Vaginae is correct.
'Octopus' is derived from Greek, hence the inapplicability of Latin pluralisation.

I'm not disputing it's a plural
I suspect that someone noticed the word vagina and being a smug git, proclaimed that the plural be vaginae rather than vaginas "so it fits the rule".

The same sort of smug gits who say prospecti instead of prospectuses.

Though
the plural of verruca is verrucae, which kind of ruins the advert's tagline "bazooka those verrucas". Accurately, it should be 'Bouzouki those verrucae"

OK
Vagina is a medical word coined the 1680's. It comes from the Latin vagina meaning a scabbard or sheath. So I think we can assume the plural has always been vaginae, as I can't imagine a 17th century man of medicine anglicising the plural when at that time nearly all scientific and medical writings were written in classical Greek or Latin, English being considered a peasants language.

Now you mention it
scabbard is a far better word.

Wasn't it "Bazooka that verruca" ?
