What are the odds of pulling a secret in Hirono Mime?

The secret sits in the commonly published 1/144 class for this format — roughly a 8.0% chance of at least one secret across 12 boxes. Ratios are printed per series and wave on official packaging, so always verify the ratio on the current box before buying.

How many figures are in the Mime series?

12 regular figures plus a secret tier. Completing the regular set from blind singles takes about 37 boxes on average (coupon-collector math at even odds); a sealed case of 12 usually changes that math — check the case configuration.

How do I spot a fake Hirono figure?

Use the widely-documented general checks: verify the official seal or QR through official channels, inspect paint edges and decal sharpness (a 30x loupe helps), compare weight and material feel against a known-genuine figure, check packaging print quality, and treat any price that seems too good as a red flag in itself.

The series file

A defining narrative series for the Hirono character. 1/12 per box (even case spread), with the secret tier at 1/144 class — a published box ratio, not a promise; the figure printed on the current wave's packaging is the only one that counts.

Collector notes

Classic 12+1 format with the secret in the commonly published 1/144 class — verify the printed ratio on the wave you’re actually holding.
Hirono skews toward adult display collectors, so condition and box completeness carry more weight here than in cuter lines.
Matte skin tones on genuine figures are even and chalk-free; blotchy or shiny "skin" is a documented general counterfeit tell.

Fake risk

Popular blind-box lines are heavily counterfeited, and the hotter the series the higher the risk. Before paying for any "sealed" unit — especially secondary-market or deep-discount listings — run the general checks: official seal/QR verification, paint and decal quality under magnification, weight and material feel, packaging print quality, and the price-too-good rule. Our guides cover the documented tells per line, and a 30x loupe makes most of them visible.

Real official-channel sealed boxes with verifiable QR/seals · Fake deep-discount "sealed" lots, blurry decals, mushy paint edges.

Best sourced through Pop Mart's official store or specialty retailers — and as loose singles when you want a specific figure.
