China can still create your figures if they open and operate a plant here in the US. The figures will not cost you more because the worker wage increase is offset by the logistics and shipping cost decrease.
You will no longer need to ship the figures overseas in giant containers. Any inspections and changes to the figures can be made in-house down the street probably wherever the plant is. There's no need to import the natural gas, refine it with a cracking process, or outsource the raw plastics anywhere because we have all that in the USA.
Go into a store and find something made in the USA it doesn't cost any more than the same item made in China. I pay $2 for a plastic spatula made in China and $2 for one made in the USA. If for some reason I have to pay $2.50 for that spatula because there is extra processes involved, I'm good with that.
