Well, there's the novels (they're not published by FASA but by ROC Books,
owned by Penguin), T-shirts, and embroidered shirts, hats, sweatshirts,
and jackets. Not to mention the 25 mm figures, although of course they're
aimed at roleplayers, not the general public. (Come to think of it, who
but SR players buys SR novels anyway?)

No and no on both counts. I've seen the BattleTech show (only because I
wanted to see what they'd made of it) and it sucks! An SR cartoon would be
along the same lines as all the other cartoons: good guys (the runners)
vs. the bad guys (the corps, Humanis members, etc.) without anyone getting
killed or wounded or whatever, because hey, it's a kids' show isn't it? I
don't want to see any SR show unless it's a *serious* attempt to
(re)create the sixth world.
