As awful as it is that so many people are out of the job, and were likely lower level workers with the least responsibility, I have a hard time mustering a tear for DCC/DCD.

I agree with cjflan32, "good riddance" is about right, the company has been a shitshow for years. The BTAS line was the final straw for me. That line should've been easy, yet the first wave of figures fucking disintegrated in hand and they couldn't figure out simple things like how to articulate figures or hide pins for joints. Eventually it became a ratrace of buying the newest update of whatever figure, hoping they wouldn't be shit and forcing yourself to accept the utterly amateur quality and engineering. How many Batmen did they do and still never got the face right? It's like there hasn't been decades of toy design to show them how its done, they can't even make 90 degree elbow and knee bends. What could've been a legendary line that fans were dying for years for turned out into a mess of missed opportunities and shear incompetance.

And that's just the one line I had the most interest in. They were out of touch with the fans and out of touch with the market. I'm honestly surprised they lasted this long given how downright anti-consumer they sometimes seemed.
