The Hirono exclusivity factor

As of April 2026, the demand for Lang’s Hirono series has reached a peak with the release of 'The Other One' vinyl figure. This specific drop was designated as a 'Rising Star' release, restricted exclusively to the US Pop Mart webstore. For the Australian collector, this geographical restriction is a barrier that standard retail channels do not address. The appeal of Hirono lies in its emotional depth and intricate design, making US-exclusive releases highly sought after by global enthusiasts who track these drops with professional precision.

Navigating the US Pop Mart webstore

Purchasing directly from the US store requires more than just a payment method; it requires a local presence. Many US retailers, including Pop Mart, often restrict shipping to domestic addresses. To bypass this, savvy collectors utilize a tax-free US address provided by comGateway. This allows the purchase to be treated as a domestic US transaction, avoiding initial international shipping roadblocks and potentially saving on US state sales tax depending on the warehouse location.

Shipping Estimates for Hirono Figures

To plan your acquisition effectively, understanding the physical profile of the shipment is essential. Below are the estimated specifications for the Pop Mart x Hirono 'The Other One' US-Exclusive Vinyl Figure package.

Before finalizing your order, it is advisable to use a shipping calculator to account for the most current 2026 fuel surcharges and base rates for delivery to your specific Australian postcode.

The necessity of package forwarding

The logistics of high-end collectibles often involve a two-step process. Since the US Pop Mart store does not provide direct Australia delivery for this specific 'Rising Star' release, the use of package forwarding is the standard industry workaround. By sending the item to a US-based hub first, you gain control over the inspection and consolidation of your items. For those collecting multiple figures from the Hirono series, consolidating several packages into one can significantly reduce the total cost of your international shipping service.

Australian import considerations

When you prepare to ship to Australia, be aware of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regulations. Since 2018, Australia has applied a 10% GST to low-value imported goods (valued at AUD 1,000 or less). Most reputable providers of international shipping will assist in the documentation required for customs clearance in Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane. Ensuring your paperwork correctly identifies the item as a 'collectible toy' will help streamline the entry process through the Australian Border Force.

The current market for Hirono figures in 2026 shows that regional exclusives will continue to be a trend. Mastering the logistics of a freight forwarder is no longer optional for serious collectors; it is the primary method for maintaining a complete collection without relying on secondary market scalpers who inflate prices for the Australian market.
