News/Developments
2025 continues being a...unique...year, as more startling developments unravel on all fronts!
For many April was a trying month and we are just as hopeful that this coming May will hold better tidings!
Filian
The main reason we don't address the same projects every month is because progression takes several months to achieve/make any reportable progress on. Regardless, we've had some people asking about this project, so we will reiterate that we are making normal progress on it.
So far, the only potential issues come from things affecting Novel Horizons as a whole like the Tariffs.
Sinder Project: Demon Sinder
We have received many requests for this project asking for pre-order cancelations.
Under normal circumstances, most of these requests would be outside of our cancelation period/cooldown period, but given the gravity of the situation presented, we've lifted the time-limitation to an extent.
Meaning, while we can't refund certain orders due to the afterpay/Paypal limitations on their end (Something we cannot control in any way), we are offering customers a fully functional, non-expiring Gift Card for the Horizon's Merch Store(https://horizonsmerch.com/) instead.
For those unfamiliar with this store, this is where our non-preorder items end up. Such as small merchandise and excess figure stock during our super sales!
The Gift card provided will equal the amount of the order and the original order will be canceled upon accepting it.
Other alternatives outside of the Gift Card including transferring the order over to another project. Although, this option requires further discussions since it is not something our system natively supports.
For full cash-back refunds, who are not interested in alternative options, refunds will be looked into on a case-by-case basis with no guarantee. Since, unfortunately, most of our refund policy comes from the payment processors limitations/terms more-so than our own.
Finally, our customer service for the time being will be drastically slowed down due to the inquiry amount which crashed our system twice over the course of the "event". So, we appreciate everyone's patience as we work our way through this.
We currently do not have a defined amount of time of expected wait for customer support inquiries to be responded too.
Newly released projects!
Troubles and turbulations aside, Last month was a month of new releases! Including the launch our newest line of mini figures, the Sitti's!
An affordable way that we made for fans to support their favorite creators! On top of that we also have a new scale figure drop joining the currently active Amalee figure!
Be sure not to miss your chance to get them!
May the 4th/5th Sale
Due to feedback in our newest survey,
We've decided to launch a second annual super sale!
The Sale will go be going live as soon as we can finish getting inventory counts on the items! These include figures and past merch items that many may have missed the chance to get before!
We will announce the sale live on Discord and Twitter once everything is prepared.
So be sure to keep an eye on our Horizon's Merch website: https://horizonsmerch.com/ As we add stock to it as it gets counted out!
It's like a evolving garage sale! You never know what you may find or what will show up! All you know is that it'll be gone quickly!
(Keep in mind none of the items in the super sale are re-runs/recreations and are solely stock left over for various reasons from various projects).
Don't miss out on your chance to potentially get a rare figure that hasn't been available for a long while!
The reason why people keep asking about Filian is because the original ETA was January 2024, but there's been very little communication about the project along with no new ETA.
Can I just swap from Sinder Figure to another preorder figure of equal price, that way I don’t have to get a refund? Cause I want that Amalee figure but ain’t got the money for it rn.
Will the Sinder figures be put back up for sale for those not bothered by the crap being slung?
