Uh......You joking right? Unpopular in Japan?
FMP novels (forgot which, probably MMD) got the year's highest selling back in 2007 or 08. I forgot what the award they got for this.
They got featured in 2 consecutive SRW games.
Models? ARX-8 for Revoltech even when animes aren't shown yet. And others.

Yeah sure, when you compare to stuff like Gundam or *cough* Geass or TTGL *cough* then of course they're not that popular. But the only thing I can tell you that FMP is quite popular. It's just too "specialized" in the robot genre to prevent it to become more popular.
