Recommendations for a Newb

[ScarletFunko]

For all you Hikari fans out there I was wondering if I could get a little help. When I display stuff I usually like to have 3-4 of the same kind of product. Right now I have two, Fort Knox Cap and Metalflake Iron Man, so I am looking to pick up at least one more to go in a display with them. So for those of you that either have some or simply admire them but don't collect I'd like to hear your recommendations for which one(s) I should consider getting. And it doesn't need to by marvel either. So far here are a few I've kinda been looking at.....

-Classic Deadpool
-Infared Boba Fett
-626 Stitch
-Groot
-ASM2 Glitter Spider-Man
-Black Suit Spider-Man
-Hologram Vader

Thanks for any help in advance

The original Hologram Vader is still one of my favorites, great looking piece. Deadpool is a nice looking piece. With the 2 you have, the green glitter Hulk would look really sharp next to them. Spider-Man is nice but he's also one of the original HIkari and is a larger scale than most others. He is as tall as Groot is.

Check out what Mindoddity still has in stock, they had a bunch of Hikari REALLY cheap, like $15-20 each.

For Groot I would highly recommend regeneration green groot, that could be my favorite non-Astro boy hikari!

[homietrav]

I think the Frankenstein Hikari are great! You can find some good deals price wise on them too.
Cant go wrong with the original color way Vader and Boba Fett.

[Squird]

Regeneration Groot and Vader are pretty cool.

I'm not a fan of the Spiderman sculpt, even though I'm a huge Spidey fan so I would avoid them. Also, they're much bigger than other Marvel Hikari.

Thank you all so much for your responses, they are much appreciated!

Did not know that about Spidey! I like the hologram Vader a lot. I figured if there is a Hikari in the Star Wars year one box, assuming they make one of course, it'd probably be good to have a SW one. Deadpool is one of my favorite characters and he isn't too spendy either. But I really like that Infared Boba... I'll check out Hulk too. And I saw you posted that in another thread! I may get Groot from there but I'm trying to stick to eBay. I just got paid from a few friends on Paypal so I'd rather use that money up.

Oh wow just looked and he is awesome! I think I saw him in Hot Topic one time and even then thought he looked cool.

I was looking at all of those ones not too long ago. They do seem cool!

I'd like to have a Groot one and it seems like the regeneration one is a fave. Noted on Spider-Man, will avoid! Btw funny sig

So I think I have it narrowed down to a top three:

626 Stitch: $45 (a little high but I really like this one)


Infrared Boba: $36 (pretty much guaranteed buy for me atm)


Regeneration Groot: $57 (much pricier than I would prefer but SO COOL)


Also found this groot for only $35


What are your thoughts?

Get boba and groot, they look amazing in person

Almost all hikari look amazing in person honestly

Yeah I'm finding pictures really don't do them justice. Thanks!

[mohawkjones]

Pictures rarely do justice.

Regen Groot you should be able to find fairly cheap. He was a Hot Topic exclusive and at one point both on clearance and part of the "but one on clearance, get one for $1" sale.

I am a big fan of regular Groot and the BGV exclusive Annihilation Groot (which they have for $46 w/free shipping plus they have an eBay store).



Mindoddity still has regular Groot on sale for $20.

Infrared Boba Fett looks super sharp in person ($35 at Gemini right now). Gemini's Starfield Vader is a very cool piece as well.



PS: Classic Deadpool is $25 at Gemini also & they do take PayPal. Just saying...

[Sarcasticguy]

Groot is an amazing sculpt, i'd get both

[buf12sbr]

Matte black Vader is a personal favorite of mine

Cheapest I can find Regen Groot is $57

I picked up Infrared Boba Gemini had it on their eBay store for a great price. Whoa that Vader is awesome I'll take a look!

Thanks for the links and info Shawn

I ordered the Planet X one and if I like it I have no doubt the Regen one will be shortly behind him

Matte black Vader is a personal favorite of mine

That one is really nice. I'd like a Vader for sure but all of em look so nice so its hard to pick!

[ScarletFunko]

Does anyone here have the Lightning version of Vader? If so what are your thoughts?

[TheJobaFett]

It's not as eye catching as some of the other finishes but it's still a good looking piece

Agreed, I was slightly disappointed when I received mine. The body is a mostly matte black with some blur overspray on top of dome/head. I was thinking the blue was going to be translucent to better replicate the effect from the movie. Liked him enough to keep it but if I had known the look before I ordered online I would have skipped him in favor of another colorway.

[mohawkjones]

I do not have a close-up picture on hand but this will give you an idea...

[ScarletFunko]

Thanks yet again Shawn I do like how he looks honestly. Cuz I like the matte black with the blue. If you had to pick a fave what would it be?

Probably the Starfield since he's a nice blend of the traditional Vader colors with a touch of the translucent glitter HIkari flair. Though I also really dig the Holographic Vader, looks so sharp in the light...

[ScarletFunko]

And you have the first Holographic Vader right? Not the super glittery one?

It's a toss up between infrared (great color way) and glow holo (I'm a sucker for glow)

[TheJobaFett]

This is all of them, I can post close ups of any you want

[ScarletFunko]

That pic is super helpful, thank you! I'll have to check out that glow holograph one. I'm worried he's gonna be spendy though.

$49.99 on Gemini

Hey that's not bad! May pick him up next paycheck

[mohawkjones]

And you have the first Holographic Vader right? Not the super glittery one?

I have the first, non glow version. The glow is cool but I prefer the translucent blue & glitter along with the holographic foil strips inside the first version myself.

The first one is the super glittery one.

Ah gotcha. I found one for a decent price. I feel like if I buy anymore I will fall down another Funko rabbit hole

Killer pics Joba That Groot is amazing! I'm also digging the Stormtrooper on the left. Thanks for posting!
