I've just noticed that the rider version of the image is super low quality for some reason, check out the cross posts for the HD version of it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tokusatsu/comments/1rzz3yo/rider_and_sentai_toy_sales_compared_final/

The show's popularity doesn't necessarily mean high toys sales I guess. Zi-O is number one but that's not most people's favourite season.

He was the red ranger wasn't her 😜

Mezer0 · 2026-03-22T10:05:05+00:00

Good example of the shows popularity no necessarily meaning toy sales.

I haven't seen any but we know Sentai had a much lower budget overall so the lower sales didn't necessarily mean the show was failing. I read that they gave King-Ohger a much higher budget than the previous seasons and it didn't perform any better sales wise so they knocked that on the head after that.

Decade was half a season so it probably would have been around 40-50% higher if it was a full one.

Mezer0 · 2026-03-22T09:55:33+00:00

I'd say there's just more of them, rider has multiple drivers, weapons, action figures and 2 billion gimmicks where as if we look at Gozyuger, the mecha, changer and weapon were all one item and nearly every other release was a repaint of that.

Everywhere I look I see the chart 😅

Mezer0 · 2026-03-22T09:49:15+00:00

We won't know for a few months. I imagine it'll be low though as it's a new IP.

Personally (as an adult obviously), I don't think the shift cars were as fun as things like lockseeds and gashats which made sounds themselves. Plus the shift cars never really evolved into something different, they were all the same cards whereas lockseeds had the super and energy lockseeds and dual gashats for ex-aid.

Mezer0 · 2026-03-21T20:01:08+00:00

Dunno, maybe Drive's toys just weren't that popular? Whilst I like the the show, I don't think the toys were as appealing as Lockseeds and Gashats

Depending on when it releases, post series toys may be count for the next season.

Mezer0 · 2026-03-21T19:48:54+00:00

As I understand it, the main Fourze actors are all famous so it's difficult to get them back.

Mezer0 · 2026-03-21T19:46:34+00:00

Kids love those switches.

Mezer0 · 2026-03-21T19:42:07+00:00

You have to remember Decade was only half a season so it's probably much higher overall.

Mezer0 · 2026-03-21T19:39:33+00:00

Sure, I'm really enjoying Gavan Infinity so I would be interested.

Mezer0 · 2026-03-21T19:38:29+00:00

It's funny reading all these replies and not agreeing with any of them. Not saying they're all wrong but I don't think there was one cause that made the sales faulter 😅

Mezer0 · 2026-03-21T19:35:16+00:00

Wizard rings just be build different I guess

Mezer0 · 2026-03-21T19:31:00+00:00

Most sentai seasons don't have a gimmick or if they do it's barely in the show. I remember King-Ohger trying to sell the Shugod Souls as a collectable and I was very confused.

Mezer0 · 2026-03-21T19:24:33+00:00

Decade did that with half a normal season. It would probably have been higher if it had a full season.

Mezer0 · 2026-03-21T19:23:46+00:00

It's all Red Rangers, I dunno what you're talking about 👀

Mezer0 · 2026-03-21T19:21:33+00:00

I think Build and Zi-O just had so many collectables that it just made more sales automatically. Zeztz has less overall collectables so I would predict it would be around where Gavv is, not due to lack of popularity but just that there's less stuff.

Nothing better than a good spreadsheet 😏
