Remember that Marvel Comics crossover from a few years ago called “Siege”, where the Sentry rips Ares in half? Well, I’m picturing that scene as Funko continues their siege on my wallet, ripping my bank account in half with a parade of can’t-skip collectibles. Funko Hikari are my Kryptonite, and another pair have now been announced: the Funko Hikari Blue Deadpool and regular Hulk figures are now up for order! And with discounts, you can get them for almost half price! Read on…
Thankfully (for my sanity), the Hikari Deadpool Blue variant popped up for sale online today–and he even brought a friend: the unannounced regular version of the Funko Hulk Hikari!
First up, we’ve got the Hot Topic Exclusive Blue Deadpool Funko Hikari. Despite being incredibly obscure, we’ve gotten everything from Marvel Legends to POP Vinyls and now even a Hikari of the X-Men costume Deadpool. Gotta love that translucent blue glittery plastic!
This is my favorite Deadpool costume, so I’m pretty thrilled to see it brought to life in my current favorite Marvel line. And with a very smart LE 1000 run size, I think this Deadpool will end up being one of the strongest Marvel Hikari on the aftermarket.
Released alongside this X-Men Deadpool variant is the plain Jane version of the Hulk. Green skin, purple pants–this is a classic Hulk if I’ve ever seen one, and likely to be the preferred Hulk Hikari colorway for many collectors. I actually think the Metallic Hulk Hikari that went up for order last month is a lot snazzier than this one, but I know the wackiness of that mecha-Hulk like figure may bother some folks.
Because I’m a Hikari completist and could get him for $43 shipped to my local store after using discount codes, I went ahead and ordered the plain Funko Hikari Hulk figure so I wouldn’t have to hunt him later. With 2,800 Hulks out there, though… I can definitely see this Hulk being around at $30-$40 six months from now.
Both the exclusive Funko Blue Deadpool and regular Hulk Hikaris are available for order online right now, and are in-stock and ready to ship. In fact, there’s even an ongoing sale right now, so prices are discounted. And as of writing, you can use code “Twenty50” to get either figure for $43 shipped to your local Hot Topic. That’s almost half-price on two $80 figures just put up today!
I’m “all-in” for Funko Hikari vinyl Sofubi figures, so these were instant purchases for me (especially at their sale prices). Anyone else planning to pick up a blue Deadpool variant or plain Hulk while they’re cheap, or is even half price more than you’re willing to fork out for this style of figures?
I’ll wait for a price drop on Hulk so that he can stand beside my Groot.
Here on Oahu I saw couple Blue Deadpools figures looks awesome
