Isn't it a lot more risky trying to depend on toy sales nowadays when it seems kids' addiction to cellphones appears to be this big force that can kill a franchise's toyline in a matter of months?

Maybe it might be better to rely on viewership instead of toys, because you can view the show almost on anything. They could probably get even more money with games too, since there is a big enough playerbase (not just with kids) if the game is good.
