Pluto Memorabilia New Collector Craze?

This article thinks that Pluto is going to be a new collectors craze now that it has been demoted to dwarf planet status:

Time will tell how strong the market for Pluto products really is and
much of it depends on whether the public embraces the astronomers' resolution or
decides to keep Pluto a planet, at least culturally.


If the demotion sticks though, Pluto also runs the risk of being
lost among the hundreds of dwarfs that are sure to follow its
reclassification.


Whatever may be, the hot toy this Christmas may just be a
polystyrene solar system kit, Pluto not included.


This Pluto controversy sure has resonated through the blogosphere though. Checking Technorati you can tell that some people have some real strong opinions on this thing.
