The problem with Annie is that she was a licensed character and those cost $$$. We used to be able to buy tons of stuff with imitation Annie on it - t shirts, water bottles etc - but I know way back in the mid 90s, Annie started going away from what we could find at the Greek store and the ladybugs started popping up.
But hey hmmm, I just found this in Wikipedia.
While Simon & Schuster and Hasbro claim to own trademarks to the Raggedy Ann and/or Raggedy Ann and Andy names, the original 1915 doll design and 1918 and 1920 books are in the public domain, their copyright having expired. Books and films published after 1950 are protected by copyright.
