Which Groot Carol ?

I was thinking the regular Groot version should have shipped by now.

Premium Groot

Postby **glowfunkofreak** » Fri Jan 16, 2015 9:37 am

I think they are all labeled Premium though, what edition size is this one .. is it the 5000 LE ?

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Fri Jan 16, 2015 9:42 am

How many are there ? Two and one is an E.E. exclusive....since it's from Gemini, it's the 5000

Postby **funkystark** » Fri Jan 16, 2015 9:46 am

Cool, I'm excited to see these getting out in the public. Now I want someone to buy one and open it for pictures, I'm on the fence about buying this one. Trying to stick to 6" Hikari only.

No .. there are more, I'm just not sure which have released yet. I only bought into the 5000 LE one though.
That's only one I plan on getting, I don't need a forest in my apartment. lol

Thought there were the standard brown one and the E.E. excl Planet X

Wonder when my toy tokyo order will ship...

Postby **jayypee09** » Fri Jan 16, 2015 9:56 pm

Got my shipping notification from Gemini today. Can't wait to receive my first Hikari!

Just saw a pic of the regular 5000 edition one on Instagram and it's VERY nice.

Eh, why ruin the surprise for people? lol

You can easily see it by searching under hashtag: #funkohikari

I'm starting to think I'm the only one who ordered from toy tokyo lol

I just realised mine also shipped from Gemini as well.

Is there a way to track the item with their new website? When I login it says I've made no orders :-s

Got these in at work-they're HUGE! I know Groot is tall but I wasn't expecting it to be so big lol

Postby **Poncho Pete** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 9:22 pm

Oooh! So exciting!

Can you post a pic!?

Just picked mine up! My local hot topic got 2 of these babies and I got the last one. man, are they detailed! I found myself staring at it for a whole at my desk. Thanks to Hot Cash, it wasn't as expensive, but I don't regret this purchase.

Postby **Poncho Pete** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 8:38 am

Can't wait for Toy Fair. I have a feeling it will be exploding with new hikari including some serious groot variants.

Postby **Trogg** » Sun Jan 25, 2015 7:30 pm

Just picked up 1 of these groots. Local HT also got 2. The detail is amazing especially in the hands on on his back. My 1st hikari so far.

Postby **xmaldigolax** » Mon Jan 26, 2015 1:09 am

I am so upset that this never hit the web, I would have grabbed him with hot cash and cancelled my toy tokyo order. They have not responded to any of my inquiries and I am getting frustrated.

Postby **a99kitten** » Mon Jan 26, 2015 12:22 pm

Received mine and LOVE HIM!

Postby **saban** » Mon Jan 26, 2015 6:06 pm

My local HT had these in as well. Very detailed and very nice overall. If I didn't spend all my Hot Cash early on in the sale this would totally be my first one. Only thing is for a 5000 release it seems a bit expensive.

Grumbling...Toy Tokyo is killing me.

Postby **funkystark** » Tue Jan 27, 2015 1:41 am

So torn.. I want one but can't justify the size difference...

I'm in a similar boat, but not about the size difference (because it works for Groot), but because I can only get one version and I'm waiting to see which different versions Funko are going to release. I like these "regular" versions a lot, but I love my Hikari shiny/translucent/glittery/colorful.

So I sit and wait. SW6

Did you see the different Groots from TT's booth at comic con? They all have this regular look except this greenish one there, maybe there are more we haven't seen?

Postby **AbelBeja** » Tue Jan 27, 2015 8:53 am

I can't wait for that green Groot to be released!

Postby **xmaldigolax** » Tue Jan 27, 2015 11:27 am

So, I just found him on ebay for $52 instead of the $78 I paid to toy tokyo. I tweet and email them asking about this and they never answer. I just emailed them for cancellation of the order. If they don't cancel I am taking action with paypal. I want my darn Groot.

Postby **AbelBeja** » Tue Jan 27, 2015 11:37 am

Doesn't seem like you're having much luck with them :/

I did Kai and I'm semi-patiently waiting for that green Groot to make an appearance. I'm not gonna lie, I would love an Infrared or NVS version better though lol

I saw the Groot Hikari in HT yesterday and I've got to say it is very very nice!! I really like it!

Postby **zenith10** » Wed Feb 04, 2015 7:11 am

Just received mine in the mail today. Looks incredible. You can easily mistake it for real wood. Glad I preordered the EE exclusive too. Easily my favourite Funko piece ever. And I'm really a Pop collector.

Postby **xmaldigolax** » Wed Feb 04, 2015 7:44 am

I wish it wasn't so pricey i want the Planet X Groot as well!

Postby **epascual22** » Thu Feb 05, 2015 12:58 pm

It looks like the green one is a Hot Topic Exclusive (announcement through popvinyls.com) and will be in the stores in a month or two. I'll be getting all the variants for Groot!

Postby **ShoMeNodder** » Thu Feb 05, 2015 12:59 pm

Cool looking

My sentiments exactly with the new Pops coming and the Vinyl Vixen line, not to mention what else is coming for Hikari, I think I'll be working just to be able to buy Funko. LOL. Have to admit, the figures make me happy all lined up and displayed in my room.

:dumbo:
