It’s crazy how HT operates though. Mismatching things. Even if they didn’t go with Pit Fighter Vi (cleaned up) that pairs 100% with the current Jinx figure, it would’ve been preferable to get Enforcer or standard red jacket Vi.

conclusion= I gonna buy every single arcane figure that ht release.

red jacket version? black hair?doesn't matter, I just buy it all.

therefore I dont need to choose regarding which version I want.

Peace in my mind.
 
I'm still very happy Arcane is even being made, but I might need some outfit options for Vi and at least a figure of Cupcake before going all in.
 
Did some light internet digging and the first promo material posters for S2 were released June ‘24, and it showed “standard” red jacket Vi along with “standard” Jinx.

These looks, imo, are what Hot Toys/RIOT should’ve based the figures on. Jinx wouldn’t have had the mechanical finger (imo, who cares).

Then, as the promotional stuff was ramping up, Vi was shown as ‘Enforcer Vi.’ Jinx was the same, in her standard look without mechanical finger.

Then we got this poster in October ‘24, a month before season drop, which still shows Enforcer Vi but now with the addition of Jinx’s mechanical finger.

That all being said, I think standard red jacket Vi and Standard Jinx should’ve been the way to go. OR Enforcer Vi and Standard Jinx. But I get it, this company is all about making potential money so there’s potentially this Finale Jinx on the horizon.

Edit: and now current Jinx figure is left alone without a true and accurate companion unless they made “clean Pit Fighter Vi” which most also didn’t really prefer from what I’m seeing. Me personally, I’m cool with the Jinx they went especially since they didn’t go with an ideal Vi. Its fitting too since “Your big fat hero” can easily be a standalone piece.
