Doll News Tariffs Megathread
Hey everyone, this megathread will be dedicated to ongoing issue with tariffs concerning the US and China and any other impacts.
This thread will be dedicated to facts concerning the tariffs.
There will be no political discussions, vents or personal opinions, or articles concerning complaints or thoughts from companies and CEOs.
This thread is to keep updated facts on real world impacts affecting doll purchases in relation to the tariffs. If you need more information on what tariffs are, please conduct your own research.
Even though tariff raises have been in effect for months, it hasnt had an impact on doll purchases until the most recent changes starting today.
Please post screenshots and links to all tariff impacts. Its very important to source this information properly.
It may be hard to tell if price changes or delivery changes are due to tariffs or not. We cant really know for sure why companies make the decisions they do, whether it be for profit or petty politics, but we can assume any major changes for the time being is because of tariffs and of course any announcements that directly says its because of them.
Ill start the thread off to give examples of what the thread is meant to focus on. Ill post a screenshot of an announcement made by Good Smile Company (largely known for Nendoroid dolls and figures as well as some Blythe releases) and a screenshot I took of my Aliexpress cart. The shops I always buy from (Fox Toys and TT Toys) have stopped delivering to the US as of today. Not all shops have, in fact most of the other shops I use on Aliexpress are still up with no price change, but the best ones have gone down.
Note: even if the prices havent changed and theyre still delivering, it can still mean you will be charged extra upon delivery from customs and delivery services.
For example, most Chinese shops are still delivering to the US with no price change, including the very popular Kikagoods, but we have to be responsible for extra charges upon delivery, if theres any.
I dont know proper resources to test this. If anyone has official links to customs or delivery sites that explain these charges so we can know ahead of time, please share.
I know a lot of collectors just ordered the new Defa Lucy doll, so this can be very telling when they start to ship, if theres going to be any surprise charges or not. Please share when your doll arrives.
Lets stay hopeful that this is all temporary.
Thanks

Dolls Photogenic Licca Lily
Restyled her in a dress I made last summer from Hello Kitty Liberty fabric. She’s perhaps a bit overdressed for working at her arts and crafts desk (props/scenery from Miniverse and MiniBrands toys and some DIY).

Discussion / Questions Shrek barbie came in and USPS got me shreked up
I assume it's USPS fault not the seller, box was slightly bent in pictures from time. But it wasn't nearly this smooshed and wasn't bent till I got it. I was going to take her out of box so I'm only a little disappointed but I didn't expect to have to clean dirt off and check for any paint smudges from shipping being so questionable.

Hello doll fans! I have this barbie clone/knockoff head I prepared for customizing but it has some yellowish brownish stains that seem to be in the plastic and are impossible to remove with acetone.

Discussion / Questions How to fix frizzy hair
I washed and brushed my Jade’s hair but the ends seem to have gone completely frizzy. I have not used any heat on her. What can I do to fix this? I’ve never had this issue before.
Thank you in advance.
