Here's why:
* Popularity of the series: The Percy Jackson books and the upcoming series have a huge fanbase, making it a commercially viable market for merchandise.
* Success of other adaptations: Other popular fantasy series, like "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings," have thriving action figure markets.
* Disney's merchandising strategy: Disney is known for its extensive merchandising for its franchises, so it's likely they would explore action figures for a successful show like Percy Jackson.
However, there are also some factors to consider:
* Timing: The series is still in its early stages, and action figures might not be released until later in its run, especially if it's a success.
* Licensing: Disney might need to secure licensing agreements with the appropriate toy companies before producing action figures.
So, while there are no confirmed plans for Percy Jackson action figures yet, the chances are pretty good that they might be released sometime in the future. Keep an eye out for official announcements!
