I know there have been other instances of a product not being announced as available at the fest and fans missed out an opportunity to get it autographed. I can't remember the specific instances but I know it's happened so it's not a plot against the 1991 Revival Series.
Honest.
I understand wanting to see more of what you enjoy in this case the 1991 series. It is untrue that the actors are not invited to the Fests. They have attended and I know from my own limited involvement at the fests that the actors don't feel there is enough interest in them to motivate them to attend. It is a reality that there are more fans of the original show than the Revival. Obviously, you cater to the market. It's not a plot.
The Revival series is shown on Chiller but I don't see any substantial influx of new fans into the fandom at least in terms of attending the festivals because of the Revival series. Back when the Revival first aired, it did bring in many new fans which was wonderful.
I'm sorry to see there exists an "Us and Them" in what is already a small fandom and a mentality that there is somehow a plot to play down the Revival series as being an integral part of DS fandom.
