Introducing
STAY GOLD from KBK. From the False Idol Line of caps. Some quick pics from various angles and a few different exposures. Non flash shots most accurately depict the true color.

Another very impressive and incredibly detailed cap from KBK. When I first viewed my newest addition to my KBK family, I immediately thought of the 24K gold trinkets I had as a kid and window shopping in downtown Chinatown at the gold and jade idols. So for color comparison, I included a 1oz Krugerrand which has some kinda antelope or something on there. The 24K gold is a little more "gold", but the False Idol's metallic gold color is fairly close in color.
I find that HipsterPunk shoots for detail in these caps similar to the Dr. Witch cap or the Warus. But since the caps are so small, I think all of that intricate carving starts to blur a bit at a quick glance. Plus I'm trying to understand the third eye? Maybe a cyclops eye similar to the left and right eyes would have had more of the desired effect. Right now it looks a bit like a hole, especially since the right and left eyes look exactly like eyes complete with eye lids etc....
The cap itself is very light and fits perfectly on my MX Stems. Not too loose and not too tight. And I tried the cap on my vintage MX Blacks which are always a bit looser and my MX Clears which are much tighter fitting. No problems.
Caps are VERY thick. OG DS Cherry cap for comparison sake:

I know HP's intention was for this cap to resemble a baby calf. So especially with the gold color and the False Idol theme, I can't help but think of the Ten Commandments:

But the snout sure resembles a more comical and very familiar character:

So all in all, a very nice addition to the KBK family. Definitely a COOL CAP!! But as I view my current KBK collection, I for one am hoping that HP remolds his DL I and DL II. Or hopefully he crafts some caps similar to his artwork.
Parting group shot to show height and angle compared to some of my other KBKs.
