I really can't say for sure, but I really think that it's unlikely. Think about all the 80's toylines, every cartoon had a toy line and vise versa but how many of them are still around? GI JOE, Transformers, Marvel, DC, Masters of the Universe, these and a few others were the exceptions and were able to maintain their appeal. You could liken them to some songs or movies which never seem to go out of style. Then on top of that, many of these same lines are currently collected more so by adults than kids{not that kids don't collect them} as kids have moved more the the high tech field i.e. video games, Ipods, and such. So I think that they will eventually be nostalgic for their childhood video games where we are so in love still with our heroes and villains from the past. Course I may be wrong, my daughter just turned eight and while she watches many of the cartoons that go with the toylines mentioned, she seems to only care to collect horse figurines and Disney Princesses/fairies.
