DW official merchandise and Rose Tyler

[preserved_ginger]

Is there, does anybody know, a particular reason why the official DW merchandise would seemingly prefer on the whole not to acknowledge either the existence of Rose Tyler, or any effect her character might have had on the Doctor?

I've heard (although with no confirmation) that Billie got kinda freaked out by the little figs and that's why we've not seen any more Rose figures (and are not likely to in the future).

I'm not sure to what else you might be referring.

For some reason, this makes me laugh. I actually feel kinda okay with not being able to get a Rose figure if that's the reason, because it's sort of adorable.

I just see her in a room with the New Earth figure, leaning away from it, going, "God, it's staring at me! It's me, and it's staring at me!"
