Averaging every season's viewers gives it about a 2.7 million viewer average over its 10 year run and the average has wavered at best but shows signs of dropping, while admirable this is not exactly monumental. When Firefly was cancelled it averaged 4.7 million viewers, unrelated but Arrested Development (a semi-cult followed show, hey it had enough followers to bring it back from cancellation) has what is considered a large cult following (practically non-cult anymore) with 6.2 million average viewers, so Supernatural's following is present but even by cult following standards it's on the lighter side of things especially for something that airs on basic cable. So while a show like Game of Thrones (which now nets in around 18 million viewers average) was an obvious choice for merchandising, even Firefly (with its modest 4.7 million viewers) was a gamble, but Supernatural would be a big potential risk and even one series of toys could be seen as too unstable. I'm not saying that I'm opposed to the idea or that it would be a certain financial risk but looking at it from a market point of view, the base just isn't there. Maybe if they made it one wave only and pushed it heavily onto a store like Hot Topic it would have a chance but as is even one wave of six figures would be a miracle (also who knows what scale Funko would put it in, they've made GoT in 6" scale but then their MtG figures are in a 7" scale) but then again this is Funko and they made a wave of figures for that movie the Book of Life and that thing has little to no base which is why my local Hastings still has all of those things, so maybe Supernatural isn't as far out there as I think.
