The question that would hung any fans of the show for years is why, and why they haven't any official merchandising featuring the characters at all.
It also puzzled of the way the Disney company have no problems to made toys, board games, plushies, storybooks, videogames, anything else that may churn out to make a profit. They proved well for years by their movies, Princess line (Why it exists?) and even so, to have its part of ownership of the Winnie the Pooh character while the one from the original books fallen to Public Domain early that year.
But for most of the Disney TV shows, it's a dealbreaker that made us thinking they don't care much of their TV property, no matter how much online fans gains support by years of fanfictions and fanart. For Disney (Not Walt), their TV cartoons outfit are not well-perceived for any sort of merchandising, unless if there is a good reason to advertize them.
The picture seen above at right is from the episode Blind Ambition, a sort of clever nod to the real-life of Start-ups long before everyone and its dog have one. I'm will watch this episode later this week and giving my own critique of it. Even the Infomercial spoof is casually well done, even years after the home-shopping TV business has ran out of gas.
If there will have any true and legit Brandy & Mr. Whiskers merch, even at figurines, I will paid my hard-earned cash, at least to get something that shows its value to countless fans of the show worldwide, but even praised Disney Channel animated shows like The Proud Family, Kim Possible and even so, Phineas and Ferb have fewer existed on consumming products. Even by its late reboot, the former Proud Family even getting the Home Video Box-set treatment as the way The Weekenders does years before. To me, The Weekenders were the same "Hip Kids doing cool things" formula that were torn to death.
Because Brandy & Mr. Whiskers was first, a refreshing change on the studio's mentality of the "Teens and High-School" genre. Even by its flaws (I'm gonna explain it later in the upcoming year), it was fresh, inventive and most of all, was hysterical and hilarious. Two qualities that have elude most of the movies and shows from my own adolescence. But they never having any merch at all. Not even on videogames!
That would be only nice if Disney released a Home Video Box-Set of the entire series for its 20th birthday next year. But by the way the Home Video formats become obsolete and that our way to consuming have changing on the past decade, Disney would never bear to make it, unless if there is a good and visible reason to releasing them to general release. But I know Disney is too busy to respond of the die-hard fans demands and have no way to release any of their TV shows if they're available on Disney+ already (And let me repeat again: I wouldn't paid for a streaming platform just for the show I could watch legally while I can find it at easily online and for free.).
