HIDDEN · THE GIANT HORNET · the secret figure
A Series of Laugh and Grow
Real animals, reimagined plump and cheerful — painted in lifelike detail, sculpted impossibly cute.
Chubby & Full of Character
Rounded, soft and undeniably cute — yet every scale, wrinkle and marking is hand-painted true to the real animal. The reaction it gets in person is always the same: so detailed, and so adorable.
Ready to Display
A single, sturdy hand-painted piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its happy pose, ready to collect and show off.
Series 7 saves its most formidable minibeast for last. The Asian giant hornet is the largest hornet in the world — a two-inch aerial hunter with a fearsome reputation, given the dramatic media nickname ‘murder hornet.’ Here, at least, it is entirely huggable.
The World’s Largest Hornet
At up to two inches long with a three-inch wingspan, Vespa mandarinia dwarfs ordinary wasps and hornets. Its size alone makes it one of the most imposing insects in the sky.
The Bee-Hunter
A small group of these hornets can raid a honeybee hive, and their pursuit of bees is one reason they draw such attention. In their native range, some bees have even evolved a remarkable heat-based defense against them.
More Feared Than Fatal
Despite the ‘murder hornet’ headlines, the species mostly avoids people and stings defensively. Its true role is as a top insect predator in the forests of East Asia.
The Collector’s Prize
As the secret chase of the series, the giant hornet is the piece keepers hunt for — the most fearsome bug in the set, rendered friendly, round and safe to keep on a shelf.
