Former MGA Entertainment Employee Charged With Stealing Over $1 Million in Diecast Collectibles from Chatsworth Factory - COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES (.gov)

Alliance Entertainment reported strong full-year growth in its sales of collectibles in its most recent fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, reflecting the investment it made in hiring at least seven Diamond Comic Distributors employees in the wake of the company’s bankruptcy filing last year (see “Alliance Hires Seven from Diamond”). While the 45% growth rate in the category was impressive, the scale is still not close to the volume once sold by Diamond; the growth rate produced sales of $32 million for the year. Alliance’s hiring of the Diamond employees puts it in a good position to capture sales formerly made by Diamond, but it’s competing with Ad Populum company Sparkle Pop LLC, which acquired the Diamond Select and comic and merch distribution assets of Diamond and is operating as Diamond Select Brands in conjunction with Ad Populum wholesaler Enesco.  Other companies in the space include Entertainment Earth; and Universal Distribution, which bought Diamond’s game distributor Alliance Game Distributors and added the merch lines it had been carrying in Canada to its U. S. lines (see "Insider Talks: Angelo Exarhakos").
