Took mine out to inspect it, yes, I opened it. Collector friendly packaging people. Very nice work. Soft vinyl, very clean paint lines. Comes with a hand numbered card at the bottom of the package. Mine was 270 of 500. Overall, great start, if this trend continues I think they are well worth around the 50 bux price.

Also am I missing something? Were these suppose to light up? Or was that intended only for the original tube packaging and was later changed? In any case, solid work throughout!

Do the arms move?

Postby **Pumpkin King** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 8:03 pm

Sorry didnt check. Head moves though, I imagine the arms do as well.

How is everyone displaying these? In box or out????
Also, where do they put the card? with the number on it in the box? (ex 342 of 500)

Postby **Pumpkin King** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 8:48 pm

Bottom of the inside of the box. I dunno, wanted to open it and inspect it. That way I would determine whether I was going to buy more or not. Deff will.

I will prob end up opening them for display I think and keeping the box safe. Depends on where I decide to display them and how many I come home with after con.

Postby **BigM** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 8:55 pm

I want to take them out of the box since they don't have the LED light feature anymore. I haven't seen any in person yet but I've been hearing positive things about them so far.

Postby **Pumpkin King** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 9:21 pm

Yeah they easily slide out of the packaging and back in with no harm done. You cant even tell.

Postby **grandpa_stern** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 9:48 pm

I think they dumped the light feature when they got rid of the tubes, but there was never any solid confirmation...till now!

I've got a lot of these coming my way, so I'm glad to hear you liked them!

Postby **Pumpkin King** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 11:06 pm

Yeah the light was left out due to the packaging change.

I think you will be happy with these. They are way nicer than Pops as far as quality goes.

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 11:26 pm

From what i understand, they are all hand painted.

Postby **ahaubert80** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 11:31 pm

These look outstanding! I can't wait to get the Batman and Creature figures I have on pre-order!

Postby **Pumpkin King** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 11:38 pm

Yes the paint is much better on these Carol.

Postby **BigM** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 2:40 pm

I figured the lighting would make it more expensive.

Postby **grandpa_stern** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 4:16 pm

A little throw-away LED? Nah. Probably cost 10 cents. I should have my NVS Batman and Metal Mix Leonardo soon. Also paid the lowest price, so yah! Thanks neighbors to the North!

Postby **grandpa_stern** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 9:00 pm

Wasn't sure about pics and posting, so I have links to some Batman NVS shots. If this isn't right, please let me know in a PM and I'll do whatever needs to be done.

This one shows the size between a Hikari and a Pop!. The 'schlager is used as reference.

While they aren't as big as I thought they might be, they are much bigger than a pop.

Postby **ahaubert80** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 9:45 pm

Thanks for the pictures Josh! These are actually quite a bit bigger than I expected. I thought these would be about the same size as a Pop.

Postby **grandpa_stern** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 11:02 pm

Yeah, they a nice size. If you're interested, I'll put up pics of the others as they come in. I had a problem staying away from these! lol

Postby **egoing74** » Sat Jul 19, 2014 5:07 am

I didn't realize until recently, these are actually a collaboration between Funko and vinyl designer MindStyle.

Postby **Funko5ker** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 10:32 pm

Some pictures I saw posted on popvinyls.com. Sneak peak at some new Hikari pieces at the Mindstyle booth at the con. Love the Spideys.

Freddy Creature anyone?

Postby **Pumpkin King** » Wed Jul 23, 2014 10:48 pm

Dat pink Creature...yea!

Postby **Funko Pop! Fan16** » Thu Jul 24, 2014 7:49 am

Someone give me a Creature and no one gets hurt
Those look awesome, so do the Spidermans!!!!

Astroboy, where did he come from?

Postby **MaxGoof** » Thu Jul 24, 2014 10:43 am

I'm a bit confused about these Hikari figures, what with them being so limited and all. Are these intended to be sold in actual retail stores or are they all online exclusives?

Postby **tylerjd1234** » Thu Jul 24, 2014 11:51 pm

I wasn't overly keen on TMNT or Batman Hikari, but I definitely need that Astro Boy!! And the Creature's look awesome! Love the gold/sparkly one to the left of the Freddy-creature, looks so good.
