Why no toys of Discord or King Sombra?

I think to begin with King Sombra isn't too popular so there may not be too many that would buy him. But regarding Discord the reason is simply that it's a little difficult to make him and their best chance would be to make a high quality statue of him which is something most bronies would buy but I doubt the targeted demographic would. I think the main reason is just because it's a bit difficult making a good one which is why they would rather have to make a statue and I guess in the end they just don't see it as something that they could make profit on, so I guess they'll allow Funko or some other company create a Discord toy.

Perhaps what is being done is a stronger marketing push to have Discord be more viable as a toy for the demographic because of the surge of use of the character in season 4. Have him be more popular. He even has his own song now even before Rainbow Dash. I can't say that they will make toys of the character because of this but it's a thought.

That's partially what I meant (The "brushable dolls" thing was a joke.): even if Hasbro doesn't, why not Funko or someone else?
