I don't understand why this "company" is still in business.
Does anyone buy anything from dst these days? |

Diamond select is a small part of their business. They are a distributer for comics, cards, model kits, trinkets and other collectables. One of the biggest in the US. Last edited by T0ySick; 01-01-2023 at 07:02 PM.. |

I'm not talking about their distribution deals or the ill-advised merger with gentle giant. I am referring to the actual products that dst produces, which are crap. Coupled with their ineptitude with licenses and cancelling highly anticipated items, I don't see how that side of things can still exist. Or deserve to exist for that matter.

With them being part of Diamond comics distribution (the Geppi empire) and in practically every comics store and smaller toy stores, its kind of obvious why they're still in business and who's buying them...mostly casuals, who just want some kind of 3d representation of a character they like for themselves, for their kids or as gifts. And aren't particularly concerned with likeness, sculpt quality or articulation,etc. Stuff the hardcore collector types tend to be hyper critical about.

Or those that are critical about a "company" teasing "upcoming" items literally for YEARS and cancelling them. They just don't deserve to be highlighted on Toyark IMO.

I don't know, there are a lot of casual viewers who frequent the site's front page, and it's not like Toyark has ever been just about the high end collectibles and is above featuring any of the "cheap crap".
