I'd agree there shouldn't be a sequel, at least not with any returning characters. Jake's story is done, as far as I'm concerned, and any attempt to return to it will only come off as a retread. The story itself was cliche enough (though there were a few twists to it here and there).

As for the toy line, I never really had any desire to own the toys. There are some movies I walk out of thinking "I want toys of this and that and that other thing." ROTF is a good example. After seeing the twins on-screen, I've been collecting every toy version of them that I can. Before seeing the movie, I wasn't sure if I even wanted to bother picking up the 2 deluxe versions, let alone anything else.

Avatar was the opposite. Every time I looked at the toys, even once they were on clearance, I still thought "Meh" and looked at all the TF's, Joes, MU and IM2 toys I wanted.

Should a sequel become a reality, I hope the new figures for that film are drastically improved and have an appeal beyond being plastic versions of plastic characters.
