>>8234349>raises capital to produce toyline>uses capital to produce toyline>no more capital left to stay afloat because toyline didn't sellI don't think you understand how a business works.
A lot of companies are able to stay afloat with just one hit. Go see how Playmates does this.
>>8234351and this is a classic example. Diamond uses their Marvel and other popular licenses to fund stuff like those Muppets, but where does it end up?
SDCC EXCLUSIVE shit to increase the price to make their money back on the last few molds sold because they didn't sell at retail.
They can make about 5,000-15,000 to make their money back and then some. Already said this shit back here
>>8234211They wouldn't have bought the license if they only thought they were only going to produce that many units though. Just like every US collector company that /toy/ follows.
But obviously, you guys know better than all these companies avoiding classic comedians and even modern comedians, because it doesn't sell what would be needed to make it worth their while.
You know what does sell though? Cheapshit that's cheap to produce and they don't have to sell a lot to make a nice profit. right up the mainstream alley too, to maximize them sales than manchildren could neve rcome close to getting.
