We really have a problem of not being able to move past 'franchises' in the West don't we?
I mean in Asia they make new characters every week, they just merchandise off a successful series. I can still get merch off series like Stein's Gate and FMA Brotherhood and they'll not be in a bargin bin or in this case, landfill because people still have a good, positive impression off that series decades on from it finishing.
Yep. They can release new merch of a 10 year old anime. As long as good quality and price is right, itll sell. Meanwhile.. all the dc, marvel, disney crap goes to clearance or bargin bin.
