I hope they chest piece is removable at least. I like the vest and buckle look, showing some tattoos and scrapes.

I fear it won't...
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.
I wish I could do this.
It doesn’t matter to me at all what outfit she comes in. It’s VI. It’s Arcane. It’s going to be on my shelf at some point in the future. That enough for me to be happy about. Glad to see this thread today! I’m excited for it!!
But they're probably not gonna make every version.
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.

I suspect this was a Riot decision more than a Hot Toys one. It stands out to me that Nendoroid didn't make a S1 Jinx, but announced the S2 Finale Jinx almost immediately after the last episode aired. That obviously shows Riot sent out that look specifically to Nendoroid to make, and unless we think Hot Toys busted out this prototype in a month, they were clearly sent the finale Vi look early.
Riot added the finale Jinx as a skin to LoL, but they also added the "Brawler" Vi look, and if you notice, Brawler Vi has the same pants and uses the same gauntlets as the finale Vi. I have a suspicion that the Hot Toy figure will include the black jacket and double as both looks. I hope that means two headsculpts, one with the full red hair from the finale, but I am suspicious that the only bit of hair we can see in the preview is the same bit of hair that is red in the LoL skin.

I'm kind of surprised that they didn't include some extra left hands for Jinx to make her episode 2 through 6 Jinx (and technically season 1 episodes 4 through 9) not just 4 through 6.
It is odd that Vi doesn't match Jinx, but of her three new looks in season 2, this one makes the most sense. Personally, I love the black look.

Only small correction would be that this Jinx has the Shimmer in her, so the earliest it is season 1x8. But yeah, I was also hoping for extra left hands and the ‘pew pew’ hands.

Good point. The eyes and all. She definitely needs some pew pew hands.
