Sorry to be blunt but Sam has run his course. He was created to be sold solely as a toy in the Wooden Railway line with a storybook about him.
I'm not sure what I'd expect, but Tomy making a Plarail Merlin is the only certainly I have. I feel like Lexi could be made as well since she would attract more interest in a toy than Frankie or Hurricane. A Ringing in Tekoro engine of a new character could be likely since that range has been growing.
Whilst he wasn't particularly marketed here and knowing how the Japanese marketing acknowledges almost all characters, Beresford could happen. I could see either a set with him build in as part of the destination with some cargo functions, or something on a small scale like how Owen was included in a rail map. Otherwise I could see a wagons pack based on something entirely other than the movie.
