I don't think they ever gave an official explanation for how they went bankrupt, but I think they spread themselves too thin similar to Funko. They were doing action figures, statues, mini figures, busts, etc. from tons of different franchises. On the action figure front, I rarely heard good things about anything other than Marvel Select and to a lesser extent Lord of the Rings, and both those lines moved at a snail's pace. That said, their prices were always very reasonable. They'd sell you a giant 9-10" figure like Juggernaut or Apocalypse for the same $25-30 price as their standard figures. Probably part of why Ad Populum, the company that acquired Diamond Comics immediately shut down the toy division.

I managed a toy store and I can tell you they were horribly mismanaged. Warehouse orders would consistently be filled wrong, damaged in shipping cause their staff had no idea how to pack anything. I'd get orders meant for other stores and they would say just keep it and not bill me for it. Buyers never knew what was in stock. Never kept to release schedules, would cancel items and not inform you. The list goes on and on. It wasn't just one thing, the whole business was fucked up.

because Americans are retarded and can't do anything right it's why there's a massive crisis of faith among the people who believe in traditional family and those that want an open society with no borders
