FAQS

Hirono figures’ s designer art collectible toys were created by Lang, a Chinese artist. These toys visualize complex emotions and a sense of disconnection with self, dreams, and memory. Hirono is often depicted in elaborate and fantasy-like costumes.

Some of the main series include: The Shelter Series emphasizes emotional safety and comfort. The Echo Series examines self-identity, introspection, and memory. The City Dream, Animal Life, and Forest Concert Series have dreamy and distinct themes. From time to time, new series are released which come as blind box or collection series.

To start with, try to identify what resonates with you the most. If you enjoy tranquil and contemplative moods, the Shelter or Echo Series might be the best fit for you. If you are more interested in the flights of fancy and the imaginative, try the lined themed sleeves like Forest or Animal Life.

A blind box is a sealed container that holds a random figure from a given series. You won’t know which figure you got until you open it, so it is a complete surprise, however, these figures are likely to be duplicates.

Yes, but mainly from collectors or third party sellers. It is more common for official vendors to sell blind boxes. To get a certain figure, you have to barter or buy it secondhand. Usually, it is priced higher.

Buy only from reputable merchants or verified online marketplaces. Look for official brand markings (like Pop Mart), original boxes and the details of their figures that relate with real figures scattered across the internet.

Start with a series that you like and purchase a blind box or two. Trade communities will allow you to swap costumes. Set a reminder to purchase from bundles or discounts when they pop up. Do not attempt to complete entire sets too early.

Most series contain a 'secret' or chase figure aka a limited edition or rare figure with a very low chance of being in the box (most commonly 1 in 144 or so boxes). These figures usually fetch a hefty price in resale markets and are very sought after.

Use shelves, acrylic display cases, or dustproof boxes stocked with acrylic risers. Many collectors create diorama-style themed displays to enhance the story or feeling of each figure.

Some rare or limited edition figures will very likely increase in value, especially if they are kept sealed in their original packaging. However, value is very unpredictable so remember to have fun and not take collection as an investment.
