Wasn't it as an exclusive, during the tail end of the show?
I could be wrong on all fronts because I wasn't following ToQ news, though.

Yeah, but they still happened. Granted, they were definitely aimed at older audiences.

You could probably get villain toys selling if they were a bit more sleek in design and not just a random monster.

That's still a testament to my statement, though. Villains don't sell, so they made it aimed for an older audience and more difficult to get.

Yes, I guess it would work just fine!

I think that maybe, they may have an evil team kind of thing in the 41st Sentai. Whatever that may be, heh

Matrixbeast · 09-05-2016, 05:58 PM

Anything is possible.
I doubt it, though.

Why? Just out of curiosity.

Villains don't sell well in Japan. It's why you don't see figures of the big bad on toy shelves very often.
So to design a group of villains based on the rangers would be a waste since they couldn't destroy and recycle them as easily as the more monstrous baddies/MOTW.
While they could make toys of them, they wouldn't bring in as big of a profit as the heroes.

Fair point.

On the other hand, they're literally making an episode/short movie for Heart, and they've done so before for Ryouma, Eternal, and Alain when he was still in douche mode. Granted, Alain they likely had plans to turn good from the start, and Eternal was portrayed as a good person, but there is an attempt in past years at least on the Rider side to make money off of the bad guys.
