When they were still part of the company, Brand and Kim spoke with the senior executives of Good Smile Company, this because they were concerned that certain licensees, tell me Nintendo and Disney , could Stop working with them when viewing their properties along with sexualized anime characters. Obviously, the company ignored these comments and continued to do it anyway.
At the moment the case is still at a very early stage, so Good Smile Company will continue with its operations as if nothing. Once the case reaches the courts is when the destiny of those involved will be decided, and it will certainly be interesting to know what results from all this.
