Case in point - Power Rangers toys aren't as popular and successful as we'd all like them to believe, and thus Bandai is hamstrung by retailers on their choices and options, and because MMPR sells so well retailers want more and more MMPR and less and less non-MMPR.

What was the original figure proposed for the Psycho Rangers?

I feel the reason MMPR sells isn't just because of the nostalgia factor, its because Saban is acting like MMPR is the only thing worth pushing! Personally, I think he is pushing it and inflating the market, intentionally or unintentionally, cause of the love people have for MMPR and the belief that the only way the PR culture can survive is if you double-down on how much MMPR is out there!
