There are not many cartoons made to sell toys that I know of. There is MLP, and .. Star Wars maybe?
And MLP is indeed a quite good show, fans ranging from Miley Cyrus to Gabe Newell.
Also I don't know how is it considered bad if characters are lovable (MLP has 50+ different, but lovable characters by design), or that if objects around her (clothes, mugs, toys, other merch) make her feel good?
For a good 20-30 years most if not all kids shows were planned with toys in mind.
Some, like Transformers, were essentially toys that were given shows.
Even Sesame Street, a PBS (public broadcast) show, still has significant toy tie-ins -- anyone remember the Tickle Me Elmo crazy years ago? My 2 year old has a big-ass plush Cookie Monster.
