Good point about the July wildcard. My understanding is that Playmates
Toys has contingency plans for an untoward assimilation of Hong Kong
by the Mainland. Playmates already has shifted a great deal of
production to Macau over the years, and it has incorporated
in Bermuda. There are those whose opinions I value who say that
Playmates could shift all production out of China in a matter of
weeks. The principals of the company supposedly all have Canadian
passports, just in case.

The company which could be badly hurt, assuming a rough transition,
would be Hasbro Toys. Hasbro has put many of its eggs in the
China basket. Most of Hasbro's production takes place on the
mainland.
