Looks pretty amazing n.n

Wonder if it's a repaint or not. Seems suspect with the current Disney Hikari releases.

That does look pretty awesome!!

What do you mean by that? There was an original Predator hikari released a couple weeks ago that got no attention. Funko doesn't announce every hikari that gets released.

That's bad a$$ if I were to buy a predator it would be this one.

Pretty dope. Very vibrant. Would stand out real nice

Argh!!! I keep hoping for a clear glitter with green blood splash. Trying to keep to just 2 and I already have the bloody unmasked, this one is mighty tempting.

I'm glad I'm not rich. I wouldn't be able to resist Hikari!

I know they all don't get announced, but i'm pretty sure for 2016 so far i've only seen Disney Hikari actually for sale (aside from frankenstein last week)

Also, the thermal colors are a really popular repaint for the POPs, i wouldn't be surprised if this was a repaint.

I'm just skeptical, until we get a non-ebay link.

The description reads:

"Limited Edition 1 of only 500 pieces "

Do that mean it is a custom?

On the original post it says customs : https://instagram.com/kaier_customs/

I think that's Warner's IG, not the ebay lister

Correct

I hope it's not a custom because this would be a great production piece.

So cool!

It does look cool! I like the idea of a clear one with with green blood splatter too Shawn! :thumbleft:

Postby **TheJobaFett** » Tue Feb 09, 2016 10:03 pm

So, is this from the perspective of another Predator's thermal vision?

Postby **poppetmaster** » Tue Feb 09, 2016 10:27 pm

Interesting....I know there's a thermal ReAction figure, but if this is a legit Hikari, I WILL buy it. You hear that Alex? I WILL buy it.

First of all, they are called Yautja, calling them Predators is just racist!

I would LOVE a clear glitter predator...

I contacted the seller and here is what was said:

ME: Is this a custom/repainted masked Predator Hikari, or an actual Funko production piece? This color scheme has not been announced or shown up on any of the online retailers websites, which is why I ask.

SELLER: I worked for a distributor and this came directly from Funk to our VP. ( along with other styles). He gave them to employees at Christmas. It has never been taken out of the box and has intact seals to confirm.

SELLER: Have added more pictures of box

SELLER: I had previously said the item came from Funk but I don't know that for certain. It came to exec at Diamond and the box had not been opened, I assume it came from manufacturer. Does not look painted

Wouldn't it be speciest? Or planetist? Eff it, they killed Gary Busey, they are Predators!

The new photos in the listing clearly show that the sticker had been peeled on the box rofl, what a bold face lie by the seller.

Looks pretty legit to me. Not the first time we have seen an unreleased HIkari variant hit eBay first.

Where is the peeled sticker??

Postby **Sarcasticguy** » Wed Feb 10, 2016 2:30 pm

Circled the seal, it looks peeled up to me and then replaced.

I should have explained better, as I mean the plastic seal sticker dot they use on the top and bottom of the box.

Postby **Warner** » Wed Feb 10, 2016 3:12 pm

I have had a lot of brand new Hikari that have the sticker look like that over the top edge of the box. The bottom of that sticker looks as though it has never been peeled, with no picture of the top it is hard to say. But that "middle of the circle" portion often has the "unpeeled" look over the top edge of the box.

I mean they do have the ReAction version, so maybe this is legit? I would still wait until I heard something just to be sure....

Oh yea, that sticker looks messed with. However, I have had stickers popped up on the top without ever being opened. But that one DOES look picked at. Hmmmm....
