I was being serious, not sure when or if it will be released to the public.

That's pretty awesome...I will keep an eye out for it because that's one that I definitely want in my collection.

[Warner]

That moment when you weren't planning on getting a Hikari line until "the one" comes out that will force you to buy most of the line....

[slim1977]

Might make a run at this, it's pretty awesome looking.

[poppetmaster]

I placed a bit....didnt win though. Did anyone on the board win? If so, I would be interested to know what the card says and what it is numbered. It SHOULD be #1 I assume.

I tried and didn't win either. It's possible that it could also be an artist proof on the card.

Or it's a very good repaint done by someone....which I hope is NOT the case!

Hopefully someone here won the auction, and eventually we will have some kind of answer.

wow this looks amazing. hope it turns out legit

[hpellot]

thanks for confirming it looks nice

[BigM]

I'm thinking about getting the Predator hikaris. Love the character and the variants that are coming out for it.

I'll wait til I hear more info about this before I search for it though.

He started showing up on EBay just a few days ago so I was looking for information of the item. I work on the Pop Price Guide so while trying to find references to this Hikari I hoped to find something here. There is a cryptic note on the end of the EBay listing which makes me leery of its authenticity..Seller added,"Was advised by eBay watcher this may be a 1 of a kind. (maybe demo/pre-production that never went live) as it is not/has not been sold before (that he believes)" Seems strange to me?

It's hard to say but I wouldn't lean either way since this is now the 3rd unreleased hikari I have seen on ebay. There has been the glitter 501st clone trooper, a white and blue dragon king, and this predator. The others were clearly not customs and still have not been released. Until funko officially releases any of these pieces it's merely a waiting game.

Is the glitter clone trooper you are referencing different from the one that is on Funko Shop right now? As for the blue and white dragon king, I have seen a number of those...even on ebay before. They were a 100 piece run, so I'm pretty sure that was released.

[Opinion8ed76]

True,I've seen 1 501st Clone Trooper Glitter Hikari that was sold in November and nothing since. I'll just keep an eye out for news or more appearances.

The thermal scan predator is safely in my collection. It is an Artist Proof........ Awesome.

The dragon king I'm talking about isn't even in Lev's collection.... and the 501st trooper on funko shop is NOT a glitter one.

You're not talking about this blue Dragon King?

No.... That isn't blue and white.

Here is my old thread so we can clear up the confusion:

Looks like the dragon king thread was purged since I can't seem to find it.

[Warner]

Here is the best image I can find of the dragon king I am referring to.

Nice! Happy to see it wound up in a collection of a Funatic.

I remember seeing that show up what, 6-8 months ago? It was after Comic-Con, maybe September/October?

Makes me wonder, where is the warehouse of unsold/unreleased HIkari? At the SDCC gallery they had several pieces I wish I would have picked up when I was there that I have never seen the leftovers surface online. Curious where they wind up.

Funko seems to be off-loading some on the new direct shop, wonder of we will ever see the Tiki, etc. show up on there.

[xmaldigolax]

That white/blue one was sold right out of Everett, maybe it was an employee or a funko tour person? maybe that guy will show up in the next starter kit? I seriously hope there is another pop life gallery in san diego this year. Gotta get Friki with some Tiki!

If there is another pop life it's probably going to be way more crowded this year than last. I was able to pick up everything I wanted and walk around while the place was almost empty.

so does that mean is this the only one made for now?

Should mean there is a batch in a warehouse somewhere awaiting a release window/announcement.

[haastyle]

Any announcement from Funko or an exclusive retailer at this point? I'm itching to get into the Hikari game & this is a must!
