[IC] GMK FUTURE FUNK 2 (GB Q1 2025)

<< < (23/24) > >>

kema:
Samples are in production rn, took a while for GMK to get the metallic flake from their supplier. Will share photos as soon as I get them, then share the update renders and kits.

Cannon Keys have slotted the GB for Q1 2025 to give us ample time to finalize things. Will see if it's viable for us to run both the metallic flake + OG flat colors because the IC response is really split.

I don't know more than that but if true, colors will have to be rethought or another manu will have to be used. I was thinking a translucent set in the same colors could be pretty fun.

Are the R2 neon colors different from R1 ?

Now this is the response I was hoping to see. Hopefully moq will be met on both.

Love it, glad it is coming back for round two. I like the glitter - if there was an option to get both it and the OG colour-way I'll be getting both. I got extremely lucky in that I missed out on the original GB as I wasn't in the hobby at the time but was able to pick up a set of caps and the OG deskmat at cost on the marketplace. I can understand why people would want to see it come back. Just to the deskmat, if the design wasn't final, instead of '2' I'd like to see it change to '2025' to reflect the the year like the OG mat. Can't wait to get this set. This and GMK Plum as the two sets I'd hope would have another run. I doubt GMK Plum will ever get another run so very happy to see this.

kema:
Hey all, got the samples with metallic flake from GMK and they didn't meet expectations, and GMK doesn't think they can improve on it by much, so we're moving forward with just flat color.
Will have new renders in a bit with some kit changes and kit additions this month.

They'll be the same, SwitchKeys was able to get GMK to produce the same magenta for their Retrowave set last year, so we should be ok!
