Nope. And it would be wishful thinking to think they would. Once they get raised, Hasbro generally KEEPS them raised. I mean really - when was the last time they ever LOWERED the prices for their figures, even during prosperous circumstances?

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

Trump did reply to those comments but misspoke, referring to Mattel as a country.

Hasbro has not clarified anything on the matter

Re domestic manufacturing: Another factor that doesn't get mentioned as much, alongside costs, is long-term stability. Bluntly, even if US vs China manufacturing costs temporarily work out in the light of +145% tariffs (they don't, but assume arguendo), nobody is going to spend millions-to-billions of dollars setting up new US manufacturing capacity based on what Trump says today when they know full well that he might say something completely different tomorrow, and his tariffs will almost certainly not outlive him / his term (whichever comes first - as soon as Trump himself is out of the picture, expect Congress to suddenly remember "oh yeah, the President doesn't actually have the authority to do any of this").
