They have hinted on fb that marvel toys really don’t meet their criteria. These shows are about a toyline that conquers the world by surprise. Starwars was an unknown movie that created a marketing blitz that swept the nation. Star Trek was a crappy b movie level space soap opera that couldn’t get its marketing right until 30 years after it left the air.

Marvel is building on long accepted characters who have always been recognized since the 60’s.

Teenage mutant ninja turtles has a chance to be an episode, because they fit the mold of the show. What started as an adult independent comic that parodied the dark, gritty heroes of the 80’s, was turned into a saccharine-sweet silly kids cartoon and toy line that swept the world.
