Artist Spotlight - HA JONGHUN

"I work as an illustrator and art toy artist at Hands In Factory. I mainly work on a series called 'HAZARD,' which is inspired by a lizard motif. The 'HAZARD' series reflects the image of modern individuals who always rise again and move forward, no matter how many times they face setbacks, just like a lizard that repeatedly loses its tail but grows it back. Based on this story, the characters in the Hazard universe also depict the daily lives of individuals who hide their own concerns and live seemingly unaffected lives." - HA JONGHUN

HANDS IN FACTORY is a subculture-driven artist collective known for its collectible toys, including its signature IPs, Running Horns and Hazard. Leading the creative direction is HA JONGHUN, the designer and director behind the HAZARD series—an IP inspired by the motif of a lizard. His work spans character design, 3D modeling, toy production, and painting, shaping a bold and distinctive artistic world.

HANDS IN FACTORY continues to push creative boundaries, delivering unique works that connect with collectors, brands, and fans worldwide.

Waitlist Drop - Blind Box

Waitlist will open 12 hours before drop time. If you enter the Waitlist and are lucky enough to secure a reservation, you will have 7 minutes to complete the purchase process. If you do not complete the purchase, your collectible reservation will be returned to the public pool and be available for users to purchase directly from the VeVe Store. More info on Waitlist Drops HERE.

‍These digital collectibles will be available for purchase as a blind box, meaning you won’t know which rarity you have acquired until after your successful purchase. From there, you can continue to expand your collection with additional blind boxes, or interact with other users in the Market to complete your set!

MCP Priority Bidding

Upon entering the drop Waitlist, Collectors can opt to redeem Master Collector Program Points to bid on priority Waitlist selection for a collectible reservation. After a bid is placed, Collectors can increase their bid, and/or withdraw their bid up until the Waitlist closes.

At drop time, the highest bidders will be awarded a collectible reservation for the opportunity to complete their purchase using Gems at the Store price. At this point users' MCP Points are deducted from their MCP points balance. If users decide not to make a purchase, their MCP Points WILL NOT be refunded.

If a Collector is NOT successful in securing a collectible reservation using Priority Bidding, their MCP Points WILL NOT be deducted. These Collectors are considered in the Waitlist entry pool and still have a chance to win the drop via normal Waitlist selection logic.

Note: Collectors will only be able to secure a single purchase per successful reservation. Additional collectibles can be purchased after the reservation period ends, if inventory is available.
