Anybody Think Hikari will Blow up?

[Submyst]

FAAAAAACCCCKKKKKKK THE HIKARI!!!!!!!!

seems that the 6'' and 10'' pops is where its at now

[Submyst]

I've seen someones collections on their sig. and it looks so nice. A collection like it would go great next to a movie theater perhaps.

[bspears82]

I wish it did take off. I really liked this line.

Why are Hikari so expensive? It's always something I've wondered. Usually, Funko products are pretty affordable at retail price.

They're Sofubi, and its typically expensive. I only have a few pieces that I love

Ahhh I see. I had a feeling it had something to do with the material. Thank you!

No problem at all I'm glad they don't have any Horror ones or I'd be in trouble. especially since they typically do a few variants per character

Hate to repeat an answer, but has anyone tried filling them with fireworks? I feel like that would guarantee it, i mean they are made of soft vinyl, doesn't seem that out of the question that they would blow up.

I think Sid tried it, but then the toys turned on him....

Sid was a visionary. Those toys are tyrannical.

I tried the fireworks method once and documented my efforts. See footage below.

Have you seen the candle of this scene that was made!? It's a classic!

[evrythngzen]

My husband has a bunch and honestly, I think they're his favorite line but he feels like they are dying out. They were kind of pricey so it was harder to buy a bunch but they're also bigger, more detailed, more unique. I would like to see a resurgence just because I know he loves them so much.

[g3ohss]

Hope to see some new ones soon

[FuegoGlorious]

, no

[Thehueys]

I’m still hoping they do. I think the starting price point is what turns most people away.

[ghostrye]

Honestly, I can’t even remember the last Hikari that came out...but I still love the look and size of them. I would love to see a couple new sets for endgame

It's been a while. 2017 10 Days of Christmas red glitter Huckleberry Hound was the last full size Hikari release. Not looking so good these days

[AjFunkoDude]

If they stay at the current price they are at, I'd highly doubt it.

They are priced pretty cheap when compared to kaiju vinyl toys in japan, where they typically go for $100+........each.

[AjFunkoDude]

Lol, I really want to collect some more now. It barely hit me how cool they are!

They start to grow on you! I mean, I only collect the Disney characters but they're pretty cool.

I agree, as I started with one that I like it slowly grew on me and on it went haha.

[Chernabog]

It's weird how they have a page on here for it still when it's disappeared

Wow. I had no idea the last one was so long ago. At work resources were shifted to producing newer product like 5 star. Bummer.

Crazy to think it's been that long. There doesn't seem to be a demand for them but I do enjoy the Megazord from Power Rangers they produced a while back. If done properly, I think they could make a comeback. Nobody wanted Dorbz until the GoT Direwolves, granted it had that LE sticker to help move it along.

Still a viable line with a small but strong fanbase. Much like Wobblers and other lines that still have a presence around here. Not officially ever cancelled either. When I asked last summer I was told Hikari was just "on hiatus to allocate resources to some higher profile lines". I would love to still believe this is the case but only time will tell.

[Thepopfamily]

They are cool but between variations and the higher price tag it makes people more hesitant to start I think. So while the low piece count is appealing to some the cost is not for all.

[franzsy0519]

The smaller Hikari figures are more to my liking, compared to the bigger ones (which have significantly higher price points). I've started collecting the little Freddy Hikari, love that they come in different colors.

Well, it’s time to come off hiatus and churn out a couple fun items. At the very least, they should have something for sdcc!

This is so true.

[JUSTlistIN]

I honestly thought it would

[MarvelPopFan75]

I had hoped that the Hikari XS would catch on because of the smaller size and much lower price point, but that doesn't seem to be the case. no matter, I will just enjoy the ones that I have and be grateful that Funko put them out.

[Nooklin]

Why would it take off now? What is the antecedent?

It would be nice, here's crossing fingers and toes and whatever other body parts you can cross

Well we are looking at a thread that was started in June 2017 when Hikari still had some life to it. Flash forward 2 years and now almost 16 months since the last full-size release I would sadly say the writing is on the wall.

Much like Dorbz (who at least still has some active life in them) people like to resurrect the "are they dead" thread ever so often. Bums me out but it is what it is.

[Nooklin]

I would have bought more hikari, but the price point was way too high. i was able to get a bunch at a local convention at $10 each. The guy had cases of various Transformers and Batman.
