I just think this is very odd, especially considering how recent DisneyDirect was added.

    I thought I was going crazy. "Had it been 'DisneyShopping.com' the whole time?" I thought to myself. "I could have sworn it was Disney Direct or something."

    (I knew right where to look to find out the truth)

    And no it has not been a failure. DCP have been very happy with the figures and they will continue to offer the same range of merchandise.
