Oniri Creations in Liquidation

[God]

I’m glad to hear that they’re back on their feet in some form. I hope that all of the impacted collectors will have a resolution soon.

Sadly, it does not bode well for statue companies in general moving forward. Prices have reached a tipping point with too many fans, statues have virtually no resellability, there aren't enough new fans joining to replace those leaving, licenses are too expensive, people are running out of display space, shipping prices are huge, and perhaps most importantly, there are far too many options available so there's no urgency to buy. Many people just wait for sales or buy in the aftermarket at a vast discount. The cost/enjoyment ratio is too off balance too. Would you want to invest in a statue company right now? Probably not. Harsh reality setting in, and it isn't pretty.

Only thing you forgot which is REALLY the crux of all this:

Too many "statue companies"

Takes more than renting a couple artists, paying for a 3D print, scheduling a little factory time, and some social media posts to make a legitimate company.


EDIT: Oh and TOO MANY desperate customers unwilling to recognize the difference.

Dear Community,

We would like to inform you of the recent progress regarding the acquisition of Oniri Creations. We have made significant progress with the rights holders, and the finalization of the legal and financial aspects is underway. The rights holders are cooperative and pleased with our efforts to save the projects.

We have also been working on a new visual identity for Oniri Creations, which will be unveiled in the coming weeks.

Starting next week, we will begin communicating with stores and other industry professionals. Until now, we had not yet communicated with them because we preferred to wait until the information was reliable and the legal structure was in place. Given the many expectations and the attacks we have faced, we want to be cautious about what we communicate. We receive a lot of thanks but also some hostility, as the subject is sensitive.

Regarding production dates, we hope to provide you with precise factory departure dates for certain figurines by the end of the month. Thanks to the contacts obtained since our live, we have found logistics partners offering more advantageous proposals for maritime transport.

We commit to communicating with you every two to three weeks, or as soon as we have important information to share. To reassure our customers, we have already organized lives in French and English in collaboration with influencers Virtual Devil JP Sarri Reviews. We invite everyone who has not seen them to watch them via the following links:

In French: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRodOD96He4
In English: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INU3_i5RHpc

We are currently recruiting for various positions, including a community manager.

Key Points to Retain from this Communication:
Production Dates:
We hope to provide you with precise factory departure dates for certain figurines by the end of the month.

Logistics Partners:
We have found logistics partners offering more advantageous proposals for maritime transport.

Managing Outstanding Balances:
For customers who have partially paid for their orders and still wish to receive their figurines, we will contact them once we have the figurines in our possession to finalize the payment.
We thank you for your continued support and patience. We are doing everything we can to ensure that the figurines are produced and delivered as soon as possible.
