I think Playback was similarly moving unsold stock, at least for the most part, as the selection was quite random. For instance no deluxe season 1 Zords, but the intermediate Megazord that always seemed to warm shelves even in MMPR's heyday. It was also planned for Playback to release toys through Turbo, so it wasn't just supposed to be MMPR felating. I don't know if the sales or ratings were bad, but the Playback airings ended prematurely after The Mutiny, so the Zeo and Turbo toys never saw release in the Playback line.
Heroes were just cheap re-releases for KB Toys, and it started as the sixth Rangers from MMPR through Turbo before cycling through the seasons all the way until Dino Thunder. After a year hiatus the line was rebranded as Super Legends for Mystic Force before ending for good.
So yes, some MMPR toys were sold between 95 and 2006, but not a single new MMPR toy was produced during that time, just unsold stock and re-releases, and this wasn't even a uniquely MMPR thing. Not only in the case of Heroes, but Bandai would randomly re-release toys from other seasons within their season lines. Sometimes they would even redeco toys from other seasons, so it wasn't always a case of clearing out old stock, but Bandai trying to maximize profits from their existing molds.
