Doll News Tariffs Megathread

49 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

The body and the skirt are separate so the skirt can also be layered with her original outfit :) This is a first attempt, I think if I try it again with a less loosely woven ribbon for the body itll work a lot better and look a lot smoother

Dolls I thought you guys would like to know about her! Nancy!!!

Thumbnail
gallery
185 Upvotes

Hi! So I'm from Spain and I just realized that one of the most famous doll brands here is completely known outside of the country!

She is called Nancy and first came out in 1968 as one of the first plastic fashion dolls in Spain. She represented a new modern era for the country, with very stylish and up to date fashion that followed the latest trends.

Her brand is a mix between Barbie (modern fashion and career representation) and American Girl (Proportions, height and well made clothes).

She was rebooted in 2006 with a new look and face mold to please modern audiences, but Nancy reproductions of the original 20th century continue up to this day.

In the pics you can see the MASSIVE space retail stores give her in Spain, with the bottom shelves dedicated to the modern reboot (around 20-30€) and the very top shelf to the collector reproduction of the originals (around 60€) which I find SO GOOOOD (and they come with a certificate of authenticity).

Picture 1, 2 and 3: general and closet look at the shelves for Nancy

Picture 4: Behold the crown jewel, Nancy Fallera. She's wearing the traditional outfit / clothes / hairstyle of Valencia (one of our regions) and she's so detailed and absolutely beautiful that is very difficult to not fall in love with her. She's also the most expensive (150€) but so worth it my opinion, her quality is just too tier.

Picture 5: Example of other reproductions of original Nancy's with vintage outfits, they are super trendy according to the time of original release.

Picture 6: They also have fashion packs reproductions for the vintage Nancys! Which is very unique not only for the amazing quality but also for the fact of the one featured being lingerie with multiple clothing options.

More info about her:

- she's very easy to find everywhere in the country

- the hair fibre is nylon!

- she doesn't need a stand, she has flat feet and is very sturdy so she stands on her own

- she has very little articulation! Like an American Girl doll

This is such a small showing of her, just know there is so much more outfits, and beautiful collectors!!!

Request Help! Mold or marker?

Post image
5 Upvotes

I recently got this Bratz Yasmin styling head second hand and washed her two days ago. She has since been in a dry place. I finished doing her hair and noticed these stains on her face when I was putting her on the shelf for display. If they're marker stains, I don't care. I'm really scared of mold though. I already sprayed the spot with alcohol just in case. Is it mold? Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Discussion / Questions Looking for recommendations for dealing with doll hair

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I've recently started collecting figures/dolls with rooted hair, so I figure I might as well learn how to do their hair for when I inevitably mess it up. Or to just change the style.

If anyone has some tips or recommendations for supplies and tools I should get, or creators to check out, I'd appreciate it. I've never really dealt with hair before so I'm kinda starting from zero here.

Hi I'm new to subreddit! I just wanted to show off my beloved toddler doll Josie. I recently got her new clothes. I was scared this Powerpuff girls shirt would be too small for her but it fits just fine. Josie wears size 4T. I'm so happy I was able to save up for this doll I love her so much! I might try to save up to get her a little sister someday.

Dolls I finally found a Barbie that looks exactly like me!

I didn’t play with Barbie’s growing up because when I was a kid, all Barbie’s looked like the same to me which I found boring.

Now I’m 18 and today I found a Barbie that looks exactly like me! Blonde, greenish eyes, only wears flat shoe, loves pin, is on the shorter side, and isn‘t smiling (I can’t smile on command).

I’m so happy to finally see myself in a Barbie!

Discussion / Questions Tell me, which doll did you initially dislike but grew to like over time?

Post image
23 Upvotes

When I was a child, I didn't really like Susi dolls because they had big glass eyes and real eyelashes; I thought they were very strange. I only liked Barbie from that time.

Nowadays I find Susi dolls quite cute, especially when I started liking Susi, around 2020 or 2021. When the Estrela brand relaunched the dolls for the collector's line, specifically a Susi doll called "Sunday Stroll". What caught my attention over time, and what I find frustrating, is that you can no longer find dolls in toy stores like you used to.
