QRD:
>The company has been behind on fulfilling merch orders because they are busy moving to a new warehouse that will double as a storefront for a physical location where you can come in and buy merch
>Except instead of new goods you will be buying damaged and incomplete products at a discount that weren't good enough to be sent to people who made pre-orders for them
>They finally finished Filian's idol figurine meant to commemorate the 2023 VTuber Awards (the 2025 awards are happening in a few months)
>They have Fream doing the packaging design for the company, my guess is because it's either cheaper to have one of their talents do it and/or they can't find anyone else to work with them
>They have so many projects that are dead in the water with no ETA that they've come up with a specific name for them: "Projects in Distress"
>The projects in this category INCLUDE the demon Sinder, VShojo Henya, and VShojo Froot, but who knows how many figures are actually on the backburner with no idea on how to fulfil them
>And while they're unable to fulfil their current pre-orders, they've decided to start selling regular merch as well, the usual VTuber-themed knickknacks you see in other places
