We have had our heads down trying to solve all of our production issues. We have struggled deeply with all of our direct to customer licensed statues as they all were incredibly low run, highly limited pieces. This was impacted greatly by covid and the factory we chose for the vast majority of these statues has not been able to come back online as fast as we had hoped.

We had to scale back our business a significant amount and made some pretty big layoffs late last year.<br>With all that said we have a path forward.
