Almost every Kamen Rider season during the Heisei era proved to be hit, with many of them being considered some of the best toku of all time, causing Kamen Rider to reach this legendary status ever since Den-O where even if a show is bad for a whole quarter, as long as a portion of the show is good, it's guaranteed to succeed financially. Couple that with Kamen Rider toys being amazing, the belt/trinkets have a lot of interactivity and they would release special editions and figures that would cater to their older market.
Ultraman would make copycat toys of Rider which would prove to be successful alongside making toys for older fans. They also made easy to acces subs early enough for it to matter and while the shows had lower budget for a while, most seasons from the 10s onward have been a visual spectacle causing it still perform well even though it isn't exactly doing gangbusters.
With Super Sentai their toys have been behind their competition ever since the 00s, their mecha just don't have enough playability or articulation when compared to Takara Tomy kodomo IPs, their changers also aren't that interactive as to not overlap with Rider. Pretty much the main reason why Sentai kept selling well for a while was because its legendary status, but when Yokai Watch got a boom cannibalizing the sales of other Bandai properties, Sentai got hit way harder than other franchises because it happened the same year the season before the anniversary season Ninninger aired, which is one of the most hated seasons. This made people have higher expectations for the anniversary show Zyuohger but ultimately the show ended up being really standard and from Kyuranger to Ryusoulger shows ended up mixed bags, so it kept underperforming. They also cannot distribute Super Sentai outside of Japan or make games that release on western platforms such as Steam due to the contract Toei signed with Saban for Power Rangers.
