from what i've read, they stopped supplying to shops during covid, after years of already being a shit distributor, marvel and dc pulled out and stopped using them, all of that meant they basically kept writing checks they couldn't cash as a result, because shops were getting their stock elsewhere and no longer making orders with them at all. diamond select is more or less just a casualty of the overall incompetence of the parent company and them trying to write off parts of it in bankruptcy to keep it afloat long enough for someone else to buy it off

>>11710649
people should be suing the federal, state, and city governments for all the stupid bullshit they tried to enforce through COVID.

Even if it wasn't legally enforceable, businesses were forced to comply with all that bullshit because it was the social thing to do and the fucking government was actively censoring media outlets like youtube to keep the "correct" mindset with everyone else.

There's so many fucking retards out there, hence so many fucking businesses going out of business thanks to COVID restrictions. The ramifications from all that bullshit is still ongoing and we're still finding out all the behind the scenes bullshit that was going on.

Fuck, the New York governor should be put on trial for murder or manslaughter for what he did. Tons of people knew what he was going to do would lead to deaths before he even implemented it.

>>11710649
DC pulled out before the Pandemic. Marvel took longer. But you are correct that they were a piece of shit distributor who relied on having a captive market in the LCS community, and aspects of their business policy, like non-returnable books which is not how paperback and magazine run in bookstores and grocers/pharmacies, etc.
Incompetency is a good way to put it, as this anon put it >>11708797

The parent company went bankrupt; that starved Diamond Select Toys out of cash. The parent company stiffed a lot of their publishers and they stopped providing them with products. So of course, the direct market sellers that bought the DST collectibles also refused to get that crap when they knew orders weren't being filled and they would probably just lose their money - it was an endless, vicious circle at the end.

>Ad Populum, the company that acquired Diamond Comics immediately shut down the toy division.
Ad Populum owns NECA, they now majority own Graceland, which is why Graceland now sells Enesco holiday ornament and other sculpts, and those Department 56 villages (including Harry Potter and other stuff not related to Elvis).
They also own junk brands like Party City.
However, Diamond Select toys had some good licenses and people who liked their products. They've lost some of that (like the Diamond Select Gallary figurine statues) to McFarlane - at least for Marvel Selects, but there's no reason they can't build that and other lines back up.
Ad Populum didn't buy up Diamond for their unpaid bills, but for things like their mailing list, licenses, IPs, etc. Enesco and Department 56 is in Macy's so they could move to get NECA, which as far as I know isn't at the Macy's Toy's R Us locations, but other things, like Iron Giant action figures, LOTR, etc.

The retard is a shill from the WH40k general who constantly makes up contrarian arguments.
You might not recognize him, but his posts are very noticeable and he likes to shitpost in any thread where he thinks i might post in because he wants revenge because i criticized Joytoy for releasing brittle figures and not knowing what scale means.

I'm not sorry for calling him out by his most recognizable actions, because i think everyone should know why he's making contrarian arguments here.

>nobody had any idea Star Wars could do a spoof-y thing, so that was very unclear and confusing

Only because Kennedy has been vehemently anti-spoof wars with Lego Star Wars specials being the sole exception. No more Star Wars dance parties in the parks, no more Jedi Mickey or Darth Mater, Detours was shoved deep into the Disney Vault next to Song of the South, that Pigs in Space YouTube revival wasn't allowed to release some Star Wars based sketches, and Wreck-It Ralph 2 was banned from making jokes about Kylo Ren in its Disney circlejerk sequence.

it looks fine. Until we in hand reviews, it's more than passable. They kept the oversized stitching to a minimum and the simplicity is better than that.

The mortally wounded Autobots from the shuttle massacre started out as a monkey's paw deal towards fans who were pissy that Hasbro wouldn't re release figures who had low production runs. Earth vehicle mode Prowl and Ironhide, an impossible to find release got reissued... But with battle damaged based on their deaths in the RF movie. But it sold out, in spite of fan complaints and it encouraged Has to to make more of these guys with shuttle massacre mortal wounds.

when I saw the Brawn/Ratchet 2-pack in the Target I had to legit stop myself from grabbing the box and hurling it across the store, and then falling to my knees weeping for my fallen friends.

damn that movie for my childhood trauma, and double-damn (triple-damn!) Hasbro for the idiotic idea to make action figures of those moments.
!! FACT !!

seriously, Hasbro? it's like boxing up your dead cat you had growing up. it died, REMEMBER THAT?!! ran over by that car?!!! It's an action figure of your smashed-flat cat!! Cool, right?!!! (sorry to anybody who lost a cat, it was not my intention to bring back that trauma for anybody and " I " truly apologize, I just had to use an equally extreme example of how wrong these figures are!)
