Hirono x Le Petit Prince collection

Le Petit Prince, written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, is a story that transcends age, language, and time. Published in 1943, this novella tells the story of a young prince who travels from planet to planet, learning profound lessons about love, loss, and the essence of life.

When Popmart announced the collaboration between Hirono and Le Petit Prince, it felt like a meeting of kindred spirits. Both Hirono and the Little Prince are wanderers, exploring worlds both real and imagined. Both carry a sense of innocence and curiosity, yet they are tinged with a quiet sadness that speaks to the complexities of human experience.

This special series features 12 figurines inspired by the iconic characters from The Little Prince, celebrating their timeless charm. Each surprise box contains a unique character, like the Fox, the Rose, the King, or the Little Prince himself. Each piece feels like a love letter to Saint-Exupéry’s masterpiece.

What makes this collaboration so special is its ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia while remaining fresh and innovative. It’s a celebration of two artistic visions coming together to create something truly unique. For collectors like myself, it’s also a chance to own a piece of art that bridges generations, connecting the childlike wonder of the past with the creative possibilities of the present.
