Patrick Ballesteros Glub Glub
The Average Nerds recently interviewed Patrick Ballesteros and he mentioned that he's done a Hikari before.
I'm hoping to one day add it to my collection. It's an LE88 piece so I know it'll be tough to hunt for.
Was anyone here able to grab one?
If Funko brought back Hikari and did more collabs with artists/illustrators which artists would you want to see do a Hikari?

After the interview with Patrick Ballesteros and he mentioned Glub Glub, I felt like many in the chat were already searching where they can buy the Glub Glub... including myself
May the odds be in our favor

Some of the Mindstyle/Asia hikari were super hard to get. They were some of my favorite designs so I wish they were more available.

Re: Patrick Ballesteros Glub Glub
It wasn’t hard to get at the time. Patrick sold about 15 of them himself and doodled for free on the ones he sold. The rest were sold at the Toy Tokyo/Funko pop up held in a separate location a few streets away from the convention center.

Those MINDstyle pieces are definitely beauties. I'm hoping Funko will bring back some form of sofubi some day. What do you think of the idea of POP! Sofubi? They'd probably have to be bigger than the 3.75" :P

You mean anyone other than mine? Not sure. I know of another funatic who has been looking for one for a while. Funko hikari seem to be buried in collections and closets right now. They really don’t surface as often as I would have thought.

Holy cannoli!!!! Sorry, I didn't realize that was a doodle on the back of the box! @___@ I thought that was part of the box design because he incorporated a border and everything. Looking closely at it now, that is RAD!!!
Did you leave it to his choice or did you have him do those in particular? Curious to know what his thought process was like if he shared it with you.

He doodled everything from his own brain. This one was actually was a gift from a friend but I do not believe he made a request of any kind. Not sure if they were pre-doodled, can’t remember that very well.

Such an awesome gift! If you ever connect with your friend again and bring this up, please see if they were able to pick Patrick's brain a bit regarding the doodle.
I could totally see that Patrick might've pre-doodled these since he's always busy during cons.
Actually...if you don't mind...would it be ok if I shared this image with Patrick and see if he might have some insight? I can report back if he replies :P

You may have already seen them but they did some hikari xs for a small time period. They’re not really the same quality as the regular sized ones.
I can see them maybe coming back but not likely. Funko doesn’t seem to bring back retired lines.

Oh yeah! I do have one of a Freddy Funko and Chopper from Star Wars Rebels. Those were pretty cool.
You're probably right about them not bringing them back T-T Kinda like how Brian recently answered someone's Q&A and said that Dorbz aren't likely to come back any time soon T-T
It's kinda like my hopes that VYNL would come back too. All of these are underrated product lines too

How would we even go about finding this Hikari? Ebay has been dry for a while.

Man, the Glub Glub has always been super elusive. I kicked myself for not buying one at the SDCC Mindstyle Hikari pop-up shop. I've seen very few pop up on eBay over the years and always at a price that was more than I was willing to spend.

Guess that means a least it’s likely being held by some true fans/collectors. Always disappointing by when the people who actually want them have to fight with people just trying to make a buck.

You mean anyone other than mine? Not sure. I know of another funatic who has been looking for one for a while. Funko hikari seem to be buried in collections and closets right now. They really don’t surface as often as I would have thought.[/quote]
Holy cannoli!!!! Sorry, I didn't realize that was a doodle on the back of the box! @___@ I thought that was part of the box design because he incorporated a border and everything. Looking closely at it now, that is RAD!!!
Did you leave it to his choice or did you have him do those in particular? Curious to know what his thought process was like if he shared it with you.[/quote]
He doodled everything from his own brain. This one was actually was a gift from a friend but I do not believe he made a request of any kind. Not sure if they were pre-doodled, can’t remember that very well.[/quote]
An update: My buddy bb206 surprised me with a Glub Glub as a gift this past Funkon II trip!!! T-T
So happy to finally add this piece to my collection! I will definitely need to do a photoshoot at some point and perhaps have Patrick sign it during a con

That is a pretty cool design. I do not like all Hikari, but when done well they are very nice.
