The Empire Glassworks - Kim Jong-Un Pipe – Rocket Man Standing Figure Pipe is a hand-lampworked borosilicate dry pipe sculpted as a standing caricature of Kim Jong-Un: slicked black hair, a round rosy face with narrowed smiling eyes, a black buttoned high-collar suit with a red pin, and black shoes. Empire called it the Rocket Man. It is part of the same caricature series as Empire's Trump and Putin pipes, and it costs $79.99.
⚡ At-a-Glance Decision Summary
- What it is: A small standing figurine dry pipe, a caricature of Kim Jong-Un in a black high-collar suit.
- Why choose it: It stands on its own and reads as a figurine on a shelf, then works as a pipe when you pick it up.
- The differentiator: Empire no longer lists the Rocket Man, so we cannot reorder it from the maker.
- Confidence signal: Authentic Empire Glassworks caricature series, sold alongside the Trump and Putin figures.
Summary: The Kim Jong-Un Pipe is Empire's Rocket Man standing caricature figure, a discontinued piece in the series.
🧠 Our Verdict
Strong recommendation if you collect Empire's caricature figures or want the trio complete. Empire no longer lists this one, so the piece on our shelf is the one we have. If you want a large bowl, a full-size spoon holds more.
Quick Summary
Empire Glassworks is a glass studio known for sculpted character pipes. Its caricature series turns public figures into small standing pipes, and the Rocket Man was the Kim Jong-Un figure in that set. Ours shows slicked black hair, a round face with rosy cheeks, narrowed smiling eyes and red lips, a black buttoned suit with a high collar, two breast pockets and a red pin, standing on black shoes.
Empire Glassworks Kim Jong-Un Pipe – Empire's Rocket Man Figurine Pipe
Empire stopped making this one. Empire still lists its Trump figure. The Rocket Man has been dropped from its retail and wholesale listings, so the piece on our shelf is not one we can reorder.
The figure is sculpted head to shoes. Slicked black hair sits over a round, rosy face with narrowed smiling eyes and red lips. The suit is glossy black, buttoned up to a high collar, with two breast pockets and a small red pin. Black shoes let it stand upright.
How it works. Empire builds the caricature series with the bowl set into the back of the figure and the draw hole in the top of the head, as on the Trump and Putin pipes. Our product photo shows the front of this one, so ask us for a back photo before you buy if the layout matters to you.
Because Empire no longer publishes specs for the Rocket Man, we do not list a size or weight. It sits in the same small, personal size range as the other figures.

Summary: A standing Kim Jong-Un caricature in a black high-collar suit with a red pin, discontinued by Empire.
⭐ Who This Product Is For / Not For
Ideal For:
- Collectors finishing Empire's caricature trio.
- Novelty buyers who want a figure that doubles as a pipe.
- Anyone pairing it with the Donald Trump Pipe and Vladimir Putin Pipe.

Not Recommended For:

- Personal-size bowl. It holds a solo pack.
- Sculpted details. Hair, face and pin are the first places to chip in a fall.
Summary: No published specs, a front-only photo, a small bowl and delicate sculpting.

💬 Common Questions & Answers
What does Empire call this pipe?
Empire called this figure the Rocket Man. It was the Kim Jong-Un figure in Empire's caricature series, alongside the Agent Orange, a Donald Trump figure, and the Pootie, a Vladimir Putin figure. Empire no longer lists the Rocket Man on its retail or wholesale sites, so this is a discontinued piece. We carry all three figures at the same price.
How big is it?
Empire no longer publishes a size or weight for the Rocket Man, so we do not list one. It sits in the same small standing-figure format as the Trump pipe, which Empire lists at about 4.5 inches tall. If you need an exact measurement before buying, contact us and we will measure the piece on our shelf for you.
Where is the bowl?
Empire builds the caricature series with the bowl in the back of the figure and the draw hole in the top of the head. That is the layout on the Trump and Putin pipes we carry. Our listing photo shows the front of the Rocket Man. Ask us for a back photo if you want to see the bowl before you order.
Is it a working pipe?
Yes. It is a borosilicate dry pipe for ground flower, with a bowl, a carb and a draw hole that all function. Between sessions, it stands upright on a shelf on its black shoes. Clean it regularly, because residue builds inside the figure where you cannot easily see it from outside.
Why is it the same price as the others?
We price all three Empire caricature figures at $79.99. Empire no longer sells the Rocket Man, so there is no current maker price to match, and we kept it in line with the Trump and Putin figures. The sculpting, size class and pipe layout are the same across the series.
How do I clean it?
Let the pipe cool fully, then seal it in a bag with isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Shake gently so the salt moves through the bowl and the internal path, soak for a while, and rinse with warm water. Pipe cleaners help through the draw hole. Never run hot glass under cold water, because the temperature shock cracks it.
Summary: Empire's discontinued Rocket Man, no published specs, series bowl layout, fully working, priced with the set, and soaked to clean.

Summary: Pair the Kim Jong-Un Pipe with the other two caricature figures.
