It's the September Novel News!
We would like to once again reiterate to read the FAQ before reaching out to support and the(this) Novel News for the most up-to-date information on projects. We also want to once again remind everyone that the email "Novelhorizonspublishers@gmail.com" is NOT ACTIVE. Please use the contact form on our site to reach support. Otherwise, the inquiry will simply be lost to the void.
With that out of the way, onwards onto project updates!
As you can tell from the graphic, we have a wide variety of projects currently mid-fulfilment.
Most of these projects are over 80% complete with a majority of the remaining items being combo-ed with not-yet released items , which means we cannot send them as our system doesn't allow for orders to be split.
Now onward onto more in-depth project detailing for the projects requiring them!
Project Zentreya
As iterated in the previous news.
If you are someone who has received an item with this defect or any other defect in regards to this product, please reach out to: Support@Novelhorizons.com
With a topic line of: Zentreya - Defect: LHL - Flip
For this specific defect, replacement parts have been successfully created in the form of "Leg packs" which include both legs and their magnets, but not attached by glue. This way, customers with the defect can make sure the polarities are correct and get a full functional leg.
We are currently preparing to send these out to all customers who submitted a report, so if you haven't, make sure you have!
As it stands, the defect has affected 36 Zentreya's.
Otherwise, this project has reached it's conclusion for domestic non-combo packed orders. Which are handled at the very end.
International orders are still in process.
Project Silvervale
Project Silvervale has also reached it's conclusion for non-combo packed orders.
We hope everyone enjoys their Silvervale and we would like to thank everyone for their patience regarding this project!
Project Sinder
Project Sinder began fulfilment half-way into last month.
At the current rate things are going, we plan on having most, if not all Sinder sent out before or by Mid-September!
For many combo orders, Sinder was the bottle-neck item and with her now in the warehouse, it is just a matter of getting through all solo-standing orders before we can begin sending those out!
We'd like to thank all the Pyro-Pups for their support thus far and we hope you are looking forward to Twitch-con for a special surprise!
Project Projekt Melody
Projekt Melody is currently waiting for space at the warehouse still due to her volume equaling if not surpassing that of the Silvervale box. For customers who have purchased and received that item should have a good idea of how much space that requires when 1000's of units are involved.
Otherwise, she is complete and if you are interested in getting a sneak peek of what to expect, you can see her both in Projekt Melody's past streamathon stream as well as Nagzz's from even further back!
For those who have forgotten, her full list of features includes a removeable jacket, pants (Made of a special pliable PVC) magnetic arms, blueberry infused scent, glowing LED Base, squishy booba/legs and a diorama display base!
Project Nanoless + Lucia
During the midst of working through orders, we have been regularly sneaking in units of these to get those sent out in small waves.
Now, with space slowly opening up, We are happy to announce that all these units will be going out by this month!
Project Filian
We've had many inquiries regarding this project and at the moment, we have placed it on a pause as we continue to wait for answers to very important questions, resolutions, or solutions as well as even alternatives.
This pause is taking place at every stage of the project until satisfactory information has been provided.
We would like to apologize to all of the Snackers for this issue and we we are working hard to reach a conclusive agreement the parties we have contact with.
To clarify some confusion, the "Idol Filian" design was wholly designed by us for the use of this project and was later adopted for use in the Vtuber Awards. With our permission. For those curious, below you can see our concept sheet.
San Japan 2024
San Japan was a great convention this year filled with lots of fun, friends, and doing what we find the most fulfilling in this space, making people happy, letting them have fun, and creating unforgettable experiences!
As we continue gathering fan photos, we will be posting them in their own blog post for everyone else to see/enjoy! We looked forward to seeing you all next year and we hope to do an even bigger, greater show then!
Horizon's Merchandise
Due to some unexpected circumstances, we've expediated the launch of our new sister store, Horizon's Merchandise! This site will house in-stock small merch items featuring various Vtubers that we are working with to various capacities. (not necessarily for Figure Projects).
This is part of our initiative to increase our item offerings so that customers who can't immediately go for our high-end Figure items, can still support their favorite Tubah's! This launch coincides with our San Japan Merch-line drop which will only be around for a short while longer!
To celebrate the store launch, there is a spend 50$, get a 5$ giftcard free deal going on!
For our Kson item specifically, one in every 100 of those orders also will be HANDSIGNED by souchou herself!
So don't miss your chance to grab these items now!

MISC
The past month was filled with various unforseen challenges that were mostly entirely unrelated to Novel Horizons as a whole, but we are working toward overcoming them. There may be a few things we missed to address in this blog post, but as they are brought to our attention, we will update it as necessary.
Although, unlike the previous month where things seemed to be in a constant state of flux, changing almost daily, we believe this month things are starting to settle down to a point where we can make a viable update on it.
Otherwise, that concludes this months Novel News! Until next time!
