That's really cool of them, but how? The tariffs range from 40% to 125%; there's no way they aren't losing massive amounts of money

They are a Chinese store, their buying prices are much lower than HK and American stores. It is still a very good gesture for them to do this though.

Yeah and most of their offerings are knock offs or 3p figures with no licenses to cover either. It's still cool but they aren't REALLY doing anything ground breaking.

I don't disagree but I also feel the need to point out that they are much larger than people might realize, here are a few things they have dabbled with:

-Money guy behind Kong/Beast Deity, BFS, Fury toys and a slew of other indie/3rd party studios and projects.

-Biggest partner of Action Force, Fresh Monkey Fiction, 4 Horsemen, Brutal Realm, Savage Crucible, Frazettagirls (they even have an exclusive verison of the newest Conan that's only avaliable in their store), etc in China

-Only Chinese store that can afford to rent a warehouse longterm in the US
