Unfortunately, Jake, and so many other characters, are overlooked because they originate from television. In Disney, most television characters appear in very little to no merchandise. After the show is over, the character will eventually fade away from the public. Bottom line: with Disney, you usually have to come from a short or film to become a traditional character like Mickey, Ariel, Peter Pan etc.
