Puppet
Puppet is the secret figure of Hirono Reshape, number 10 in the official lineup. Hirono is put together like a doll from mismatched parts: a torso of blue striped and beige patches, wooden and metal arms with hinges and bolts, one hand replaced by a metal piece shaped like a wrench, and two different legs, one patched with cloth and one of metal and wood. A dark wreath like thorny twigs sits on his head, and in POP MART’s photo strings run up from his hands.

FAQ
What are the odds of pulling Hirono Puppet?+
The box prints 1:108 for the secret and 1:9 for each regular figure, while the product page only says that secret chances vary from set to set. In a whole set of 9 boxes, Puppet replaces one regular figure if it turns up. Why our author sees it as the key to the series is in the Reshape article.
Is Hirono Puppet the same as Hirono Marionette?+
No. Marionette is the fourth regular figure of the first series, The Other One (2021): Hirono in a straw hat with the puppeteer’s control bar at his feet. Puppet is the 2023 Reshape secret, where Hirono has become the marionette himself.
