Happy Camp - Holding Hands

This fig set celebrates an extremely charming fan favorite story - about the possibility that Zhang Zhehan and Gong Jun were actually holding hands for a moment underneath the table at their Happy Camp interview.

Let's roll the footage, shall we?

Now I will say, I am as hard core as the next Junzhe fan, but this is a piece of speculative fan lore that I'm not sure I 100% believe. Do I think their hands could have been pressed up against each other? Or that Zhehan may have bumped him on the hand or knee? I sure do! We know Junjun was nervous about his appearance on the show, and I think it's entirely within the realm of possibility that Zhehan was providing some sort of tactile comfort for him at the filming. It's certainly in character for Zhehan, and also in character for Gong Jun to accept it as a matter of course. We've seen this time and time again during filming and during the promotional period.

Do I think they were actually holding hands? Probably not...but they could have been! And I certainly love all the geometric angles and speculation that the fandom has poured into this over time. I find it delightfully fun, and this fig set is like a beautiful love letter to the fandom.

Before we get started with the figs themselves, I will note that this is the fig set that I had to handwrite a statement of sincerity for in order to qualify to purchase. I talked about this in my post Character and Sincerity. You can see my (very!) poorly handwritten statement there.

These two hand holding cuties arrived perfectly, with all their accessories intact!

These figs have so much personality! Look at Junjun's smirk! Zhehan's gremlin face! Amazing.

While we're here, I'll show you the detail on the underside before we put them in their chairs. Zhehan's pants actually have a ton of detail. In my mind they're just jeans, but every time I see the video snip I am reminded there's a lot going on with them.

In pics of this fig set, I've seen clever fans dress up the table by adding a table skirt. So cute. I really need to do that.

And here they are! Even without the skirt you can't tell what shenanigans are happening under the table.

You can see Zhehan sits slightly in front of Junjun in order to make the positioning work. I should really pull him a bit more forward and turned (as in around the table) so his hand tucks right under Junjun's.

I'm going to take the normal set of pictures of them without the table, so you can see more detail. You'll notice here they're sitting really high up in their chairs. That's because they kept slipping out, and I went ahead and stuck them on with some museum putty as a temporary measure. I meant to go back and glue them down...and then I forgot. I still have forgotten! I need to do that this weekend. I've given up on fig stickers and museum putty/wax for the most part - if something isn't going to stand/sit properly, I have found that glue is a must. Otherwise the other options tend to fail at the worst possible time, and figs tumbling down display shelves is the inevitable conclusion.

The museum putty here is too bulky, so they are both raised up, Junjun evven more so. They're adorable with their feet swinging free like that, but they'll look better with their feet level on the floor (and it'll be more secure, frankly).

This is a great angle to see the detail on Zhehan's pants, and shoes for that matter.

It's so cute they have each other's English names / nicknames on the back of their shirts. This set of figs is really for the fans!

Junjun's head is slightly bigger than Zhehan's here, which is accurate.

I really love how the fig maker did Zhehan's spiky buzz cut hair! It's so fun.

You can really see how high Junjun is sitting here with the museum putty. Zhehan too, but slightly less so.

Ugh, sorry all, I should definitely have glued them down. They're sitting like me with my short legs dangling vs. the long-legged men they really are.

Here's the front view again, but with them actually holding hands this time! I see I also scooted them a little forward in the chairs so their feet are touching the ground more. This is much closer to how they will actually look post-glue fix. They are ADORABLE. The expressions on their face are too perfect!

Please note Zhehan's Very Special silver butterfly necklace, which I 100% do believe Junjun bought him. He also has hearts in his eyes! Junjun has star sparkles.

Aww the hand holding. Super, super cute.

The box came with some extras - a sticker, a pin, and an art card.

This is the extremely cute box. We have quotes on the sides of the boxes, and then their signatures and the iconic quotes from each of the actors to their characters - Zhehan's Live a good life as you wish, and Gong Jun's If possible, let's start a new life together.

The quote here on the bottom is "The best love is unchanging and steadfast", from a famous set of posts made by Zhehan and Gong Jun.

The back of the box cards has the exact moment of inspiration for the figs! I absolutely love this set. It actually had an option to buy a diorama with it, but I bought it so late (on remainders) that I didn't have the option. I'm definitely still on the hunt for it!
