Description

Hey Everyone! Welcome to the IC for Tomocaps Hangwa (한과). This set is inspired by traditional Korean confections generally called Hangwa!

Due to delays of ePBT, we will now be working with Tomocaps, which I am affiliated with. The goal of Tomocaps is to provide quality keycap options at shorter lead times. Lead time will be about 3-4 months, and instead of group buy, we will be doing limited preorder then an in-stock drop! Samples are currently being made and we are aiming to begin production as soon as we finalize color matching.

We finished the color matching process and have set the preorder date for November 25th, 2022! The purple we ended up deciding on doesn’t quite match our previous renders, but we think is better for the set. In order to avoid any confusion, we have archived our previous renders on the Tomocaps Instgram and what you see there and from now on are the adjusted renders that better reflect the actual colors of the caps.

Pre-Order Dates: November 25th - December 23rd, 2022

We will unfortunately not be running the HIBI artisan due to not meeting the MoQ across vendors.

Fairy Type was our debut set for Tomocaps (you can check it out here if you're interested)
