And it makes no sense for any business to continue investing money into a product that's continued to fail numerous times under reasonable distribution methods. Especially when it's abundantly clear that they have numerous properties under their belt that are far more successful than Sentai releases. They'd be better off putting that money towards their Rider, DBZ, Marvel, Sailor Moon, etc., stuff.

They won't know unless they try.

The Samurai 5 pack does not count because that was a SDCC exclusive, was a pack containing 5 figures that had already been out for a few years, so most people that really wanted the characters had already bought them, gave them a metallic paint job, and did not even include the regular red ranger.

Why is everyone so afraid of them just trying to do it? It wouldn't be $500 because that make each figure $100 a piece. Bandai needs to just try it. Come out of their comfort safe zone and test it out. It's not like half the figures in the box are going to require a new mold. Hell, if they did a Kakuranger pack, 4 of the 5 rangers would all have the same body and only a new head. Same goes if they did Abaranger or Gekiranger. I don't see what the harm is in just trying it out once.

Collector's are willing to shell the money out for rangers WHEN THEY CAN GET THE ENTIRE TEAM!! There is no point in just owning one or two rangers to a team.
