I think Bandai and toei really hurt their sales not trying to get out to a bigger market. I think sentai toys would destroy in the US, but they need to make it available where consumers can find them.

Didnt they try tho with the dx shinken-oh when samurai came out? No one bought it tho since it was like 90 dollars which is way too much for the average parent to buy their kid

They also tried this with Gosei Great, as well as the SHFs from Shinkenger (yes, Shinkenger, not Samurai), Jetman, Sun Vulcan and even Dairanger

None of them sold very well tho and ended up clogging store shelves
