Where are the 90s properties revivals?

I vaguely touched this on an Action Figure Woes. We're back on reviving 80s Stuff and in some cases Early 00s Stuff *cough*MaxSteel*cough* but what we see very little of is the 90s stuff. Thanks to "Super Megaforce" and the Japanese Figures we ARE Seeing Some "vintage" Power Rangers stuff.
But Other than that, NOTHING!! (Though one could argue that the GoT Toys are from a book from the 90s, so stretching it a little bit there.)

Seriously, where are the Gargoyles toys or Street Sharks or... Captain Planet Toys!
Come On! Super Articulated Captain Planet toys would be so freaking Amazing!
Sure, they'd be perfect for a more Limited Line (The Roster is not MOTU Big) and you could Theoretically do it in one year if we follow the MOTUC Model (but slightly scaled down).

12 Monthly Figures:
-Kwame
-Wheeler
-Linka
-Gi
-Ma-Ti
-Dr. Blight
-Looten Plunder
-Duke Nukem
-Sly Sludge
-Verminous Skumm
-Gaia
-Zarm

I know you'll ask: Where is Captain Planet?
He and Captain Pollution are BAFs that are distributed with the ring bearers and "guardian deity".
(alternating a month between Planeteer and Eco Villain means that both will be built evenly)
2 Extra Items:

-Hoggish Greedly and Rigger set: Greedly is the last "Main Villain of the Show. Tossing Rigger in completes the set. (You can't have Zan without Jayna)

-Argos Bleak and MAL. Plunder and Blight need their Sidekicks.

-Subscription Exclusive:
Ted Turner as Captain Planet! Think about it... IT IS the perfect Tribute to Ted Turner, One of the many people who created Captain Planet (not to mention a nod to the insanely Awesome Robot Chicken Sketch.) Besides, it's Mostly a repaint of the Captain Planet Buck, with a Different Head...
I would also toss in a Secret Accessory (a Head)

I picked Captain Planet as an example since we can get a bit more out of shared parts with it, than say, Gargoyles. But yeah, a Super Articulated Gargoyles line would kick so much ass that the Gargoyles would turn to stone while kicking it! Perhaps the only way the company that ends up making these can get more money out of the molds is doing a "Stone Repaint" with color change plastic and sell them as "Awakening Gargoyles" variant. Now THIS show lends itself to a full MOTUC Style treatment. You got the Gargoyles, Xanatos, Elisa, The Pack, the whole Shakespearian folks. (Puck, McBeth, etc.) Then the Goliath Chronicles folks... With Angela being mostly a Demona Repaint. Heck! Even Human Demona lends herself to stretch out the line.
Here's a Pic of Human Demona getting kicked in the boobs by Elisa Maza. Posting it for no reason at all.

Now there is another 90s Toyline that desperately needs a revival...

Polly Pocket for Boys!! aka Mighty Max. Polly is still around, but Max is just a whisper among the other 90s toylines that have not been revisited, like the ones above, or STREET SHARKS!!

It kinda sucks for 90s kids who have been forgotten by toy companies. Which is a bit funny since some have seen my 80s tribute to toys and have wished for something from THEIR decade, but the companies are too busy catering MY Era to notice. Though I have to say, One asked for GI Joe Extreme toys. Here's my reaction to that:

Don't you freaking dare ask about XTREEM! in my presence!
