Hikari merchandise is crafted in a way that reminds me of the old artstyles from Transformers, back when the toys were very simple in artstyle...Simpler times I guess?

I love the aging process on these miniatures, it's like holding a real aged Transormers toy, only it doesn't transform!

I think you are right on in mentioning the nostalgia for the old designs. I love all the new age stuff and how advanced everything is, but I also love taking it back and remembering where things used to be and where they came from. These are really a nice way of doing that, and I would think that a lot of people would love to have that little nostalgia sitting on their shelves. Good for them in making these, and I am betting that they will be a hot seller.

Cool, like those good old lead toy soldiers. I dig this aged-like sturdy artstyle. Looks like something from a valuable ancient royalty collection.

I hadn't really seen these before, I think these are something that a lot of people who don't like the super modern cartoon style of Funko Pops will like. I showed these photos to my husband and he told me that I may have actually found something that he wants to collect!

This looks very nice and purely cool! It radiates a Fallout 4 Nuclear Wasteland feel for me. I love vintage style things like this and am also pretty interested in transformers; I like these!

There's no toy lover out there who's not a big fan of The Transformer toys back then. It's so detailed that you wouldn't feel anything missing out from the designs.

You took the words right out of my mouth. The first day I came across the Funko, it was the Fallout 4 game that crossed my mind immediately. I would try and see if it's something that I can purchase.

I have been thinking about a very good new Funko toy to buy and it looks like I have just seen exactly what I have been looking for a very long time. This Hikari, Transformer toy is definitely coming into my set.

I was never fortunate to own this Hikari, Transformers merchandise Funko toys. I have always loved all Transormers movies. There's a new one that's supposed to come out this year or next year, I'm not sure when. The toy looks so good.

Back in the days when this toy was released, it was one of the most sought after toy by anyone who is into funko pop toys. I had a complete set of them and I still feel so proud of being among the first owners who purchased it when it was released.
