I support this. Speaking solely for myself here, while the toys were certainly cool, I grew up poor so I never really had many of them, and the inherent lessons and characters presented in shows like Power Rangers stuck with me far more than the toy aspect. Certainly helped that it and alot of shows like it had the lesson about how materialism can't make you happy.
A bit hypocritical for a show that survives on merch to teach, sure, but the lesson is no less true.
