>No unmasked heads
Maybe not, but I wouldn't put it past Playmates to do fully unmorphed Rangers. Something no other company has been willing to do.

>No villains outside of Zed and Goldar if we are lucky
Have you never seen a Playmates TMNT toyline? Playmates makes tons of villains. And not just main villains, but random one-off monsters and such.

>Too much focus on Zords
Doubt it. Outside of Voltron, Playmates isn't exactly known for that sort of thing, and even their Voltron offerings were pretty minimal.

>we'll be lucky if we get Zeo and In Space, as far as no SPD, no Dini Thunder, no other team but MMPR.
I'd argue Playmates has a greater potential to do more teams and deeper cuts because the price will be lower. The Lightning Collection started at $20 and ended at $25. That's a $120 for a full team at the start of the line, and $150 at the end. At that price you're not gonna get a lot of people going all in, most will just pick and choose their favorite teams or characters. Even Zeo and In Space (the most popular non-MMPR teams) struggled with peg warmers in the Lightning Collection.

If the Playmates line is more like the older mainline Bandai America figures, and in the $12 range, I think the line will perform very well and have a long life spanning many teams. At that price people will be much more likely to buy deeper cut villains and complete teams. I could also see Playmates offering team boxsets for $60 for less popular teams who might struggle to sell individually.

Also keep in mind that Playmates likes making vehicles, and MMPR doesn't have much in that department compared to other seasons. So that's another reason to think the line won't be limited to MMPR forever.
