Since its debut, we've seen a rash of special edition Kia Souls, and the autoamker hasn't held back from creating two more just for this year's SEMA show: the Hamstar and White Tiger Concepts. The White Tiger is planned for a 2011 model year run, and its white skin will flaunt tiger-themed graphics like a cat claw on the hatch and stripes along the sides. Inside will be an all-black cabin with heated leather front seats and illuminated scuff plates. Expect to see it at dealerships in the coming weeks.

The Hamstar Concept pays homage to Kia's popular ad creatures,

three rapping hamsters

called the Hamstars. These guys already have their own apparel, so why not their own Soul? The Molten Red concept has got "Hamstar" written all over it, literally, and we're told that the "off-black matte finish stripes on the urban passenger vehicle's sides that reminiscent of vintage warm-up pants." Yo. Take it in for yourself in the gallery of high-res photos below, and read about both of these special edition Souls in the press release after the jump.
