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.
