Apparently they are going to start producing Digimon Toys again.
"LOS ANGELES—Firefly Brand Management has been named licensing agent in North America for the animated television franchise Digimon, producer Toei Animation said today.
Firefly will be responsible for merchandise licensing sales for the first five seasons of the series, a long-running hit in Japan that briefly flowered in the U.S. during the early 2000s."
One thing I disagree with is the 'brief flowering' of the series in the US. In all fairness, the first 3 seasons were pretty popular and the 4th was watched, it was Japan that waited like 5 years before adding a fifth season.
BTW, I know they released the first 4 seasons of Digimon on DVD, but are those still available of have they stopped producing them? I've seen season 5 in Walmart, but on Amazon the earlier seasons are pretty pricey, as that happens when DVDs go out of printing.
