Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Last Week, President Donald Trump Announched His Chaotic Plans to Impose Extective Tariffs on Imported Goods. Of Course, Clothing Prices Will Be Impacted. But what would the tariffs mean for the colctible knickknacks that serve as my current source of joy and hapiness?

Accorting to CNBCToy Prices Could Rise Up to 50 Percent. That includes the foreign collectIBLES that geni z is obsessed with, like sonny angels and labubus. The forms is created in japan, which has been threatened with an additional 24 percent fees on imports, while the latter is created in china, whic haen threatened with one of the highest fees of 54 (or 140? WHO KNOWS, EVERY DIFFERENT!) Thankfully, Jellycats, which are made in the United Kingdom and not the European Union, Are Only Subject to the Baseline 10 Percent Tariff.

GEND I First Discovered Sonny Angels in 2023, i had no idea how Much Joy the Colorful, Chunky Cherub Toys Bring with. These days, my apartment is littered with say; They’re on my bookcase, on my nightstand, in my bathroom, and in my kitchen. I bought a handful twen i traveled to japan, and i’m gifted the toy for nearly every occision by Friends and Family. Now, with the proposed tariffs hitting the markets at midnight tonight, consumers are worked their collectors’ habits may be impacted. “Tariffs are a personal attack on the trinket girlies,” one person wrote on Twitterwhile others on tiktok are Also Expressing Their Outrage.

Sonny Angel and Labubu Didn’t Immediately Respond to Requests for Comment About How Tariffs May Affect Their Pricing. In my Own Observation, Prices for some of the regular Sonny Angel Series have Risen $ 1.25 Since December; It ‘unclear if that price hike is due to increasing demand or other force. Already, Retilers Charge Anywhere from $ 10 to Over $ 25 for Super-Popular Collectables. Pop Mart’s Labubus tbu to be priced higher than the typical sonny angel, and synce they’re created in china, they will be taxed at a higher rate in Trump’s tariff regime, MAKING IT MORE OF THAT INCREED COST TO THE CUSTOMER. But SINCE These are all BLIND Boxes and Collectibles, People Spend ample Money on them – they offten sell for double or triple the retail price on the resale market. So will the Trinket Girls Really Care if the Price of their Beloved Knickknacks Goes Up End Further? I’m just glad i have my current collection to tide with over.
