Whenever there’s a slow Marvel toys news week, I know there’s one company I can count on almost without fail to give me something to talk about. And once again, Funko doesn’t disappoint me. Just one week after their LE 1000 Dangerous Spider-Man Hikari figure went up for order, another of the Funko Hikari Spider-Man vinyl figures has appeared for sale! For the moment you’ve got to order from Australia if you want this one, but I have a hunch that the Funko Hikari New Dimension Spider-Man vinyl figure will be making his American debut shortly…

Another week, another Spider-Man! After an aggravating wait period following San Diego Comic Con 2014, Funko has finally begun to roll out their Marvel Hikari Sofubi figures! Following up on the previous pre-orders for Blaze Spider-Man and the aforementioned Dangerous Spider-Man, another one of the half-dozen Hikari Spider-Man figures shown at San Diego Comic-Con has officially shown up for sale now: the Funko Hikari New Dimension Spider-Man.

The Funko New Dimension Spider-Man Hikari is probably the absolute closest to a plain “classic” Amazing Spider-Man vinyl Hikari as any of the prototypes shown off at SDCC 2014. The iconic red and blue colors of Spidey’s costume are present, as are the black outlines on his eyes. Some might balk at the metallic gradient red-to-silver on his costume, but I think it looks stellar.

At a glance, this look very close to the Blaze Spider-Man Funko Hikari figure that was put up for order over the summer, as the two vinyls share the same limited edition size of 1500 and even the same color scheme. But those who are familiar with Funko Hikaris know that there’s a huge difference between the metallic and clear glitter Hikari Sofubi vinyls. While I’ve already got the Spider-Man Blaze Hikari on order, I know I’ll be helpless to resist the Hikari Spider-Man new Dimension figure as well.

The Funko Hikari New Dimension Spider-Man figure has not been announced for a North American release yet, but stay tuned–I have every confidence he will be, and I’ll update here and to the Marvel Toy News Facebook Page once he does.

How do you like the newly-confirmed New Dimension Spider-Man Funko Hikari figure, Marvel fans? Is this the classic-styled Spider-Man Hikari you’ve been waiting for, or do you prefer the crazier colorways?
