IDK if anyone's said anything similar yet but I think the reason Toei have barely done anything with Sailor Moon compared to franchises like Pretty Cure and Ojamajo Doremi is that the latter are in-house properties and the former is an adaptation of material outside of their hands.
I don't know exactly why they've done fuck all with SM recently but I imagine there's some rights issues or something (and also something something misogyny about shoujo not selling compared to stuff marketed to male demographics IDK)
Wow, that honestly makes a LOT of sense. I'm assuming Naoko Takeuchi still holds a lot of power over Sailor Moon (as she should, it's her baby after all) and so Toei is more willing to focus on the properties they have total control over.
This would definitely explain why Precure gets so much attention compared to Sailor Moon; not only is it more recent/profitable, Toei doesn't have to deal with negotiations because everything is in-house.

This guy is awesome looking, but I have no idea who he is or what series he's from.
Anyone wanna help a brain-addled, memory deficient old guy out?
ADDENDUM:
Thanks to @dlight98 for informing us that this guy is called Dinosaur Evo, a kaiju from episode 17 of Kagaku Sentai Dynaman.
I have to admit, I've only seen the six episodes of this series shown on USA Network's Night Flight waaaaaaaaay back when, called Dynaman. They were dubbed parodies in the tradition of Woody Allen's What's Up, Tiger Lily? (1966), and pretty durn funny.
