Spotted by TFW2005 user almightymaximus, we have here our first pictures of two limited edition Funko Transformers Hikari Vinyl pieces. These indeed do seem to be new colors with Bumblebee sporting an icy white to blue look, and Optimus Prime sporting a more fiery look that transitions from white to a fiery orange-red lending to a dynamic juxtaposition when the two are next to each other. These pieces were found at a Barnes and Nobles in Connecticut, so be on the look out everyone and let us know what you think!

They look like those giant gummy bears they sell at the mall.
…I would love me a giant gummy transformer. Chewy candy goodness is the right of all sentient beings.

It looks too much like candy to me.

Damn. I didn't know this was news. The B&N I go to has had these for quite a bit.

These have been available on the BN.com website since July of last year. It seems that Optimus is currently unavailable for shipping.

How much do these cost. They really look like they would look awesome if there was a light inside.

They look delicious.

as seen here where Optimus & Bumblebee attempts to channel Gaogaigar's HoRyu & EnRyu like how Animated Jetfire & Jetstorm did but failed spectacularly doing so

Actually a lot of people are into these hikari they sell out fast and are made of quality vinyl material. If you don't like these there are colored correctly versions of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee and they are pretty big and have points of articulation (nor much like arms at shoulders rotate as well as the head. But still they're not complete statues.

I just don't get what they're thinking when they make these. They look awful to start with and then they're insanely over-priced.

They look like gummies but I've seen these for months

Nice Find

These have been available at specialty stores since at least February, I spotted them all over NYC when I was at Toyfair 2015. As far as "limited edition", well when you have 15 slightly different colorways limited to 1000-3000, I'm not too interested. These are awful.

I found these Funko Transformers Hikari Japanese Vinyl Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Limited Edition figures in new color at B&N retail store in Connecticut.
