[IC] KAM Popelka | New Kits! - French/Belgian & Spanish/Italian

[Michabc]

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/ 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...

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.

Love seeing a set with such unique inspiration! And now I want to watch the movie, too. I love fairy tales and the film seems like fun!

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.

this oddly looks delicious... Great set and GLWIC

I just filled the form.
So excited about a keycap set including french AND both Mac OS and Windows R4 caps. That's just ... amazing. Never found this kind of set.
Hope it'll sold

Thank you for making latam Alphas. It's really rare to find them. I'll try to make some space in my cc to join this GB.

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!

[Michabc]

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

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 have a look
and off course please keep filling out the interest form (with the additional alpha kits)  ; )

KAM Popelka 2023? who knows...
