Thanks Trump. Due to Tariffs on China, Fresh Monkey Fiction has canceled their second wave of Longbox Heroes. While I don't collect the line, the message is clear. Tariffs are hurting companies and consumers.
We saw how a big company like Nintendo had to step back and delay US Preorders, now we're seeing small companies having to cancel products. Other companies will raise prices. Will you pay NECA prices for Marvel Legends ot Masterverse?
New Etheria Bow and Glimmer would make me, but I gave up on Masterverse with the weird releases and awkward schedules.
As of now my last Marvel Legends purchases are Pandering to my people Miles and Bully Maguire. Marrow, Chameleon TAS, and Maximum Spider-Man are on my BBTS Pile of Loot. Any future MLs have to pander to my tastes: Spider-Man, Capcom versions, random characters I may find appealing. Maximum series are a no go with that 50% tariffs.
That's not even mentioning Super7... I will still make Ultimates wishlists, because they're fun, nit because they'll happen. $100 Pizzaface... goddammit Trump!
This could also screw Syndicate Toys, especially their Double Dragon Line... We still don't have Abobo, Linda, Jeff, Roper, Williams, the Abobo repaints (Jick, Mibobo), and Marian. With the figures being $50, the tariffs would put them at $75, and the Abobos could easily go over $100. I still haven't gotten my Bimmy and Jimmy, so I can't comment on the quality of the figures.
Who would've thought that Donald Trump, of all people, would be the one to mortally wound The House of Rants... Guess Mrs. N. is going to get some lovin' after Scottie reads this.
