Chronicle Collectibles
Chronicle LLC, branded and marketed as as Chronicle Collectibles, was a privately-held American collectibles company that was incorporated in Irving, Texas in 2013. The company manufactured a wide range of licensed products from a number of different "genre" entertainment franchises.
Bankruptcy
On 4 September 2020, the company sent an email to customers, asserting that its recent social media blackout was due to difficulties brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting cutbacks to its staff, and its serious problems with production and distribution. [1]
In late 2020, a number of Chronicle's customers received cancellation notices for their orders, and some received refunds. [2] On 2 October 2020, the company's law firm published a letter indicating that Chronicle was having financial problems. [3] On 10 November 2020, a follow-up letter announced that the company would pursue bankruptcy in the near future. [4]
Only a small number of licensed Star Trek products were actually released by Chronicle.

Busts and figurines
Beginning in 2020, the company planned to retail polyresin busts of Starfleet captains and polystone figurines based on the Star Trek Cats illustrated book and calendar series.
