Wow! This is the only time in my life I wish I lived in NY

Postby **Direwolfdark** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 2:13 pm

Wow! There are some really nice looking colorways available for the Hikaris. I love that Pyro White Bone Demon and Bloody Red Dragon King! I wish I lived closer at I would love to get my hands on one!

The link isn't working for me

EDIT: Nevermind it's working now

This looks awesome! Mostly likely will go to this instead of the parade. What's TT Underground though? Is that the back of the store where they have their art shows right? Either way I want that Dragon King!

Postby **swind15** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 4:33 pm

I'm definitely going to this now haha. I want that Dragon or Kappa!

Lucky there's 4 dragons.

hoping to score one

Postby **Trixt** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 6:23 pm

I really like that dragon king too. Not holding my breath on ever seeing this variant but I would love the chance to own a version of him someday.

I agree that the price is pretty steep this go around, but these are ultra rare. Limited Edition of 4 or 10 is INSANE! And for the record, they are painted. $\:D/$

$145 is for the grab bag, you only have to purchase a regular hikari in store that day to get a raffle ticket for the Freddy.

Postby **saintofspinners** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 6:58 pm

I love these Hikari's but that kind of price is turning me off. I am paying $30 - $100 for one off sofubi hand paints on average so this just seems crazy.

I'll just do the 2000 runs at the not so cheap $50 ;-)

That's just my opinion though and I should be a little silent and not ruin it for others. So many toys and we all go a little to crazy for something.

Postby **Colonel Churro** » Wed Oct 29, 2014 7:02 pm

I just look forward to seeing some familiar faces (and other new ones maybe?) that day! I can only stay for a lil bit but hope to at least see these awesome looking things in person. ;-)

I'm actually more excited for the grab bag Asia Hikaris, than the 1 Freddy Hikari. That's not to say that I wouldn't be thrilled if I actually won it. lol

I'm so bummed about these! I don't live in New York, but I would SERIOUSLY consider taking the bus from Boston to New York Friday if I thought that there would be enough Red Kitty Tickets to get a Hikari. After New York Comic-Con, though... *shudder*

I love the Candy Corn colorways to death. I can only imagine how much I'm going to have to try to pay for one of those online!

Do you really think there will be 38 people (one ticket per person) to pony up $144 for a ticket for a random Asia Hikari on Halloween night?
Most people who I spoke to on line at NYCC were there for Pop exclusives.

You'd be surprised what people in this city will line up for...

Wow, $138 seems like a lot, but they are sharp looking. I work in Manhattan, will get a reg. Hikari and a raffle ticket. Hope to meet meet some collectors. Never been to the store looking forward to it.

I got a text from Trixt last night asking if I wanted to drive all the way to New York for this. >.> SO I think there are some crazy people out there.

That's not a horrible drive. And spending Halloween in the city is a once in a lifetime experience.

I'm still debating if I want to do this. I have no halloween plans but honestly all I like is the dragon and the Fredyy..

I feel the same way, $145 to randomly get 1 hikari is a big gamble....

Postby **MaxGoof** » Fri Oct 31, 2014 2:04 pm

If any of you decide to do this and get a Hikari you don't like, you can always sell it to me. I like them all. =P

Not gonna spoil it for that person but yes, someone on the forums got a Dragon King! 3/4 were picked last night.

Postby **sh3l8y** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:51 am

Damn there's was still some left?
I wonder if they'll be for sale today then- I'm hitting up the store this afternoon!

Postby **Funko5ker** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:59 am

those are some really nice colorways. love the dragon king. hopefully a less limited version is released somewhere down the line.

Yes! The one and only Juansla won the 1/1.

Postby **glowfunkofreak** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 9:28 am

None of anything extra will be available at the store Lev specifically said the other pieces go back to Mindstyle.

Sorry to say people, but if you didn't attend the actual party or someone you know attended and was able to help you out don't count on getting any of these pieces. They are even cooler in person, very limited, and will go for huge bucks when people decide to sell if they ever do.

Postby **sh3l8y** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 9:35 am

Aw man
Yeah I saw one on ebay last night for around $300

I hope they make other sculpts in these color ways at least

Postby **Colonel Churro** » Sat Nov 01, 2014 11:36 am

There were 3 folks there that were not part of the forum or Facebook pages that got some of those for the sole reason to put em up on ebay and see how much they could get (one of them pulled a dragon and it sold for 500 bucks). I'm just glad I won that freddy and was able to spend some awesome time with great folks (apart from the guys that really don't appreciate the art but, unfortunately, you will have those at every con trying to turn a profit quickly). And no, he won't be going on ebay, he's not for sale, and he is not for trade. Yes, I'm serious. I'll post up a pic of it when I get a chance. All of those hikari are amazing!
