Hirono Echo (2025)

Hirono Echo by POP MART (11 April 2025): 13 figures about childhood games, memories and fears, 12 regular plus the secret Never Growing Up.

Hirono Echo (official name: Hirono Echo Series Figures, often searched as “pop mart hirono echo”) is a POP MART blind box series released on 11 April 2025. In it Hirono, the character created by Chinese artist Lang, turns into a child at play: a little knight on a hobby horse with a bucket for a helmet, a boy in a yellow raincoat, a sleepyhead with a pillow on his head, a kid hiding under a cardboard box. There are 13 figures, 12 regular and the secret Never Growing Up. They stand 6–9 cm tall and are made of PVC, ABS, hardware and electronic components; POP MART marks the series as not suitable for anyone under 15. The order in this set follows POP MART’s official lineup on popmart.com: 1 Hiding Behind You, 2 Daydreaming, 3 Journey in the Rain, 4 Get Lucky, 5 Back Off, 6 Breakout Plan, 7 Pieces of Memory, 8 Soul Connection, 9 Staying Up, 10 Knight, 11 Eaten, 12 Caught You, 13 Never Growing Up (Secret). POP MART has not published an explanation for each figure, so names such as Pieces of Memory, Soul Connection, Breakout Plan and Never Growing Up are open to each collector’s reading. Figures are sold one per sealed box; on POP NOW, POP MART’s online blind box machine in the US, a box costs $19.99 (popmart.com, 5 November 2026). The secret Never Growing Up shows Hirono in a grey and blue “alien costume” with a hood, an antenna and little lights, a small green alien perched on his raised hand. POP MART lists electronic components for the series, its official photo shows a battery marked “Hi-Ro-No” next to the figure, and the everytoys catalogue describes lights on the chest and head. POP MART does not publish odds; according to sellers, the secret turns up in one box out of 144. On ColleX it is not part of the complete set, which counts the 12 regular figures. A whole set of 12 boxes comes without duplicates, but if the secret appears it replaces one random regular figure. Other Hirono series in the catalogue: Hirono Shelter, Hirono × Le Petit Prince and Hirono × Harry Potter.
