Can we discover the rarest blind box toys? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. You know, one of our biggest discoveries of the last few years is how much genuine joy that we, two men in our late forties, can feel from opening blind box toys. Especially one of us. Me? Yes. And perhaps the even bigger discovery is that you enjoy watching two men in their late forties open blind box toys. So let's get into it. Okay, boys, the main objective here is to unbox as many of your favorite figures in this lineup of Pop Mart's Hirono Shelter series as possible, so go ahead and pick out your favorite from this lineup. There's also a secret stuffed bear you could potentially pull, but the chances are one out of 144. One outta 144. You're gonna be so excited. So Hirono, I guess, is a boy that then does different things in this series of shelters. Well Link, um, Hirono, uh, via our research, we are just calling Hirono, Hirono. We don't know Hirono's pronouns. Hirono is Hirono. So Hirono is Hirono. But Hirono is becoming shelter in this? Yes. Or seeking shelter? Yes. Yes. Candleholder. Mantel Clock. Poet. How is poet a shelter? Cabin. Birdie. Alien. You can read the second line. Traffic Cone. Fort. Circus. Warrior. Sunny Doll. Birdcage. These are all pretty compelling if you ask me. They're cute because. They're cute and they're interesting. He's never happy. I, I'm. He's grumpy. I'm really into traffic cone because I just love the face that he's making. Don't cross. It comes with a little, don't cross. He's so angry. Candle holder is kind of masochistic. I'm going with that one. Okay. Traffic cone for me, candle holder. Well gimme that candle holder. Okay, go ahead and take your first box for free. No strings attached. Got mine. For your next box, I have a trivia question for you. You have whiteboards in front of you. Ready. Hirono became an overnight sensation after being seen hanging on whose bag? Whose bag? Whose bag have. Is Hirono hanging on? You've been hanging on. This is for the privilege of winning your next blind box. All right, I think I know this. Okay. I think it's a Kardashian, right? Is it not? I think it's Lisa. Oh, that sounds even better. Oh, was that a, uh, Monchichi? That was Labubu for Lisa. Oh. I don't know what's happening with the Kardashians. Uh, but the answer was V from BTS and I'm gonna give it to Link. Yeah, because same genre of music, right? K-pop. Okay, so you, you automatically get another one Link. I will take yours. Well, not automatically, he won the right. You don't? No. And then you can choose another one. That's not how it works. You can't take mine 'cause this is a traffic cone. Oh. Alright, I'm gonna take that one. Okay, another trivia question. According to Hirono's backstory, long ago in a hidden village, nestled within a mystical forest, Hirono was born under the light of a shimmering crescent moon, but Hirono wasn't like the other villagers. While others followed the village traditions of crafting and farming, Hirono was drawn to what? So the most of them went to crafting and farming. And farming. Crafting and farming. Hirono was drawn to something else. Okay. Dark web. Dark web. I, I think it's poetry because one of the things is a poet and that's the one that didn't make sense. Oh. The answer is ancient stories told by the elders. So Link, I'm gonna give you this one. Oh, thanks. Yes, I'm racking up and this is a traffic cone. Hey, blocked my, some of my favorite poems come from the dark web. Okay. For the remaining boxes up for grabs, we're gonna add in some dumb luck. So you're gonna take turns flipping a coin. Here it is. Heads, tails. You do the honors. Uh, I'm gonna call tails. Then I. It's heads. Okay, take another. Got another one. All right, now you flip. Tails. Huh? I'm racking up. Boy, this better be a traffic cone. You gonna be hurting. This better be a traffic cone. Uh, tails. We really shouldn't be flipping for. Oh, heads. Yeah, buddy. And then I'm. I'm gonna have one box. Sticking with head. Oh God, I have, hold on, this never happens. What happened to my luck in 26? All right, so push, push yours away and we'll save that one for last. Okay. Keep it. And then I'm gonna ask you to help me open mine. Oh, that's rude. Which, um. Okay, so Link is looking for candle. Uh huh. Well, these are, how much do these run? Like what's the, what's the cost of these puppies? That is a good question. I mean, we talking, okay, we got poetry. $15. We have poetry. Look at that. You got a nice. 19 dollars. bag in a bag. Alien. Okay. Okay. Okay. So Alien is, um, more of a conspiracy theorist if you ask me. We've got Sunny Doll. Okay. So no luck so far, Link. But put them over here so we know that they're absolutely all mine. Okay. They're all yours. I have, I like how there's the perforation in the rips here. Oh, it's a cat. It's a fort, fort, fort guy. Okay. Birdcage. All right. So, so, so far I'm happy because you haven't gotten what you want yet. We're both, and I'm I, but even more so, I haven't gotten what. What I want. Could this be, oh, circus. Circus. Circus. Why am I so excited right now? Oh, I just realized that there's a, there's a rip here. Oh, yeah. I've been ripping that the whole time. And then that's probably why I'm done with my side. Pull this out and then, oh, this one is. Feels pretty wide. This is wide. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Hold on. I think that might be, no, no, it's just the Mantel Clock. But the cool thing about the Mantel Clock is that. It opens when he's got one eye closed. Okay, Link. It all comes down to this. Wouldn't this be crazy? This would be. No repeats though. This would be crazy. No. Was that the first one no repeats? This would be crazy if this worked out. This would be nuts if it worked out. If it was the traffic cone. It is a... I dunno, I tried to take it, you think this is scripted? Oh, thank you. God, I believe in you. What? Everybody thinks this is scripted and it's never scripted. It's never scripted, it's just. I don't understand. Hold on, where's the little top to it? Did I break it? How. Where's the little top to it? How can I have all of this and still be so disappointed? The little top is somewhere, I guess. I got the one that I wanted didn't even show up. How is this possible? Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Okay. You only hurt me emotionally. People listen, the fact that this happens, people we're losing all our credibility 'cause no one can believe that the chances that I went over there and like. Picked one out, pulled it over, and it wasn't one I wanted. Well, I mean, you should just go home. Don't take pity on me. Okay. Now that we've all calmed down a little bit. I just, I still can't believe it. People, I, people aren't gonna believe it. There's gonna, there's gonna be layer upon layer, a heated argument in the comments about how there's no way that it's not scripted and that you're all being played the fool. But there was so many different random parts to it. It was like one of those magic tricks in which something is completely figured out from the beginning. And it's just to create that moment. But I swear to you on all that is holy and all that is unholy. We were flipping a coin. It was completely random. We flipped a coin. I may have overestimated how calm we are. I got. We're not calm. I got all of the coin flips. You, I had one and it was just. Except for one. And I thought it would be cute and pick one on the bottom and push it through like Jenga. And then I tried to take it. And then you tried to take it, I said no. 'cause it might be cone man. And here he is. We're not gonna top that. I'll never say bye to you. This is the Twinkle Twinkle Savor the Moment series. So take a look at the lineup and pick your. That's what we've been doing. We've been savoring the moment. Savor the moment. Also, there's a secret figure called Matcha Cream Snow with a one in 1 in 44 chance. Okay, maybe, maybe Rhett will get that. Chestnut cream. Happy Pamier. Coffee milk bath. Ooh, sounds good. Lucky pudding. That's mine. Orange marmalade. Earl teapot. Star candy. Cookie house. Strong bread. Macaron cookies. The eternity of pizza. And lazy moments. I mean, I don't understand the eternity of pizza, and that's why I'm choosing it as my favorite. Okay, you can each take your free box. I am gonna take the corner again. Okay. and your first trivia question. This is metaphor. As the Labubu bubble bursts, Pop Mart investors are hopeful to find the next Labubu, and many speculate that Twinkle Twinkle might be that IP, according to Bloomberg, Twinkle Twinkle made up 2.8% of Pop Mart's sales in its first year, what percentage of their sales is it projected to account for, by 2027? So Pop Mart sells multiple things. Yeah. You're saying Pop Mart. Labubus. They did Labubu, now they're doing this. They have a lot of different, uh. And this was already 2.8%. Yes. Labubu obviously is higher than that, and they we're moving higher. How could you even predict this type of stuff? You have to, you have to predict. You have to try. But they're pulling numbers, I mean, and there's lots of things. It's not like. Well, they're very cute. So I'm gonna say it's gonna make it to 9%. 65%. I think that they have this inkling, they this like insider trading. How many of these do you, I don't know how many things they make. The answer is 8%. Oh, okay. Okay. So Rhett gets another box. So that's not much of a jump. Yeah. Who are we? Who are we to know though? You know, who knows what that actually means? All right. The Twinkle Twinkle series features the King of Yawn. When too many awful things happen, the world becomes shrouded in a thick and gloomy mist. What does the King of Yawn do then? Hmm. All right. I think he yawns to clear it all away. Oh, and it goes all away. Uh, I think that he puts everyone into a deep sleep and then shaves all of their body hair. Ooh, cool. He rises above the clouds and releases a big yawn that sends the world into a peaceful slumber, and when they all awake, the mist is cleared. Oh. So we're, you're both, uh, but I got yawn and clear. I think we should both get one. Well, yeah, go ahead. Take, take 'em. Yeah, we both get one. Um, 'cause we're moving on to the, to the blind luck now. So there's a bag. It has balls in it. Don't look in the bag. If you pull out a green ball, you can take a box. If you pull out a red ball, you miss that turn. All right. You hold one handle, I'll hold the other handle. Okay, I have a ball. It's red. I have a ball. It's red. Okay. I have a ball. It's green. Well that would be Rhett's. That's fine. I have a ball. It's red. So Link gets that one. Are we doing this one? No, you pick, pick, pick one. Yep. I think we're doing it wrong. So. We'll just go back and forth. Green. I got a ball. Green and you got the last one. Okay. I got the last one. Alright, so you, we are tied. We're tied at four. I'm looking for lucky pudding or the mystery thing, which looks like what? Um, matcha cream. I'm really looking for an eternity. This. The eternity of pizza. This is the orange marmalade, which I did not want. I decidedly did not want that. I'm pretty disappointed. I have, what is this? This is coffee. Coffee milk bath. Coffee milk bath. That's the one I almost wanted. You should have said you wanted it. Come on. Lucky pudding. Nope. This is Earl Teapot. Oh, okay. Nice, nice, nice, nice. Come on, eternity of pizza. Who that? I got lazy moments. Lazy moments. Lazy moments. Come on, lucky pudding. Oh, I thought this was, this one was fuzzy, so I thought it was special. Macaron cookies. That is, that is really cool that it's so fuzzy though. Okay. Come on, lazy, I mean, eternity of pizza or Lucky pudding. I'll be happy with either. Pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza. Eternity of pizza. Pizza all the time. Rick got what he wanted. Come on. Come on. He is. Gimme, gimme what I want. Hilarious. Gimme some lucky pudding. Hold on. There's probably a, uh, a spatula. You're stealing my moment here. We will find the spatula, it's in here somewhere. Come on. Lucky Pudding, yo. Oh, you got Bread man. Strong bread. I almost chose Strong Bread. Now the only thing I can hope for is getting another pizza or maybe Lucky Pudding. The best thing that could happen right now is if I could get the Lucky. What a special one. Lucky Pudding is what I really want. Lucky Pudding is what I really want. Lucky Pudding. Are you serious? Oh, yes, yes, yes. God of toys. I, I'm always your good boy. I do what you ask. We have an agreement and you always give me what I want. I will continue to serve you. Why you, you have sold your soul to the toy devil or something. Well, hey, listen. Hey, seriously, what is happening? I like, I need, I need to know. I don't know, dude. I need to know what is happening. Like, okay, I need to understand, well, it's because I'm not having anything to do with it because, hold on. If you could have scripted, what would've hap What would happened? What would've happened is I would've gotten mine second to last and then the last thing that I chose. And right before I took it out, I would say, what I really want is Lucky Pudding. And then what happens? I get lucky Pudding. Yeah. Tell me what's happening. 'cause I really wanted it. Tell me what's happening. Like seriously, tell me what's going on. We're all connected and um, when you win, then I'm also winning because we're all from the same stardust. And I and, and you want to give me this because we're the same person anyway. I can't give it to you. I can't. It's just, I mean, I gotta really roll with this. I need to buy a lot of read ticket. Crazy, crazy. I don't know. I dunno. This is your reminder to go over to the Mythical Kitchen channel. You can check out all of their food-based videos, including they turned 100 years of food science into one meal for Hank Green. Yes. Check it out. Okay, for the final round, you're opening the Calico Critters Blooming Baby Friend series. Take a look at the lineup. Blooming Babies. Ha, I are these fuzzy. They look fuzzy. We've got like a purple flower, we've got a big umbrella, flower, mushroom, and a tree. I like that tree. Hmm hmm. And we've got like a little angel, another flower on a cloud. And the watering one, I mean, I guess the two on clouds are like dead. They're like in heaven or something. No. Um, I have names for them. It's just not on the, yeah, I see the names, but. We're gonna say, you know what? I'm going with the tree. I'm going with John. Yeah, I was kind of into the tree and then I realized it kind of had a little bit of a phallic shape and so I'm backing off on that. Um, I'm going Shroom man. I'm going with the Shroom cat. Shroom and the tree. Okay. Do you want to choose one from the stack? That's Ray, just so you know. Ray and John. Yeah. Choose. Choose freely. I did choose freely. I swear. I guess. I guess he just chose something. Awesome. I swear I chose freely. Okay, first question. What are the calico critters called in most other parts of the world? Calico Critters. That's what they're called here. This answer seems familiar to me. So at some point in our blind box, uh, education, we may have touched on this. Really, I don't know. I don't know either. Crunchy cats. Patchy pets. Sylvanian families. Wow. We were both close. That feels like a draw. We can each take one. Yeah, sure. Okay. Is this one on display? Well, you can take it. I don't, I definitely do not want that one. Calico Critters were previously featured in a Good Mythical More episode, okay, well maybe that's when we learned about it, where we surveyed Mythical self-identified girlies as to whether or not these creatures were considered cute. I remember that. What percentage of girlies surveyed agreed that these are cute, that Calico Critters are cute. The majority by far. 88%. I said 85%. 96%. Ah, yes. Okay. Yes, you get that. Oh, so you really don't want this one? I don't. And I don't want what you want, so I want it. And for the blind luck, uh, you're gonna draw straws. Okay? So the longer straw gets the thing. You get that one. Uhhuh. You get that one. See? And now you're not even, I don't care. You don't even care? No, because you know, I mean, I'm still scared. Toy God is on your side for now. I. I'm still scared. I'm You choose scared. I'm scared. I'm scared. It's super short. I'm just, I'm scared at this point, but was mine, yours is long. Still longer take it. Yeah, it, I just have two. It is scary. It's probably two mushrooms. I mean, I don't, now that I don't know. I allow myself to think about it. Let's see. How do these open? There's also a secret one, but we don't know what it is. We need scissors and we also don't know the odds of it, so. We need even, even more scissors. Special. No, we'll let you go. We'll, you know what? Start, start. Start all mine with scissors. All right. Who is, oh, these are interesting. Look at, look at what they, they come in like a, like a, a pod pack. And you're looking for tree? Yep. To remind everyone. This one right here is the umbrella thing, so. Oh, they're tiny. I'm giving that up. They're tiny. But this one, come on, tree. Nope, no tree. This is, I'm gonna leave that like that. That's the same. It looks same. The first one's not an umbrella one, it's just like the one standing next to a flower and the second one's the umbrella one. Man, they're both boring. I really hope you get a tree. I really hope you get a tree. You know I just want you to get a tree. Well, you didn't cut this one. I did. Well open it for me. Alright. This one you cut. I cut it right here. Alright. Alright. Hi Tree. Tree. Tree. Tree. Tree. Nope. That is the fairy or something. Yep, that's the angel. You want me to open it so that it'll give you good luck. I don't wanna open it. I don't wanna open it. I don't wanna open it. 'cause if I open it, it might become a tree. I don't know how this magic works. He thinks it. I am frightened. The moment his finger sets it. I, it's got to be magic. The other times we've done this, it has to be magic. It it's always benefited him every time we've done this. But never like this. If there's two mushrooms in this. Come on, tree. I am leaving. Tree. No, this is just the, this is just the watering can. Can I just say that your chances of getting the tree for this one are so much higher because there's so fewer options. Like there's only seven options. Plus the mystery one. Come on, tree. Like the chances that you wouldn't get a tree is crazy. This is the same as that one. I got two of these. Nope, they're different, but they still suck. I don't know what's about to happen there. No, no, no. I'm scared. I'm scared. I'm scared. And this was mine too. I hope this is a tree for you. Or a mushroom. Or a mushroom. Or a mushroom. I, yeah. I want it to be a mushroom. You need to win something today. Come on tree. Who is that? That's nobody. That's nobody I care about. That's the first. That's the first one. Okay. You got every hold on. You got everything except the tree in the mushroom. Is that true? Yeah, yeah, yeah. That is true. Guys, you got that one? You got that one? Yes. I got everyone. Except you got all of them except the tree and the mushroom. I got the. Every single thing that I wouldn't be happy about cumulatively. Okay. Hold on. There's, there, there's no way that this is a, there's no way that this is a tree or a mushroom. There is it, it it, this, it is a pot impossibility. It is an impossibility. It. That is the tree. It's the freaking tree. It's the freaking, I am legitimately scared. I am legitimately scared. I am frightened. I'm not joking. I'm, I am very frightened right now. It is the tree. I am very frightened. Oh my God. I'm a witch. You're a conduit for some sort of power that's beyond our understanding. You do realize that there are people who believe in dark forces who are gonna think that this is confirmation that I am subject to them. And if this is a freaking mushroom, I mean, you didn't even say you wanted it to be the mushroom, you said you wanted to be the tree, right? Yeah. Let me put this guy in there. Okay. Oh God. Because I want, I mean, I at least get to play with your tree. If this was a prank episode, me being able to do it would be impossible. Like the fact that I'm, I, I can't, there's nothing, there's no mark demarcations on any of them. How many people believe that this is the mushroom at this point? Everybody, now. It are we prepared for the disappointment that it's not the mushroom? It can't, there's no. You haven't heard a reaction from me because my mouth is agape. It's like you stunned me. Because you know that this is all, this is all real. Yes, you stunned me into just sitting with my mouth open. Okay. Mushroom. This is the mushroom. It's not, thank God. Thank God. It is not, it's one that you already have. So did you, you broke the curse at the end. Oh gosh. So, so yeah. So again, this is not magic. It's not witchcraft. It's not witchcraft, it's not witchcraft, it's not witchcraft. But it's still something. It's like sub witchcraft. Well, you do have one more blind box to open, uh, because you won the whole episode, in Good Mythical More, so. Okay, is it gonna be a mushroom? I mean, I'll find out. Thanks for commenting and sharing this video. You know what time it is. I'm Leanna. And I'm Adriana. And we just got the secret critter from the Calico Critters Mystery Pack and it's time to spend the Wheel of Mythicality. They got it. So you think the power went from you to them? Yes. In the past when they made the video? That's exactly what happened. Yes. Uh, we're gonna donate $1,000 to the Human Trafficking legal center to aid in their mission to completely eradicate forced labor in the US and around the globe.
