Hirono - The "art" of art toys

 

“We are all lost in a maze of hidden personalities.” – hirono, mime series.

Hirono has made a name for itself as one of the most favorable collectible products across the world, and, even though the copyright is held by Popmart, the original author of Hirono is LANG. Hirono stands out not only because they are designed to be extremely adorable and tasteful, but also because of the story that the author and Popmart built for these characters. 

Hirono has so far had four volumes, including The Other One, Little Mischief, City of Mercy, and most recently Mime - The Show of Identity series.

In today's story, we will come to the latest series of Hirono – Mime. With the aim of focusing on the ego and deepest desires of people, designed in figures that look like little boys, Mime is like a mirror that shines into each person's inner child, highlighting "the good" that has been crushed through the hustle and bustle of years.

A Hirono set usually includes twelve figures (the only set with a different number is City of Mercy with seven figurines), in mime – the show of identity, the Hironos include: guardian, blind, seeker, devilry, drifter, fool, unspoken, patience, prison, enchanter/destroyer, not a king/poem and secrecy. Blind box products often have hidden characters, in mime, there is also a thirteenth Hirono named silent.

“The story of the Hirono – from toys to healing”

Among the Hirono of volume 4 - mime, there are two Hirono with different names on the blind box cover and on the brand's official website: enchanter/destroyer and not a king/poem. So, what is the reason for this difference?

Enchanter/destroyer: enchanter is clearly a beautiful noun, it describes a person who knows how to cast spells and enchantments and can do magical things that no one else can do, and people often immediately think of blessings, but destroyer, one way or another, he destroys everything around him, and perhaps himself.

This Hirono is a boy wearing a red devil's sweater, preparing to detonate a bomb - but the wick is connected to a stone heart that is, perhaps, his own. Maybe he represents young people today destroying themselves (destroyer), taking on the appearance of the devil, but in reality, it's all because they want to please others. They lose themselves and scatter their own hearts just because they hope others will be happy.

Not a king/poem: or affectionately called "poet" by the fandom. This was once a rising trend among young people - king, poet, and soldier. Young people created quizzes to classify themselves as king - an intelligent leader, poet - an artistic poet, and soldier - a mighty warrior. The results of the quiz were very interesting, most kings said they might have been misclassified and were more like poets, poets said they wanted to be kings or soldiers, and soldiers – strangely enough, it felt they could hold the king's responsibilities.

It seems that this is also the story of Hirono not a king - he wants to be a king, but is too soft-hearted, he can only write and hug his pillow full of words to sleep and dream about the world. where he rules a kingdom. His poems are the most honest words about the dream of once being above everything, but unfortunately, he can only write.
