Collectors in Seoul and Busan are currently scrambling to get their hands on the Pop Mart x Hirono 'The Other One' US-Exclusive Vinyl Figure. This 2026 release has become a 'Rising Star' because it is strictly limited to the US market, featuring a unique colorway and texture that isn't available in the global blind box sets. If you look at local Korean marketplaces, prices are already inflated by $25 to $40 per unit.

Just a moment, securing your connection...

By using a freight forwarder, you can bypass these local markups. Getting the item directly from the source is the fastest path to adding this piece to your shelf without paying the 'reseller tax'. Many fans are finding that they can save about 35,000 KRW even after factoring in the international delivery fees.

Securing Your Figure from the Pop Mart US Store

The first step is to grab a tax-free US address. When you shop on the Pop Mart US site, shipping to a state like Oregon or Delaware means you don't pay any US sales tax, which saves you an additional 7% to 10% right off the bat. This is a crucial step in the 'speed run' to get your figure efficiently.

Once you have your address, you can follow this step-by-step guide to set up your account. Simply enter your assigned US suite number at checkout. Because this is a US-exclusive, the store will only ship to domestic addresses, making a parcel forwarding service absolutely necessary for anyone living in South Korea.

Shipping Estimates for 'The Other One' Figure

To help you budget, here are the estimated logistics details for the Hirono 'The Other One' figure. You can also use the shipping calculator to get a precise quote based on your specific city in Korea.

Since this item doesn't contain electronics, you don't have to worry about the strict shipping rules for lithium batteries. However, always check the list of prohibited items if you plan on adding other US snacks or cosmetics to your package.

Using BuyForMe to Avoid Order Cancellations

A common headache when shopping at US-exclusive stores like Pop Mart, Nike, or Sephora is the "International Credit Card Block." These stores often decline orders if the billing address is outside the US or if they detect a known freight forwarder address. If your order gets cancelled, you could miss out on the drop entirely.

This is where the "BuyForMe" service becomes a lifesaver. Instead of trying your own card, comGateway buys the Hirono figure for you using a US domestic credit card. This is the safest way to guarantee your order goes through on the first try. If you have questions about how the service handles specific store sales, the FAQ section has plenty of details on the assisted purchase process.

South Korea Customs and Import Tips

When shipping to South Korea in 2026, remember the de minimis threshold. As long as your total order value (including US domestic shipping) is under $200 USD, you won't have to pay import duties or VAT. This is a huge benefit for single-figure purchases. Make sure you have your Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC) ready, as the forward packages process requires this for smooth clearance through Incheon customs.

By shipping directly from the US, you are essentially getting a 20% discount compared to the prices at boutique toy shops in Gangnam. It’s a simple math equation: direct buying plus a reliable forwarder equals more money left in your pocket for the next Hirono drop.
