Wow, those are really beautiful, D-Nice.

Yeah, I would have liked to have seen a bit more in the way of Foster's stuff myself - other than the Hot Topic range, which came to be increasingly Cheese-centric, there hasn't really been a huge deal on offer. The so-called "mass-marketing" from Mattel which I kept reading about in early 2007 never really happened, and the odd toys I saw pictures of here and there looked a bit disappointing. As to why this should be the case, your guess is as good as mine. Maybe the marketing potential just wasn't realised, or certain complications led to much of it being cancelled. From a strict marketing perspective, it's possible that any particularly extensive further Foster's merchandising would be seen as having missed the boat, given that the show is currently in its final season, although if Foster's is able to maintain a sufficient cult following within the years that follow then, who knows, maybe somebody will pick it up.
