Bad news for figure fans: Jun Planning, who recently shut down its US-based operations, has reportedly suspended its operations in Japan as well and filed for bankruptcy, saddled with about $33 million USD in debt.I don't know very much about how bankruptcy works in Japan versus the US (anyone who does, feel free to chime in), so it's unclear to me at this point whether Jun Planning can reorganize and potentially move forward again or if they're completely down for the count. But hopefully we'll hear more as the bankruptcy moves forward.In the meantime, I think this does not bode well for the Revy and Louise figures I wanted from them. Unless we get lucky and they've already been produced, in which case they may yet get sold to help counter some of that debt...maybe? Again, not sure how Japanese bankruptcy works!
