I say bring back child labour and $7 figures with accessories. Plus their tiny hands can paint smaller and cram in articulation pins in tiny places. I expect we could have hinged wrists then. Maybe HasBro can just team up with Apple and make that dream a reality.

Yeah, but given the US recent cut back in the corporate tax rate once you figure in the shipping cost, travel cost, miscommunications, stollen intellectual property, constant recalls for lead paint, kidnaped executives, employees who wold rather not travel to less than safe and reputable locations, it is becoming economically competitive to produce domestically, Plus you have a lot more versatility of production when when the factory is just down the street and you can go there and discuss problems with employees rather than needing a translator or in some cases ( like China ) haveing to hire a government liaison and travel half way around he world to fix a problem.

Children would steal to much of the product, midget slave clones is the answer, but you people and your so called “ ethics” just wont let it happen...
