Figures we need but will likely never get…
I’d die for Jayce and Viktor. I can see VI happening in some point. These companies are just insane for not jumping on Arcane.Figures we need but will likely never get…
Ekko with the mask on and the hoverboard is like the coolest design from the show. Would look so sick in the display.Echo and Jayce needs to be made but let’s be honest, Vi being made is the very least thing they’ll do. Lines up with what they did with their League license. Do Cosbabies of Ashe and Kaisa, only do 1/6 figures of those two. Same situation here with Jinx and Vi.
If JND got the license you'd be paying $500+ for a basic 1/6 figure.Arcane was an absolutely amazing series. It has become my favorite animated show of all time, and probably in the top 10 series period. I don't know anything about LoL lore, but my son and one of my nephews are pretty big fans. Unfortunately, Hot Toys is probably the worst company to Riot could have given the 1/6 license to. Sure, the sculpt quality will likely be excellent, but these are 3D files. So it's mostly about overall art direction and the production pipeline.
For now, I'm holding on preordering Jinx as I'm not interested in a one and done. While it's possible HT could surprise everyone and actually produce a line of figures, their track record would suggest maybe 2 or 3 figures (one of those probably a tease that never sees the light of day) followed by crickets. I'm pretty significantly scaling back what pieces I'm picking up these days due to constant rinse and repeat and out of control prices, but I'd probably go down the rabbit hole with an Arcane line.
It's too bad the license didn't go to JND or Queen. In the case of either of those companies, I think not only would they produce at least 5-6 characters, they'd offer an assortment of options and multipacks.
This would be my JND/Queen list (HT would never come close):
2nd Wave
- JINX/POWDER—kid Powder, late teen Jinx, alt universe Powder, final battle Jinx (Special bonus: Isha)
- VI—teen Vi, young adult Vi, enforcer Vi (other looks?)
- EKKO—kid Ekko, Firelight Ekko, alt universe Ekko, final battle Ekko
- CAITLYN—Enforcer, General
- JAYCE—Hextech visionary, h#llscape
- VIKTOR—HexCore visionary, reborn prophet/healer, final stage
- MEL—Council, Magic armor
- AMBESSA—Battle armor
- VANDER/WARWICK
- SILCO—Zaun, alt universe
- MYLO & CLAGGOR—teens, alt universe young adults
- SEVIKA (slot machine arm)
- SINGED (music box and partial mechanical daughter)

Not when they're charging $400 for a "basic" version of a figure under their own line, with sculpted hair. Licensed figures would definitely have an increased price.For rooted hair, yes. Which I'd be okay with. However, I'm sure sculpted hair would be quite a bit less.
Alternatively, Riot could have gone with someone like ThreeZero or Asmus.
When it comes to this line, get those two names out of your ****ing mouth!For rooted hair, yes. Which I'd be okay with. However, I'm sure sculpted hair would be quite a bit less.
