During this time, Toho had abandoned the idea of a giant hero, therefore being no need for Toho film monsters. I suppose they could have used human-sized versions, but that would just look weird.

This whole abandonment of Kyodai Heroes lasted for quite some time with shows such as Diamond Eye and Bankids. They did make Megaloman, but more human-sized heroes came after. So, really we haven't had a Kyodai Hero series since 1979. The closest we got was the Super Star God series where the heroes would pilot giant mechs to fight the monsters. But other than that, nothing.
