Kavi release for real.
Dec. 30th, 2022 09:29 am( Feels like forever. )
Now. Yesterday when people flocked to their stores, they also saw this:
Which leads us to believe the 90's twins are coming on 2/22. If next year was 2022, I'd totally get the absolute NEED to release them on 2/22/22 but it's not. It's 2023 soooooo... this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth for many a reason but most of them all boil down to this:
Releasing the twins basically two months after Kavi says that AG has no big hope for Kavi's sales. It also says they didn't expect Claudie to sell well. Claudie got the short end of the advertising stick because she didn't get her own catalog and she's not even getting a year to herself. Hell, if she's getting six months, it's only barely.
The fact that they couldn't even wait til Jan 2, giving Kavi her own release date through the date most people would assume the GOTY would appear? That's shitty. Because it immediately undercuts Kavi's debut and could very well hurt her sales. As it is, I'd planned on buying Kavi and her PJs, but was willing to entertain the notion of her performance outfit (figuring I'll pick up Bollywood at some point, too) but if the twins have stuff that hits the nostalgia button hard enough, that's where my money will go. Thing is, had I not known they were coming so soon, I'd still be more interested in Kavi's performance outfit. Hell, for half a second I considered waiting to see what the twins would look like before grabbing Kavi even though I KNOW I want Kavi.
AG can't afford to have people do that. Literally cannot afford it. You guys could've given her four days to herself and you didn't and that's shitty.
If I'm feeling the teensiest bit like cutting AG slack, I'm not sure how much of their non-obsessive type fans will look at it and go, "oh, the twins!" or even "new dolls!" so there's that.
Could've waited four fucking days, AG.
