1/6 Hot Toys - Arcane - Vi collectible figure

Damn. Really bummed that they're going for the final episode of S2 look here when Jinx wasn't. Makes no sense. Happy we're getting her but still.

I hope they somehow offer her red jacket look. It's way more iconic for her.

 

[HyperDrive]

Yep. Interesting they decided to go with the finale look.

 

[HyperDrive]

I wasn’t really planning on getting Vi anyway though, but because of the look they went with, I’m even more sure I’ll skip it. Jinx on her own perfectly encapsulates and represents Arcane for me.

If this is what they're going with she better a.) have defined biceps and b.) have the tattoos.

If I had to choose a season 2 look, this would be it, this one is preferable to the enforcer outfit or the oilslick outfit, but it's stupid to go with any of the season 2 looks when they all last mostly a single episode. (The season 1 outfit even has more screentime in season 2 than this outfit, I think).

I suspect they're going to make the finale Jinx, too, because Jinx is the money maker and Riot is definitely pushing that look in the merch, and that probably played a factor in this decision.

Wished it was season 1 vi

 

[JorjeCroft]

Not a fan of the outfit

 

[The Entity]

I was starting to get doubts, if we'd even see a figure of Vi since it was rather quiet after the announcement of Jinx and no Arcane at the Tokyo con.

Maybe not the ideal outfit choice, but luckily it isn't the emo-version. Regardless, I'm really looking forward to this! Vi is my favorite character.

And who knows, maybe the armor is removable and she'll come with the jacket anyway.

 

[Akiratang]

Aww not exactly the outfit I was looking for on VI. But beggars can't be choosers lol.

I'm guessing that was the 'easier' to make outfit, hoping you can switch it out but not holding my breath for that. Still a DOPO though cause it's the first and probably last 1/6 VI you'll ever see.

 

[Asta]

It's an odd choice to go for Vi's final battle outfit to pair with Jinx from the earlier episodes, rather than the more eye catching red jacket and striped trousers.

Howard may be playing the tactical game though. With no guarantee of another Vi people are likely to get this one anyway. If she sells well he has the opportunity to release the more 'classic' Vi later.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Classic Hot Toys. Really cannot understand the decision to go with this look.

 

[slynger]

Classic Hot Toys.

Sadly, this sums it up. Perfectly.

 

[powered convoy]

Excited for this but like almost everyone else this look makes the least amount of sense for pairing with their Jinx and isn't as iconic.

 

[HyperDrive]

It’s interesting cause technically, the only accurate Vi look that pairs with the Jinx (S2x4-6 based) is cleaned up Pit Fighter Vi. Again, S2x4-6.

 

[Akiratang]

Yeah as said before and with the general consensus, not our preferred look for Vi. We really wanted that Jacket look

But lets be real, most of us will still PO anyway, the fact that they made Vi at all is a miracle but also it could be a one and done sorta thing too.

"Finally, the reunion we all have been waiting for."
>Proceeds to make Vi from Episode 9 while their Jinx is from Episode 3 and on-wards, effectively making this "reunion" stick out.

Eh what can you do, Hot Toys pulled another one on us. I won't be shocked if they announce Jinx Episode 9 next.

 

[CupcakeMcGraw]

I wonder if they looked at this costume and said "Oh look, it's just a few plastic-cast parts over some incredibly basic clothing. That will be way cheaper to produce than the S1 look with all its patterns and multi-cloth tailoring required."

 

[HyperDrive]

This decision only makes sense if they choose to do Finale Jinx too, which I agree is being marketed and popping up in merch.

I honestly wish they would have given us S2x03 based Jinx and Vi figures. Jinx wouldn’t be missing a finger and she’d also be accurate to S1x8. It’s also my favorite battle in S2 and probably my fav track “To Ashes and Blood” by Woodkid.
