Crunchyroll offers a variety of figurines and memorabilia alongside their anime and Asian-content video streaming. One such offering was going to be the latest GEM figurine release – Hikari and Angewomon.
The distributor announced the cancellation of the figurine’s availability in both North America and Europe.
The reasoning behind the cancellation was quite honest and somewhat interesting:
“This cancellation came at the order of the original rights holders. They wanted to market Digimon as a child-friendly property, and though this Angewomon figure wasn’t appropriate for that image,” said the Crunchyroll representative.
Finally, it’s worth mentioning that Crunchyroll is refunding all orders on the set. The Angemon & Takeru figures are still coming, however.
(Editor’s Note: You can obviously still import the figurine, as I’m sure a few of you might be considering this)
