1/6 Hot Toys - Arcane - Jinx Collectible Figure

[HyperDrive]

Yeah but if they don’t make Vi it’s a problem imo. They’re both all over the marketing.

Vi should be made. I thought we were talking about the rest of the cast… lol

Hot Toys is happy to make a bunch of crap.

I agree. Of course.

Beetlejuice 2, a repaint of an awful Batgirl figure that didn’t sell out for years, Kidpool, Eternals figures, the ugliest Clone/Storm Trooper and Iron Man variants that you’ve ever seen, droids that are exclusively from comic books that most people haven’t read.

Repaints seem like they’re cost effective since they’re effectively using the same molds. The Arcane characters would all be new ground up figures.. They loved Deadpool and Wolverine, so they did more than just the two titular characters. They only made the Asian Eternals guy and because his counterpart is Angelina Jolie, they probably made her character. I mean it’s Angelina Jolie. Despite the lousy Star Wars trooper and Iron Man variants, they’re still from Star Wars and Marvel. Doesn’t stop them from being crap, but they're collectible. Beetlejuice 2, I’ll just chalk it to Hot Toys having an agreement with Sideshow and they couldn’t do the preferred first film version b/c of Sideshow. That and also because Hot Toys doesn’t mind doing “flavor of the week” crap which I don’t like myself that they do that but that’s probably another factor. Holy heck, I’m defending Hot Toys over here lmao

Arcane, and League of Legends, is insanely popular, I double they’d lose money on other figures. Market them under the Arcane branding and you get both fanbases in one.

I know it is. But LoL and Arcane designs are different. LoL character designs shouldn’t be under the Arcane label, imo. Really, I just think Jinx and Vi should be made for Arcane, but that’s just me!

But at the end of the day Hot Toys business strategies don’t matter to me, I don’t care about them, I’m gonna want what I want regardless.

I don’t think they’ll make more, doesn’t stop me wanting them to.

They should make Arcane Vi. And of course, people can want more and have wishlists!

But I just don’t think it’s that probable (or should be, IMO!)

One sign of hope is that from all their licenses Jinx is currently the header photo for Hot Toys' Facebook page:

As I know Arcane and LOL are super popular in Asia and even if HT won't do anyone else, I don't know why third party companies are sleeping under the rock. They are making so many random characters, nobody cares about. I don't mind Onetoys making them. Love their Jinx no matter what others say. Sometimes I think most of these companies aren't really passionate, they just through out random stuff and hope it sells.

That doesn’t mean anything only thing of note with that is it means Jinx was the last figure drop announcement for that day, and the most recent official announcement. It will be updated once Hot Toys officially announce another figure. (The Iron Patriot was an unveil, not the official announcement).


Edit: I’m raining on the parade but not because I want to I think Vi should be made and if they make more characters, even better for the fans of this amazing show! I’m just doubtful beyond Vi is all.

Well, everybody's favourite 1/6 Youtuber, Justin, thinks there's going to be a couple more based on the feedback so far.

When has Justin ever been wrong about anything?

Hope he'll visit HT and advices to glue on hair on Jinx's bangs

we’ll see!

I’ll stop being a party pooper too.

I’m just happy they made Jinx and that character representation is really all I need. I’ve been told I tend to like the MC’s.

Vi in the black version from the last season right?

Well, I hope he isn't wrong in this case. I really want a figure of Vi. And I wouldn't mind Caitlyn either. She became a favorite when rewatching season 1.

Well it raises an interesting dilemma, cause that’s the question: “which Vi do they go with?”

Since this Jinx is based on S2 and has the mech finger, the screen accurate companion Vi would be

Spoiler

S2 episodes 4-6

So which should they go with? Which is the Vi version people want?

I'd imagine it would be her look from episode 1, even though it doesn't match Jinx, just because it's mostly her default look for the majority of the series. Just like Jinx's is represented here barring her left hand.

Something that gets her the closest to this as possible. Though I love her mostly black look, it's not Vi enough.

Classic red Vi.

It's promising since the material feels so different. It's almost like a foamy rubber/silicone. If the material was really bad quality, you probably would have seen some elbow stress points by now. What kind of environment are you keeping your figs in? My stuff is in a temperature controlled, sun free and dust free room. I also have a dehumidifier to keep it around 35-50 humidity in the basement.

Same, in basement sun and dust free in a Moducase. Dehumidifier as well.
