Apparently, Oniri Creations has gone into liquidation.

Auto-translated from French:

Hello everyone, last night we learned that the manufacturer Oniri Creation has gone into liquidation.
We are sorry for all our customers who have ordered these pieces for several years and who, despite the wait, will not be able to add these statues to their collection.

Despite the near-certainty of losing our advance payments to Oniri, we want to reassure our customers that those who trusted us by buying from us were right and that they will lose nothing unlike us.

We will therefore assume our responsibilities for the active pre-orders concerned and offer:

- A credit note on the website or on any future order
- A refund

We will process the requests received by email as and when they are received and as quickly as possible. However, given the number of orders concerned, we would ask you for a certain amount of indulgence in the time taken to reply to your emails.

Thank you for your understanding and support

Is Oniri Créations finished?

According to information I was able to consult this morning, the French studio has been in receivership since 15 January 2024. This information should be taken with a grain of salt, however, as liquidation does not necessarily mean permanent closure. A liquidator is generally appointed to find a solution for repaying all creditors, with priority given to suppliers and banks before customers.

If, unfortunately, closure is confirmed, customers will suffer the most, as they are usually the last to be reimbursed in the event of liquidation. This raises concerns about pre-orders, particularly those placed directly with the manufacturer, which could be lost in the event of closure.

It is regrettable that the company is not taking the trouble to communicate a denial or, in the worst case, a warning to its customers. This lack of transparency is in stark contrast to the image the company portrays of itself as transparent and close to its community, which has supported it for years both on social networks and financially.

Our thoughts also go out to the company's employees, who will find themselves in a difficult situation and to whom we wish the best possible recovery.

It is to be hoped that the situation will evolve favourably, but it is important to remain attentive to developments in this case.
