I think the problem has always been that Sentai collectors don't want just Red's, they want teams. But those people aren't enough in number for Tamashii to actually make a profit. Similarly, those who only want Red's aren't enough either.
Tamashii tried the "Red's at retail, team at Premium Bandai" approach with Sentai, it didn't work when these figures were half the price a Figuart costs today, it won't work now.
Zenkaiser does well in pre-orders because the suit breaks tradition, because it isn't "just" another Red, because the rest of his team are basically the mecha so you can substitute mainline toys, because it is the first Sentai figure in 7 years and the marketing campaign is excellent, because it's an anniversary for Sentai as a whole.
Had they randomly made Kiramai Red last year, I'm not sure he would've done as well.
However, maybe times have changed. Maybe the market is there now. Zenkaiser is the perfect choice to try and resurrect the line IMO, for all the reasons listed above, so now they need to follow it up and see if that works out.
I mean yeah if Bandai is still under the impression that only the Japan audience/fan base matter and keep ignoring Super Sentai's International appeal as a cash flow as well. I mean where's Deka Master that fans have and are still waiting on...they're doing another poll again so are they actually gonna pay attention to the results of that? You might say Zenkaiger or whatever anniversary theme they went with would be the catalyst to bring Sentai figuarts back but I always felt Gokaiger would play a part too which is why I wasn't surprised to see a new Gokai Red.
