Surely you’re not equating large, well-established multi-national companies like Hasbro and the likes to Anovos? A smaller company that contracts their manufacturing one job at a time?
I personally think they bit off more than they could chew, and didn’t realize a lot of things that went with having that license. They just weren’t prepared at all to keep up with Disney’s demands and the fulfillment of hundreds of thousands of orders for merchandise that had to be manufactured overseas by contract. No matter what, they are only exacerbating the problems by trying to pretend they’re not having issues and continuing to make promises that all ring hollow at this point. They are not the only high-end licensee that is late in fulfilling preorders.
When it comes down to it it’s still caveat emptor, let the buyer beware. The wait times have been outrageous, but to be fair no one told anyone they HAD to wait 2 or even 3 years before asking for a refund.
