Drowning
Drowning opens the official Hirono Reshape lineup. Hirono, in a white shirt and black trousers, stands beneath a tin marked GOLD PAINT tipped over his head: the gold runs down his hair and shoulders and sets in a puddle at his feet, and he holds a paintbrush. POP MART’s official photo frames him with huge golden drips.

FAQ
What does Hirono Drowning mean?+
The launch text retold by The Toy Chronicle opens with “sometimes, we drown in bad emotions”, and the figure takes its name from that verb. Hirono is not drowning in water but in gold paint; POP MART gives no official meaning for single figures.
Which Reshape figure goes with Drowning?+
Burst. The launch text puts drowning in emotions next to getting lost in bursting consumerism, and both figures show something swallowing the boy from outside: gold paint here, a yellow inflatable-looking suit there.
