NYCC 14 Exclusive Astro Boy Hikari Vinyl Figures by Funko

New York Comic Con 2014 Exclusive Astro Boy Hikari Vinyl Figures by Funko - Rice Candy Edition & Pyro Edition

The Blot’s had some pretty mixed feelings about Funko’s new line of Hikari vinyl figures. Some of these officially licensed pop culture figures have looked awesome, while the sculpts of other Hikari figures have looked pretty terrible. To be honest, I’ve tried to ignore the bad ones and focus on the Hikari toys I do like. Take for instance, these amazing Astro Boy Hikari!

Osamu Tezuka's iconic Mighty Atom gets the Funko Hikari treatment this October, and Toy Tokyo will be releasing the figure’s first two colorways exclusively at New York Comic Con 2014! First up is the Botan Rice Candy Edition and the Pyro Edition. I love both versions, but the how crazy is that Pyro colorway with its beautiful melted crayon façade!?! This one is going to be especially hard to get as it’s limited to just 88 pieces.
