>>10971221One big problem is Bandai deviated from the tried and true manner of releasing Power Rangers toys. Instead of a standard transforming Megazord for about $35, they released larger scale Zords individually. The T-Rex alone was $40, and the others were $20. That's $120 if you bought them all at MSRP. Toys R Us had an exclusive box set for less, but it was still $100, almost triple the cost of a standard Megazord. I remember going to my local Toys R Us on it's final day to see what they had left, and there was a literal mountain of those T-Rex zords.
The 2017 movie Legacy figures also sold horribly, I remember those lingering as well until the bitter end. And while that was a deviation Bandai made before the film, it wasn't in their best interest to release a 5" and 6.5" line of the same suits at the same time. Their yearly toylines weren't doing that, so I don't know why they thought the demand for movie figures would be high enough to warrant two scales simultaneously, and that's not including the additional gimmick figures they made. If the 2017 movie toyline stuck to the tried and true 5" figures, $35 Megazord, and some role play toys, it would have performed a lot better, even if the designs were shit and the movie bombed.
