1/6 Hot Toys - Arcane - Vi collectible figure

[Mr.Tanker]

This looks great... but man, I wish it was the red outfit.

She looks fantastic. I do like her hair like this quite a bit. Like everyone else, this isn't the look I would have chosen but it makes the most sense given the season.

Looks absolutely fantastic but seriously this shot is killing me...

I know that for a lot of people this will be just fine to pose them together but I can't since they don't match. My hope is that this figure sells well and they do previous looks of Vi so I can get that version instead. But I'm also thinking a second Jinx from Episode 9 is highly possible... Damn you Hot Toys!

I hope we get to see Caitlyn and Ekko!

I think they’ll pull a reverse Uno and do Finale Jinx instead (most likely imo)

Overall the details are amazing. However, I just can’t get over they went with this look compared to the one that everybody (it seems) wanted. Classic HT.

I've seen that expressed everywhere. The Chinese BBICN forum thread has only had three replies, but the first one was:

I still want the red leather jacket from the first season, that one is more beautiful and handsome

There has to be some strategy behind it, or likely some licensor coercion.

I’m hoping it’s the classic HT strategy of “make them buy this and then we’ll release what they really wanted in the first place.”

I think it’s a license thing with Riot. If you look at the statue that Infinity teased for their Arcane license, it’s also this finale look and not her red jacket outfit:

Have a feeling Riot wants companies promoting this look over the other for some reason. Really a big shame. I know it’s a low chance of happening since these figures aren’t huge sellers but I hope a third party company or tailor offers the red jacket outfit on its own. Would gladly buy it that way instead of hoping Hot Toys does it.

I’m just glad she’s being made. Absolutely loved the show and am thrilled to be getting VI and Jinx. I don’t care one way or another about her costume. Glad they gave her the gauntlet's. They’re pretty iconic with her. She had some attitude..

There was no chance of her not having the gauntlets

Ya think!? So astute!

At least this look forced them to figure out how to do the tattoos. The red jacket they could've easily just not done them.
