Prospects for Future 4Kids Merchandise?

The-Shredder · 08-18-2016, 06:26 PM

Considering how this twenty year nostalgia cycle works, with the 90s now being in vogue, what are the chances that we will see some appreciation for the 2003 4Kids series in terms of toys and merchandise by the 2020s? I didn't know many people who were a fan of the show back when it was on the air, and it somewhat got the shaft with airing exclusively on Saturday mornings on the FoxBox/4Kids TV for most of its run, and I believe very briefly on Cartoon Network.

So, I have some reservations about seeing enough resurgence in popularity to warrant new merchandise, unless Viacom has something to capitalize from, like how Saban regained the rights to and rereleased the Next Mutation right around when the Nick 2012 show premiered.
