This is the most recent I have seen from them, its pretty checked off but there are a couple still outstanding. it doesnt have TWD or Catwoman, Snape so its a tossup where they go next. Would think Batfleck would be soon.

At this point, I wonder who will be InArt's first female figure, Dany or WW? I think they should get Batfleck and WW up for preorder first to capitalize on their recently released Supes.

Please InArt do a great likeness on WW!
Also just placed my order for Legolas.
Sheesh, two POs almost equaling out to the price of a whole figure

Reading the news this morning and apparently Trump is signing an executive order to add a 10% tariff on all goods coming in from China on day one. Which means Legolas just became a $610 figure if you're in the States.
I kind of figured that naturally InArt was going to keep raising prices since Legolas is selling so well, obviously it's justified if your product is selling. But then with these tariffs, I figured it would be suicide to keep raising prices, until I remembered that their cost for raw materials is probably going up as well, and they still aren't selling to the US direct. Which means not only are they not worried about tariffs, they probably won't think twice about figure prices continuing to go up next year.
I'm not even complaining about Legolas specifically at this point. But I do wonder how many folks we're going to see drop out of this hobby by the time the 2026 calendar starts rolling out.

Not even worried about toys, the prices on food, clothes, and electronics are all going up.

A lot of people are about to be very unhappy when they learn how tariffs work.
Hot Toys ordered through Sideshow will probably see the price increase, but I don't know if stuff ordered through OSK will. Technically he is not an importer. He is buying them locally and shipping them out.

I'm choosing to not worry about price increases until I see it as it sits in front of me with regards to figures, even then w/o tariff's we saw a price hike from Aragorn to Legolas due to popularity so will we ever get a definitive answer? Probably not.
These products aren't coming in from China though. They're sold in China. Kit just reshipping them to the US. I don't think these figures are going to be impacted.
If Kit was based in the US and was importing goods as an actual then I imagine it'd be an issue then.
I don't know how US customs work but are they going to send you an invoice for a 10% markup?

As far as I understand OSK's logistics, Kit ships them to a United States re-shipper. The most recent package I received from OSK was shipped from Washington state. That re-shipper pays the import fees assessed by US Customs. Now the 10% tariff will be added on to those fees. I would imagine that the re-shipper then bills OSK to recoup those fees. Normally those fees are already baked into OSK's price, hence why the shipping fee is included in the OSK price.
I have no idea how this will work for items already purchased, if/when tariffs are implemented. If the incoming US shipment of Legolas costs 10% more, that's a huge cost that will need to be recouped. Is OSK going to eat that charge, or will OSK have to reach out to customers and say "Due to tariffs, the balance due will now be $535 instead of the previously stated $480"?
I know a bit about this as I dealt with importing figures from China into the United States. We had an agent that drove a truck down to the port, picked up the cargo, then delivered it to our warehouse. A few weeks after we received the shipment, we received a bill that included their delivery fees and any associated import costs/fees. We overnighted a check to them to make sure the bill was paid promptly. So, in that scenario, our agent would've added the 10% tariff onto our bill for delivery services. Those fees are just part of the cost of doing business, it comes out of our margin.
I would think that's how it will go. It's not Kit's responsibility to cover our tariffs.

Hermione, she has already gone up for order.
I see. I’m not sure how Kit does it but most China/HK sellers are making these items as low value toys anyway.
I guess time will just have to tell here.

Well with time running out on PO for this guy and seeing Inarts FB page they did confirm Legolas will be coming with a crotch grabber but still nothing on a Mirkwood bow which is disappointing but im sure in the coming months revisions and updates will come around.
Just don't pre-order it expecting them to add extra stuff.
