Why is there no love for Rory?

Our first post on the Rory Pond Appreciation Blog which asks:
Why is there no Rory figure?

Rory Pond/Williams, Roman, nurse, companion and dier-and-come-back-to-lifer. Is that not enough reason to get him a toy figurine? He may have died/seemed to have died/had very bad luck several times. Some of his bad luck:
  • Turned to dust (Amy's Choice)
  • Blown up in TARDIS (Amy's Choice)
  • Shot by a Silurian, died then erased from time (Cold Blood)
  • Killed Amy (The Pandorica opens)
  • Lived 2000 years as a plastic Roman to guard Amy in the Pandorica (The Big Bang)
  • Blown up and never born (again) when the universe ended (The Big Bang)
  • Stuck on a crashing cruise liner (A Christmas Carol)
  • Zapped by a Silent (The Impossible Astronaut)
  • Shot by Canton (Day of the Moon)
  • Enchanted by a Siren (Curse of the Black Spot)
  • Drowned (Curse of the Black Spot)
  • Stuck in the infinite TARDIS corridors by House (The Doctor's Wife)
  • Apparently aged to death (The Doctor's Wife)
  • Knocked out by Nephew (The Doctor's Wife)
  • Beaten by Amy in darts (The Rebel Flesh)
  • Caught in solar storm (The Rebel Flesh) and knocked out by another
Well, that's a lot and he's survived them all and if that's not enough to get him a figure, here's the good stuff:

  • First to figure out how the TARDIS is bigger on the inside (Vampires of Venice)
  • Risked his life for the Doctor (Cold Blood)
  • Saved Amy from a Cyberman (The Pandorica Opens)
  • IS A ROMAN!!! (The Pandorica Opens, The Big Bang, A Christmas Carol, A Good Man Goes To War)
  • Saved Amy in the Pandorica from various deaths (The Big Bang)
  • Helped the Doctor blow up the 12th Cyber legion (A Good Man Goes To War)
  • Fought against the Headless Monks (A Good Man Goes To War)
  • Is River Song's father
Obviously there's more but too much to list. So, feel free to comment about the outrage of WHY THERE'S NO RORY POND TOY FIGURINE!!!
