Hirono Mime (2023)

Hirono Mime by POP MART (July 2023): 12 regular figures about hidden roles and silent feelings, plus the light-up secret Silent, printed ratio 1:144.

Hirono Mime (official title HIRONO Mime Series Figures, also searched as “Mime Hirono”) is a POP MART blind box series released on 14 July 2023. Like a mime, Hirono tells each story without words: a scarecrow with a crow on his arm, a blindfolded boy on a tree stump, a jester with a drum, a prisoner with a sandcastle on his head, a drifter hugging a red balloon. There are 13 figures, 12 regular plus the secret Silent, a boy whose head is an old TV set with a screen that lights up. POP MART lists them as 2.1–3.9 in tall (about 5–10 cm), made of ABS, PVC, hardware and a battery. The numbering here follows POP MART’s official lineup: 1 Guardian, 2 Blind, 3 Seeker, 4 Devilry, 5 Drifter, 6 Fool, 7 Unspoken, 8 Patience, 9 Prison, 10 Destroy, 11 Poem, 12 Secrecy, 13 Silent (Secret). Hirono is the character of Chinese artist Lang; in our catalogue Mime is the second series by date, after the debut Hirono The Other One (2021). POP MART does not explain the individual figures, but its Chinese checklist labels each with a single character: 守 “to guard” for Guardian, 等 “to wait” for Patience, 逆 “against” for Destroy, 默 “silent” for Silent. On popmart.com/us a box costs $19.99 and a whole set $239.88 (checked 13 November 2026). The date on popmart.com is 14 July; US online sales opened on 13 July at 7 pm Pacific time. The box prints the odds: 1:12 for each regular figure and 1:144 for the secret Silent, while the product page only says that secret chances vary from set to set. Silent’s screen lights up via a switch on its back; the battery comes fitted and can be replaced (caption on POP MART’s official photo). On ColleX the complete set is the 12 regular figures; Silent is tracked separately. A whole set is 12 boxes with no duplicates, but a secret inside it replaces one regular figure. Later Hirono series in the catalogue: Hirono Shelter and Hirono × Le Petit Prince (2024), Hirono Echo (2025), Hirono × Harry Potter and Hirono Tamed Wildgrass (2026). Between Mime and Shelter sits Hirono Reshape (December 2023): nine figures about breaking and mending, plus the secret marionette Puppet.
