Anyone remember Exclusive Premiere toy company?

Does anyone know why they went out of business? (I know the short answer is that they didn't make enough money but does anyone know more?) They really did have an impressive range of licenses.

My guess would be too much too quick, plus the death of the collector market at that time (everything was "collectible" which ultimately exhausted people and exclusives everywhere caused a market crash), with a dash of many retailers closing up shop or stopped ordering toys.

Yeah, I still have Matt Dillon, as well as the Lone Ranger and Tonto, which came as a two-pack. The likeness of James Arness was actually really good, but it was kind of weak his gun was sculpted into the holster.

Cool, James Arness, you're one step closer to have a custom Thing from another World!

I've seen their Lone Ranger set online, it looks nice.

They are great customs fodder given how cheap you can find many of them.

Not sure who decided where to sell what but EP figures were in the most unlikely places in ToysRus.

I remember seeing Grease and Brady Bunch figures in the baby section.

Honeymooners figures were in the girl's section.

Maxwell Smart and James Bond were sandwiched in between the (then popular) Spawn McFarlane figures.

No wonder they didn't sell what they had hoped.

I got all of the B5 figures, I liked them but didn't like the feel of the clothing.

Nice pictures! Very good likenesses to the actors on those figures.
