I feel safe in assuming that there will be feelings of nostalgia for the aforementioned toy-lines. Already, I'm seeing my college students (very young adults) mentioning their favorite toy lines such as Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, Transformers Armada, GI Joe Valor Vs. Venom, etc.
It's funny to hear these lines mentioned in this way, because it feels like just yesterday that I was brushing those pegs aside to get to my 2002 Star Wars Saga figures, Four Horsemen Masters of the Universe and Toy-Biz Marvel Legends.
I'm not so sure that it means those particular incarnations will be resurrected; they'll just stay alive in the forms of new series, movie-versions and maybe even video game versions.
When I think about the lines for which I'm nostalgic (those truly stuck in their time) they are lines like Mantech, Centurions, Power Lords and Inhumanoids. Mostly boardroom toy-concepts that saw a year or two worth of release-time. These won't see re-release, but were solid competitors in their day.
It depends on the consumer-demand, I guess. "Who's making customs of what, and how often?"
