I've always been a fan of cards, even if they're not used as the central gimmick in a show, I think a collectable card game is always a winner for me. I mean, I fully acknowledge I am not the target denomination, and also I don't really play collectable card games, but if I see a packet of cards in the supermarket, even those ones bundled with wafer biscuits or chewing gum, I'll pick them up.

I feel smaller, cheaper toy lines that are a step up from gacha would win me over too, not as a replacement for the big toys for kids, but I absolutely feel that if there was a smaller supplementary toy line—again in the supermarket, because I'm a boring adult—then I would pick it up. This is broadly my problem with merchandise for Transformers and MLP too; I'm old enough to be nostalgic here, and if you put a tiny pony in the same aisle as the soya milk or whatever, I will buy this stuff, but I won't make the effort to go out of my way to hunt things down, and I won't buy absurdly expensive, absurdly huge things, because what use have I for that?
