Firstly... "the ones who buy the toys are the ones who decide how that franchise goes" No, they have focus groups for that sort of thing. Consumers in a toy-based market have little dictation over that market's direction because the market is constantly shifting. Target demographics can like one thing one minute and a different thing the next.

Secondly, if any industry (toy-based or otherwise) allows itself to be run in accordance with the entitlement of fans, it would never make a profit because not everyone's demands are the same. Companies do not answer to the flighty whims of their fans/consumer base. A thousand people could want human Starlight. Ten thousand could. A hundred thousand could. It would not make a difference.
