It's not surprising they are re-releasing the JL figures to the general public now but I do wish they would have included some accessories with them. I guess that would be salt to the wound for those who got the streaming service versions though.

With the seeming delay of the McFarlane stuff which was original hoped to be out in early January and now seems more likely mid-year at earliest, these zombie figures felt to me like something cheap and easy DCC came up with to fill that void of no DC figures during the beginning of the year.

News about tariffs and trade wars is not something we normally cover here on TNI, but news has come out today stating that China and the US have reached a phase one trade deal that will cancel new proposed tariffs that the Trump administration was planning on implementing against China on December 15. These new tariffs would have directly impacted the toy industry and likely caused toy companies to raise prices on their products. Negotiations on the next section of a broader agreement are said to begin immediately. The current tariffs of 25 percent that the U.S. previously imposed on $250 billion of Chinese imports will remain in place, along with 7.5 percent duties on another $120 billion worth of goods. Obviously as things continue to be negotiated and hammered out things could change, but it's definitely good news for the toy industry and those purchasing action figure products that there will be no new tariffs added this Sunday, as was originally feared to happen.
