Funko Hikari - Prepare to be disappointed

[hathorcat]

Oh yikes! That is really disappointing. I am normally someone who very much points out these toys are cheap and mass market so we need to be more willing to accept the small issues. But this is clearly designed and priced as a collectible in limited quantities. That in itself should be enough to ensure better quality!

Good news everyone! After politely mentioning to PopCultcha that I had rights under Australian Consumer Law they have agreed to a full refund and have already sent a Post Return Label. I'll be able to send her back this weekend then receive my refund and wash my hands of this Hikari.

Glad to hear it!

This prompted me to go ahead and cancel my pre-order for the metallic one from Entertainment Earth.  Considering all the other things I'd rather spend money on right now, I can't justify spending $79 on something that I was expecting to be of better quality.  Maybe the metallic ones will turn out better, but I'll save my money for a variant I'm really looking forward to.

My Rainbow Dash Hikari has arrived today! This is my first Hikari figure, and I'm very pleased with her, she has a great paint job! No glue, big gaps, nothing like that. I would recommend her for sure she is quite the cool figure!

Definitely complain. You paid too much money to get something of such extremely poor quality! That is so disappointing!

Another person on the Funko forum got one too- and it sounds like there were no paint issues or gaps- but she very easily topples over (I think an unfortunate side effect of the design).

I suspect we may see at least the regular Rainbow Dash (who is not an exclusive) fairly cheap at some point on ebay so you might want to wait. (Edition was pretty big).

But... I do still hope they sell well enough to justify the gummy-candy and rainbow gradient looks...
