What the fuck happened to making merch for tv shows like pretty much no main tv shows have waves and waves of merch anymore. Take Doctor Who for instance Toys 'R' Us (RIP) and other toy shops used to look like this in the UK
You could walk into any toy shop independent or chain, and you could be guaranteed to see at least one variant of sonic screwdriver and action figure. Hell, even hardware shops used to sell sonic screwdrivers. But now no toy shops have anything the best you will get is books and apparel in comic book shops that toe the line between official and unofficial. Like look at the official website of the company who has the toy license for doctor who
This is all they have for the supposed rebirth of the series meant to harken back to the glory days of 9th and 10th Doctors (Not even the best Doctors IMO). What the fuck happened to this industry, man.
It's even worse for kids who are now getting into the show, my 6 yr old nephew has started to watch it and his Mum can't find anything to get him for birthdays or Christmas because the only toys left are being sold for hundreds by sad losers on eBay.
Thanks for attending my rant.

Peter Capaldi as Randall Brown in "The Hour"
Kofi | Inprnt | Cara
ref and ramble below the cut
So the best (and only) version of this image I could find was this one. It was pretty tough to work with due to the quality unfortunately. I didn't get quite as much likeness as I wanted, but I chalk that up to the lack of a mop top lol. I also tried to soften his expression slightly but I'm not sure I quite managed it,
