One hit manufacturer

I have noticed one manufacturer that sort of made a landing, especially in the number of reviews, but have since steadily died down in interest. ALOIA. Whatever happened to this manufacturer, who was hot just about one year ago, and now, it seems all of them have either been unloaded or presently being unloaded. Were its products overhyped or was the market not ready for a really, truly avantgarde design. Another manufacturer I can think fits in the category is Kora. Are there other manufacturers that would fit in this category. True one hit wonders or were they never meant to be.
