Standee Production 1:1 Scale (Life Size)

- ARP will consider each case individually according to your purposes. You can contact us for more information or permission to do so. However, any direct use or modification of Official source materials used in Fanmade goods is not allowed. The word "Fanmade/Not for Sale" must be visible on the product.

The reasons we do not allow producing and selling Fanmade goods, such as keychains and postcards, are as follows:

  • We already sell those products.
  • We cannot control the content, concepts, or quality of Fanmade goods, which can cause misunderstandings and a negative impact on Vtubers and brands.

  • Digital form of a printed book or eBook is not allowed to sell.

  • We do not support or condone using Official products, including our Official designs such as Orion Collection T-Shirt, in a costume rental business, which is a copyright infringement. ARP is not responsible or liable for any loss, damage, or dispute that may be incurred.

FAQ (Frequently asked Questions)

Q: Would newly released roleplay regulations affect writing fanfiction?

Not at all. You can continue to write fanfiction as long as it complies with our guidelines.

The new regulations were put in place due to the circumstances where our Vtubers' images and names were being used widely in TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter in an impersonating nature. This can cause misunderstandings and have a negative impact on our Vtubers and brands.

Q: Fanmade Goods for personal use (not giveaway).

We changed from the minimum order quantity to 10 units/ item since many suppliers/shops might have different minimum requirements.

Q: Can we do giveaways but charge shipping fees?

Yes. As long as both parties agree to do so.

Q: The total income cannot exceed THB 20,000. Does this amount already exclude costs?

This amount is the total income without deducting costs and taxes.

Q: If Vtuber has several versions/costumes, does that count as one character still?

Even if there are several versions/costumes, we would still count as the one.

For example, the total income from Dacapo (original) + Dacapo (Black) + Dacapo (White) cannot exceed THB 20,000.
