As for all the Y'shtola merch the best way to solve that problem is to simply design a better postergirl.
Etsy is a place for artists with freedom of creativity and not big industry merchandise. Which is usually cheaper than any official merchandise so the comparison is apples to oranges. They also said their lack of Emet merchandise was that they wanted to wait until his role in the story was over. Pretty sure they addressed that at some point and from their business pov, seemed to have been pretty okay with that decision and do not regret it.
