Why the fuck do HoloEN get figures before some of the JP girls? Are you fucking kidding me with this shit? What the actual fuck is Covers problem? I'm surprised none of the JPs had committed sudoku yet. Imagine getting shafted because of the simple facf of not having big numbers. Shit must've been demoralizing.

Retard. Merch has always been based off of popularity.

There are multimillion dollar contracts involved in these projects. You don't just dump that kind of money into a lower quartile girl because "she was there first."

Vshojo is a pretty bad comparison however, because those girls just kept their previous accounts and didn't redebut as a blank slate. They would probably have half the numbers if they had done that.

>numbers and Cover
Isn't most of the girls activities as far as merch goes and stream ideas up to them though working with their direct management? I thought Cover as a whole was rather hands off except when it comes to telling them what they can't do, especially when it comes to overseas divisions. If anything this is probably mostly to do with the EN manager's aggressive competitive approach.
At least that's how she comes off when I hear JP and EN girls talk about her.

It's already confirmed way way way way back during the form1st concert that all gen1 will get a nendo. Matsuri was just the fastest 1 to get approved and released for preorder. This is going to be the same for all gens until gen3. Gen 4 has no confirmation yet. Gen5 will most likely get one too because they are always advertised nowadays and they always get some sort of tiein merch from all over like Family mart, that one charity, that magazine thing and Molly. The only ones that would probably won't get 1 yet are ID and Holostars.

Let's ignore the soulless/heartless aspect for a minute...

Anyone not completely retarded would know better than to do this because it will kill your talent acquisition ability. The VTuber industry isn't so competitive that they could get away with cancelling a streamer contract due to low performance. Nevermind that it costs them next to nothing to keep them on roster, just having them is better for attracting talent because it im0lies the company provides a really low stress work environment.

Good smile is the company that drew up the contract that Cover signed. They are the ones in charge of design, manufacture and logistics for all the figurines. There is no point in arguing in why Cover somehow didn't include other branches like ID and Holostars because we know they would if they were even part of the discussion. That's why Holostars got to show up in those limited cards that showed up in convenience stores along with all of HoloJP except for Gen5. Gen5 was new back then. No company hates money and we know adding more people in the mix only means more money since this deal literally does not involve Cover spending any dime except for retweeting the promotion. Your demoralizing argument is stupid and should never even be the point of discussion to begin with.

Read the whole response to the OP. People assume that the problem is with the talents having low numbers and thus they were not included. Which is simply not the case. This is simply Good Smile prioritizing release of teasers to talents that got approvals first like Matsuri. There are are already raw drafts showing almost all HoloJP girls except gen 4 and 5. It's already confirmed that all Gen 1 will get nendos no matter their number. Your whole spiel about canceling low performers in the vtuber industry is not true as Anycolor has done this twice as well as other small indie companies. The whole argument here should not be why Gura got a nendo deal but why GSC didn't even bother with HoloID and Holostars. The answer is they are not financially profitable. People will buy all GenUnits for unity sake. Or even buy all HoloJP for unity sake. The cost of adding the low subs in the HoloJP is manageable. This is not Cover because again. Cover will push all their talents if they can and that is already proven with their chocolate deal that included all Holostars and HoloJP exlcuding Gen5.

The parnership was announced Feb 13. This is the time where 7 HoloJPs has 1M subs already and only 3 HoloEN had over 1M. Matsuri wasn't even part of the list but she got a nendo first. This means it's that Goodsmile and Cover is just slow in releasing approved designs. Matsuri was just the fastest.
