibly well, maybe we'll eventually see something, but that's a long ways off, they're still testing the waters.

I'm not underestimating Power Rangers popularity. But that popularity comes from young kids, not grown fans. We already know that expensive toys don't sell to kids here, this is why we always get far crappier/cheaper versions of the morphers and zords. The adult collector fanbase is rather small, unlike those for DBZ or Transformers, where the older, anime loving crowd is huge and buys all of those collectibles. The amount of Shinken Red's shelf warming can't just be ignored either, it's literally proven that these things won't sell on a mass scale.

There's enough fans to keep them being brought over, which is awesome.. but creating entirely new figures and moulds just to sell to us, is pushing your luck just a bit.
