Every company has a different method of producing. In Yan He's case, her vocal was nearly complete when they threw in the contest. This way, people could design her while the vocal was still being produced. Once the design was picked, the vocal was practically finished and they threw in the boxart, made an album, set a release date and BANG she's done.

In Merli's case, the design was done, they just had to find a voice to match what she looked like, which takes longer... :/
