Yeah I know but what was the reason ? I can't seem to find anything online just that they stopped. I ask this because they produced some awesome stuff !!
I got to talk to Jeff Soto at NYCC last year and I asked him about his toy that was supposed to come out from Critterbox, The Walker. here's and excerpt from something Jeff wrote on the KR boards a while ago -
"I don't know but I think Conor IS Critterbox. He is the brains and brawn behind the business and is super f-ing busy. He probably has no less than 2 million things going on in his mind at any one time and I think people have to give him a break. You have to also take into consideration that he's an artist first and a businessman second. He's eccentric. He has ideas and is super creative. " (http://forums.kidrobot.com/vi...)
basically, the way I understand it, Critterbox owner and manager (who I have nothing but respect for) is a perfectionist artist, and not much of a businessman and the company went belly up - just ran out of money.
But man, he made some great toys while he was at it!
