Is this real? Never seen this one before. Very cool colors!

First i've heard of it.

He sure is pretty!

Why wasn't he ever available on the popular toy websites???

Postby **Bearoids** » Sat Dec 19, 2015 12:44 pm

I enjoy the description. Purple and Blue-ish color. $\:D/$

Haven't been following Hikari very closely...

Is 200 the lowest run we've seen for a retail piece?

No. Commercially, 100 I believe has been the lowest run (Stormtroopers).
There has been 1,2,3,4,5 etc of a kind but not available at retail.

BTW, this is the 5th Mickey therefore, there will be a 5th Buzz!!!!

Postby **Bearoids** » Sat Dec 19, 2015 1:21 pm

Maybe the Buzz will be a Blue Purple-ish color.

Found out this one is being sold at the Grapevine hotel in Texas (thus why both on ebay are located in TX). That's a Marriott hotel I believe. I don't think it its exclusive to the hotel but if it is, then out best bet is Popcultcha.

Finally a color I like!

I must have it...please provide more info when available :-)

Oh boy....I have not been enjoying the Popcultcha prices on the hiraki's. Nice work figuring this out.

i really like this one!

There is one on FB and the guy said he is in Florida. Not sure if he just came from Texas though.

Postby **mohawkjones** » Sat Dec 19, 2015 2:39 pm

Weird. Could it be a Gaylord resort exclusive? They have an Orlando resort as well. Such a bizarre venue for an exclusive if so.

That's what's was thinking Shawn... Maybe a Gaylord thing. There's one about 1.5hr away from me near the capital but I don't have time this weekend to go see if that's true

Postby **TulaBug** » Sat Dec 19, 2015 2:44 pm

This ebay sale wasn't at a BIN price of $249.00 when this thread started, was it?

Postby **thejosh2010** » Sat Dec 19, 2015 2:48 pm

CONFIRMED... This was bought at the gaylord texan hotel in Grapevine Texas, the wine capital (explains the blue and purple color)

Postby **Bearoids** » Sat Dec 19, 2015 2:49 pm

No I thought it was 199.00 when I looked. Could be wrong....have looked at a lot of prices on things today.

I think you are right. I wonder if this seller is a boardie and all our talk made them raise their price. lol

This has potential to be my 1st Hikari.

I'm calling them now. Think it would be in the gift shop? I live pretty close.

She called 4 different places checking everything from the kids gifts to the wine store...said none of them knew anything about it. Described the item very clearly.."purple Mickey Mouse with red eyes, blue-ish face, about 8" tall in a black box saying Disney on it"...

Do we have any collectors near Grapevine TX? ... It just seems odd this would only show up randomly at a specific hotel and not even tied to a specific event/con

Postby **KMFH11** » Sat Dec 19, 2015 4:13 pm

This is such a cool Hikari. Kinda reminds me of the Mickey Redux POP! from D23 expo a couple years ago.

You should try calling to the one in Texas. If they have it there, they might know exactly where and can provide more info if it is available only there.

This is the kind of thing that makes collecting Hikari a lot of fun. Out of nowhere...

I can not tell if you are making a sarcastic statement or not because this is so true. :eek:

I love Hikari but the "where do I get it?" nature of some pieces is so frustrating sometimes and the complete lack of info from Funko about them does not help. I would love a Godzilla and still kicking myself for not licking up a Tiki at the SDCC gallery since both are totally MIA since their limited con releases.
