Animegami Cio statue
Added 2023-08-10 22:40:37 +0000 UTCHi all,
I'm hearing from various places that Animegami (the company that was making the 1/10 Cio statue) has shut down and is refusing communication and not processing refunds. This is obviously terrible news - I haven't heard from the company myself in several months which I thought was odd, but this is the first I'm hearing of this.
The people at Animegami that contacted me were very personable and easy to work with, and while they were a small company, they had already cut deals with the likes of Capcom, the Terraria developers, and Junji Ito, so I had no initial qualms about working with them. I apologize for making a bad call here - I didn't even have any information on this until the last day or two, when I heard about it from Reddit of all places!
I have deleted the pre-order post from here (and will shortly be doing it from my site), in the meantime I recommend you reach out. I will try and contact the company directly myself but I can't promise anything. If you are having trouble getting a refund I recommend you look into small claims court or see if there is a class action lawsuit developing.
