The difference in preference between genders is present, but likely only because of societal factors, with studies suggesting that young boys and girls enjoy a spectrum of toys when presented without prejudice by their parents.

The sad thing is, a Sentai where female members outnumbered male would probably perform worse, but only for the above reason. Hell, I never watched The Little Mermaid as a child for the simple reason that, with a female character front and centre on the video box, I surmised that it wasn't FOR me...

...Or you know most young boys identify with and want to be the male heroes.

Plus there is literally decades of market research to support that with young boys male toys sell better.
