I'm asking due to this question:
When were replicas of Green Lantern's Power Battery and Power Ring first produced?
Is it considered on-topic to ask merchandising questions about an on-topic work?

1@Radhil - You make an excellent point about posters and artwork. Generally, though, questions about posters and artwork are more about character identification or behind-the-scenes/production information which are definitely less of a gray area.– TheIronCheekCommented Jun 9, 2017 at 15:01

It just feels a little strange to identify questions about the production timeline of toys, statues, t-shirts, commemorative plates, branded napkins, etc. as questions about sci-fi. It feels like it belongs more on a toy forum or a non-existent memorabilia.stackexchange.com.– TheIronCheekCommented Jun 9, 2017 at 15:03

Good examples of well-received questions include
