PSA

Decades ago, our toys proudly said “Made in Japan.” Then they said “Made in Taiwan.” After that, it was “Made in Hong Kong” — back when Hong Kong was still under British rule. Eventually, it became “Made in China,” where factories evolved into fine-tuned machines for making safe, affordable, and magically complex toys at scale.

This shift wasn’t just about cost. It was about capability. Making toys isn’t easy, it takes serious skill, safety protocols, precision molds, and a whole lot of hands-on experience. And China’s had a few decades’ head start.

Back home, the once-grand toy districts of places like Brooklyn are long gone. Don’t believe me? Just ask the folks at the Brooklyn Brewery, they’re brewing beer in the old Cardinal Toys building. Cheers to that, I guess?

So no, we didn’t just wake up one day and decide to send toy production overseas. The Toy Industry evolved that way over generations. And now, with tariffs threatening to turn that supply chain upside-down, we’re being asked to rebuild it all overnight, like it’s as easy as assembling a Lego set (without the instructions).

We need smart policies rooted in how things actually work …not just how we wish they did. Otherwise be prepared for very expensive toys this holiday season!!!!
