Weekly summary 43/2021

Hi,

this is a summary of what was going in the doll world in the 43rd week of 2021, as far as we at Dollstudio & DS Doll Europe & Xycolo Europe were concerned.

1) Corona situation. a) The situation in general. The economic desaster caused by lockdowns and other Corona measures keeps unfolding. Supply chains are disrupted, and energy prices keep climbing up - fuel, gas, diesel, crude oil, and coal. Shortages in key industries are continuously reported even in mainstram media. There is a massive energy crisis ahead, comparable with what happened in the 1970's. It is becoming obvious that Corona was only the pretext for something much bigger, now aliased as "New World Order" or "The Great Reset" or "Agenda 2030".

With currently 64 studies including 30 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and 44 peer-reviewed papers reporting positive effects of Ivermectin, there is plenty of sound research proving the efficacy of Covid-19 prophylaxis, and treatment protocols like I-MASK+ and MATH+ available. Also, as reported in the Lancet, inhalation of Budesonid can reduce the probability of severe courses of disease by 90%. All of this is clear evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is similarily managable like any other easily transmissible virus. For what plausible reason is treatment and prophylaxis with Ivermectin or Budesonid keeps getting suppressed? #FollowtheScience.

For background information:

b) Impact on the doll business. The global crisis hits the doll business on multiple levels:

  1. Several Chinese manufacturer have issued alerts because of silicone shortages and steeply increasing costs for raw materials. Prices for materials required to build dolls have increased by up tp 40%.
  2. Severed supply chains even affect doll makers outside of China as parts required to build the dolls can not be obtained anymore.
  3. Also, air freight costs have massively increased, especially for taller and/or heavier dolls.
  4. Last but not least, Chinese factories suffer from electricity power limits because the Chinese government has rationed electrical energy. That means that the lead time to make a doll increases, in some cases it even doubles because the factories are simply not allowed to work as long as they want.

Bottomline: All signs are now indicating a massive crisis. Watch out!

2) New arrivals.
