Doll News Tariffs Megathread

57 Upvotes

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

Tutorial Did some sizing and comparisons w/ the new Mirror Mi dolls to figure out who you can steal clothes from and what patterns work if you want to sew for them!

New dolly sizing article! You can use my guides to either steal or sew clothes and I do one for most new doll lines when they come out. Ridiculously long blog post with waaaaay more pictures at my website: https://raddollclothes.com/blogs/news/new-dolls-mirror-mi-sizing-comparisons

For Stealing: Any of the dolls from the first picture you can steal from, the closer the doll is to the Mirror Mi in the pic, the better the fit.

For Sewing: Petite Curvy sized patterns, but since her upper/lower body are sliiiightly different, you want to print patterns at 90% for blouses and dresses with full skirts. For pants and only pants, print patterns at 100%. For fitted dresses like a QiPao, print at 95%.

Discussion / Questions 25 years of Bratz - review of the comback

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

The girls have been back for almost 6 years now and I thought it would be fun to take a look at the main lines they released. Well to me these are the primary fashion lines anyway. The other lines are more thematic lol

What do we think about the consistency in quality and theme? Do you think they stayed true to each character or took more creative routes?

I think they did capture the core of each character for the lines. Although, I think the most consistent has to be Yasmin and the one that took the biggest shift Is probably Sasha, but I think its for the better in both cases. I think Cloe has the most steady color scheme and the greatest improvement to her face sculpt. And I think Jade had the greatest glowup that highlighted her more alternative characteristics but because of that shes the least consistent although not in a bad way.

Overall, I think the comeback has been a huge success :) in true MGA fashion, theres been a significant price jump with less components. But Im glad the Bratz pack is back and I hope they keep going strong :D

I found a 17" Sailor Moon Adventure Doll in a junk store and I absolutely love it. I have no idea on how to fix dolls but was wondering if anybody can help me with her hair without using heat? The rest looks fine (if you see any problems let me know!) I could watch videos but I rather ask people and keep talking to them incase I have anymore questions and such. I really would appreciate it though!!🌟🫶🏻

Hi there! I recently found a beautiful Tiana doll at the thrift, sadly she didn't have her shoes. I'm trying to find her a replacement pair but can't really find any info on what different kind of brands would fit. I thought maybe Corolle shoes might fit but was wondering if anyone has any info on that before I make a purchase, thank you!

Discussion / Questions Mirror Mi Question....Should I Wait Or??

Upvotes

hi i noticed that the dolls are going on loop when it comes to being restocked on amazon that i cant keep up with it. i was wondering if they do go back in stock? should i just purchase them right there and there? or should i wait for the regular world wide normal restock that was suppose to be done this month but nothing so far, its scarce on them being restocked inside of target, walmart nothing so far, and amazon well ya know. I am also seeing that the last time one of them was in restock in amazon the wait time for them to come in was on august 2 or later on..so i am legit at lost as to when there exactly suppose to be restocked normally.

which goes back to the question i have here.. should i wait?? or should i just buy them when i see them in stock on amazon? because as of right now i have a budget limit and i honestly cant spend 60 something dollars for two or more dolls - example here.. i dont wanna lose my chance on having them, so, its like im forced here 😓, i am willing to break even just 😞😵‍💫.. i dont know what to do,... help please 😭. any straight to the point, back hand slap comments are welcome just boot camp style i dont care.. if they are being nornal restock i need to know for sure....​

Customs / OOAK Anyone successfully rewig Disney ILY4Ever 18"?

I saw a video from Dallas Doll Co where she cut the hair off an Our Generation doll's rooted hair and replaced it with a wig.

Has anyone tried to do this with an ILY 4ever doll and have the size/ears be okay with a glued down wig?

I'd love to customize an American Girl doll eventually but want to try with what we have on hand first. Thank you!

Every year I like to turn trash into miniatures for my dolls and I love doing kids birthday parties so this year was a fourth birthday party circus themed!! The theater was made from a crate someone was throwing away and the pillows are from free fabric samples I've collected - all the party circle rings are made from recycled paper and some paint

Kitten Catfe hybrid on an Equestria Girls Sweetie Belle body~

Anthro dolls are surprisingly hard to find, so sometimes you just have to take matters into your own hands when you want a new one haha.

This doll started as a random idea after I learned that Kitten Catfe was supposed to get a line of 1/6 fashion dolls, but it was sadly canceled.

She reminds me a bit of French Kitty~

Request Searching for a doll / figure

Post image
36 Upvotes

Hi ! Some time ago i realised that without meaning to i collected 3 dolls / figure (Mae Tallick from Novi Stars, a Hatsune Miku figure from Bandai I think? And Twyla from Monster High) that all have in common that they are a non-human character with blue / purple colors and pigtails.

Since then, i'm thinking it would be funny to continue on this collection. Do you have other characters or doll / figures other than the ones on the picture with this description ?

Thank you !

I just got back from good ol Cali and finally bought Tia and Ariel (and Raps was on sale on the store)

I was thinking of replacing their bodies for made to move or at least something that doesn't rely on bend/snap knees?

Does anyone have any suggestions? Even if there's no ankle articulation, i can live with it. Bonus if the body is curvy/petite/tall

Thank you so much!
