My only Hikari
Hi I just wanted to share my only Hikari: Golden Spider-Man LE 750
I bought him from a store called Wild Bill’s. I don’t know how many of you know of Wild Bill or his store but he was a friend of Mike Becker and a collector of all things! After he passed away a few years ago, his children couldn’t keep the store going. I was able to acquire some older cooler Funkos, including the spider man, when they went on sale. I wish the store was still around it really was an overwhelming adventure of nostalgia when you walked through there!
If you haven’t heard about Wild Bill and his wild store definitely take a look at the Facebook page!

Re: My only Hikari
Wild Bill is definitely a legend around here. It's sad that his store couldn't stay open.
Great pick up though, I love Hikari and wish the line was still alive.

Re: My only Hikari
Dang, that's a nice one! I didn't even know there were Marvel Hikari. I used to have a Creature From the black Lagoon Hikari but solf him since he didn't really fit my collection.

What a nice piece you have! I love Hikaris and mainly have Spideys, Captain America and Ironman from Marvel! Space consuming in tiny Singapore, but they look good!

I've considered selling mine as well bc he's pretty much the only marvel I have in my collections but its a memento from Wils Bill's so I keep him!

I would definitely have at least a few of these but they're so expensive!

Thanks! I actually gave it to a friend who wanted it for her husband as an anniversary gift, I’m glad I have this photo!
But since then I also got a Cthulhu two pack!

I like it! One Hikari leads to two...leads to three. They are great figures.
I am not in danger, I am the danger! A guy opens his door and gets shot and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks!

I always thought these were very cool and love seeing the old school funatic's collections on here. I can't remember if they have a Superman or not.
