I'm confused at how this franchise keeps getting sequels when other more deserving series don't, but ah hell it's one of my guilty pleasure series so I'm not complaining. :? 8-)

Figurines and other related products definetly play a role in providing financial support in my opinion. All I've had to do is go over to my friend's house a lot recently and see that 80% of his figurines are Ikki Tosen. On top of that 90% of his Ikki Tosen figurines are Kanu Uncho Shocked And pretty steamy, mind you.

Psycho: There's no problem, we just get it in a lot more variety this time around Wink

I have the one I'm sure you're talking about and most of the Ikki Tousen ones your friend had too lol. Kanu and Ryomo being my favorite. I even have some resin kits that will eventually sent to me and then built from the show too.
