Now this is interesting. Relating to this, a lot of products under Goodsmile (namely Figma), went through terrible QC and/or were delayed several times. One such case, Goodsmile had to put out an actual apology and replacement campaign on their website. Figma Yumi Yotsuya. They also apologized for "planned power outages" in their china factories.

I'm... Not entirely what to think here. There's a lot of ways and positions I can take. One, considering just how absolutely screwy China is over its people, it does make me feel less impatient about things a lot more, now that we know this is a thing happening. On the other, I feel like there's probably a better way of handling this that doesn't involve these mishaps over production.

But, like I said, considering how brutal China is, this is probably the best they could come up with. The idea of a self-sustaining country is pretty neato, but at the cost of outright refusing import prodcuts? Don't seem right. At least in m surface-level understanding.
