Title: [IC] KAM Popelka | New Kits! - French/Belgian & Spanish/Italian
Post by: Michabc on Thu, 25 November 2021, 15:06:47

Hey everyone,

I'm proud to introduce my first set! KAM Popelka is based on the Czechoslovak/East German fairy-tale film "Three Wishes for Cinderella" ("Tři oříšky pro Popelku"/"Drei Haselnüße für Aschenbrödel") from 1973.


A perennial favourite on television throughout Europe in this version Cinderella is more in control of her fate. In disguise she plays with the prince - bests him in archery and teases him with riddles at their various encounters.

If you want to catch it - it will start showing in German speaking countries from this Sunday: https://www.dreihaselnuessefueraschenbroedel.de/tv-und-termine-3hfa-remake/ (https://www.dreihaselnuessefueraschenbroedel.de/tv-und-termine-3hfa-remake/) including a Norwegian remake that will premiere at Christmas.


The correctly translated title is "Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella' - in the story each hazelnut grants her a wish for a specific disguise / outfit. These three outfits inspired the colourways of this set:
 - The first a hunters’ garb which she wears to beat the prince in archery. 
 - The second a ball gown with veil which she wears to the ubiquitous ball and further wows the prince.
 - The third and final is her wedding dress...

Alphas
Next to a 'standard' English alpha kit this was a good chance to include dedicated alpha kits for both German and Czech/Slovak as well as an extensive Nordic kit.

It's great to see there will be a homing kit.  Please consider adding middle finger homing for QWERTY.

2u zero keys in Numpad need to have the 0 legend, not the 00.

Thank you!

Do watch a perfect December treat ; ) In a lot of regions it's a bit hard to get a hold off... 
The streaming options are slim outside of north-eastern Europe: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/tri-orisky-pro-popelku

But it seems Apple has available in the US at least: https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/three-wishes-for-cinderella/umc.cmc.1wcwyh2s9y2pd9vul5gv1guc0?at=1000l3V2&ct=effeteHalicore&playableId=tvs.sbd.9001%3A1469841576
(or have a look around YouTube...)

Have fun watching!

I just wanna say that this is a beautiful idea with a very unique execution using the three different sets of modifiers to model her three different outfits. I hope this does well.

Is Keyreative still accepting orders? I haven't seen a new KAT/KAM GB since Chincilla.

Or is that because designers are shunning them because of all the delays. Understandable, but if true I hope that changes soon. I love KAT profile!

Wow almost a full year since the last real update - sorry... not much to add again - yushakobo approached me to be an aditional vendor - check out https://shop.yushakobo.jp/en (https://shop.yushakobo.jp/en)

Like a lot of you the previous year of waiting for keysets did not help keep the momentum... Keyreative had a lot of trouble with all the covid restrictions so I felt it wiser to wait for some KAT/KAM sets to arrive before launching a GB...  (that said KAM Ghost dyesub looks great and looking forward to receiving KAT Napoleonic)

I did manage to put together a preview mini-site: https://kampopelka.mockbaroque.com (https://kampopelka.mockbaroque.com) have a look
and off course please keep filling out the interest form (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeHC3RaOdvHOs-0kjfx5GiMbGk2ky7VsNFXCn1SBVpLMR4Wkg/viewform) (with the additional alpha kits)  ; )

KAM Popelka 2023? who knows...
