Every place online I've tried to talk about SF toys, I get some asshole telling me that non-SF2 characters killed the line and they won't support it unless they're getting their OG12.
The other problem is most fighting game fans don't care about non-game stuff. Try talking about fighting game products (toys, statues, OSTs, comics/manga, etc.) on FGC Twitter, Discord, r/Kappa or even /fgg/ and you'll be laughed out the room. They'll do that if you try to talk about lore. To them, the only things that matter are tier lists, buffs/nerfs, and tourny results.
We're just too small to move the needle.
