    2 reasons:

    1)Some people hate the idea of KO toys.
    2)Long history of the owner being a complete mental case.

    There's a couple threads kicking around with a lot of history in them.

    Yeah i just read that. And i'm sitting here with probably the best deal i've ever gotten from them in my cart waiting to see if any of my local guys want anything before i hit submit. Say what you will about Mike and Kate and the myriad of problems people have had with their shipping ( i'm in NH and not ONCE have i had an issue) and them, it still stinks. I have a whole area just for interesting KO's and now i'm going to have to hunt big lots and local flea markets for them now....or go to chimungmung.

    Good luck KOTOYS...at least this guy will miss ya.

    yes I had a few good lulz off that while attempting to throw pens into my co-workers eyes.

    I'm just curious now what lies in the future for other companies that "KO" hastak designs :3

    To be fair, a company that deals in KOs is bound to get in trouble. I'm happy they're going out of business, their service was fairly bad and their attitude was horrendously childish.

    Yeah. He also threatened to stab a moderator at Botcon in the eye if he saw him. Can't remember exactly who though.

    Having dealt with them in the past, They have been pretty decent with me, and it will be a bit annoying to find kos for customs but there you go.

    Aren't KOTOYS and CHMS affiliated?

    Everytime I hear about a figure being made by either/or I see the names interchanged.

    Can someone clarify?

    All I know 100% is that CHMS has been linked to another name.
