Power Rangers the Number One Selling Action Figure Brand in UK

under Power Rangers

The Power Rangers Movie may have floundered at the box office and with it the hopes of a sequel possibly being dead in the water, but at least in the United Kingdom the Power Rangers brand is swimming strong. According to a new report from the NPD Group, the Power Rangers brand in the UK has seen sales increases of 122.8% for the year and, in April, 185.9% increase from April 2016 numbers.

As of now there are no numbers for how the brand is performing in the United States, however with strong competition from other very popular brands here in the United States (such as Transformers, Marvel Legends, and Star Wars) it is likely that Power Rangers does not rank quite as high domestically. As always, when that information is released, we will report it.

This information is from ToysNews-Online.biz. Other sites are neglecting to report the fact that these numbers are strictly for the UK, leading to a lot of celebration from fans and Power Rangers alumni alike.

    Yeah, this should secure a sequel. It was always going to be as much about toy sales as box office.

    If Thundercats taught me anything, it's that toy sales have a big hand in making or breaking the entire franchise. I feel good about this.

    I can believe this. If anything Power Rangers certainly feels a lot more accessible than most Transformers or Marvel Legends do here.

    They're affordable for what they are compared to Star Wars or Transformers. I just hope this means we'll start getting the Legacy 6.5" figures over here. Can't afford ebay prices for those anymore!

    Yep, places like Smyths have almost entire aisles devoted to the latest Power Rangers series, and while Marvel is obviously still a big seller here, there's rarely much Marvel Legends or Black Series stuff, you really have to look online if you're interested in that stuff, so I'm not surprised to hear Power Rangers is doing so well here.

    That's more due to CN's being this: your toy line isn't number one in sales your SOL for a new season. SOOOOOOO many shows on Cartoon Network get axed because their toys don't sell well or they can't secure merchandising in the first place; that's what killed Green Lantern TAS.
