Heroes, typically, just sell better.

Also that Dark JuraGaon would cost, like, a lot? JuraGaon as is costs something like 7,800 yen so that's the price range kids would be looking at, for a robo that isn't even a character and appeared in about three episodes. It's a dark repaint so that helps it, but I dunno; doesn't seem worth the risk

Ahh, okay.

But, here are some things which make these arguments feel a bit weaker. Like how the Karakuri Mantle was released in toy form. Who would want a piece of cloth that was only used once and wasn't even that useful? Also, what about giving ZenKaijuOh's Two Components the compatibility to become Super ZenkaiOh and Super TwokaiOh even though it was used only once and never again? They weren't even given new suits, just CGI models. And it didn't even beat the upgraded Battle Caesar Robo. That required ZenKaijuuOh to finish off the BCR. Anyways, do you remember roleplaying when you were a child? Pretending you were a knight-in-shining armor rescuing your friend from the "dragon" at the top of the playplace, either in the playground at your elementary school or at the McDonalds? Do you remember wearing your Halloween Costume with your friend who just so happened to wear a matching costume? Like you were dressed up as Batman and your friend was dressed up with a Joker (Mark Hamill) costume. And you play-fight.
Plus, Villain Characters, especially in Tokusatsu, have extremely cool designs, sometimes, even cooler than the heroes of those series. So who wouldn't want to pretend they were one of those characters?
