Title: [IC] GMK Saiyan
Post by: Jacob4341 on Fri, 06 April 2018, 14:09:52: (https://i.imgur.com/j1lI7yH.jpg)(https://i.imgur.com/Uqeqmz5.jpg)

Inspired by the Saiyan warriors of the show and manga Dragon Ball, GMK Saiyan encapsulates Goku and Gohan’s dōgi uniforms and comes in two accent colors: yellow and black, for the days when you don’t feel like going super. Included in the novelty kit are all 7 dragon balls for your number or function row. With this set on your favorite board you’ll be able to kick ass and still have Shenron on call in case you need your wishes granted.

This set will be double-shot ABS by GMK. Due to the necessity of using a custom color for blue, I am currently planning on using Massdrop as the vendor for this set. I'd very much like this set to reach MOQ and that is the most likely way it can happen. Additionally, they may be able to help in the case there are any licensing issues with FUNimation.

Base Kit
Uses a custom blue color on the modifiers (Pantone 2766 C). I will be getting color chips of this soon.

Answer the poll below to vote on having a hiragana kit or not. If there is enough interest I’ll get a render of the set with
these legends.

The dragon ball novelties are spectacular, and would look great on a numpad.

Id also totally go for a piccolo themed set.

That's a good point, however I don't think there are Chinese molds currently and I'd rather not be the first to make them.

Thanks! A piccolo colorway sounds like it would be great.

Title: Re: [IC] GMK Saiyan
Post by: HotRoderX on Sat, 07 April 2018, 02:45:06: I love to see the sub legends in the main set with the standard optional. I also love to see a set of modifier's added in homage to vegeta's very very first appearance in the show. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ab/Vegeta_First.PNG Some simple green mods would do the trick. Otherwise this is as exciting as the Diablo set.

Legend plates should cost the same regardless of the design.

Chinese would be awesome. I've wanted a nice Chinese set since I'm learning mandarin.

Either way, this set looks awesome!

Post by: wowremy on Mon, 23 April 2018, 23:05:28: Am I the only one who thinks the character/hair silhouette novelties are too much? I was thinking a Capsule Corp logo, or maybe a Shenron face silhouette. I feel like that would make the set not just a dbz set, but something anyone would like.

I agree with you. I do really like the Capsule Corp idea.
If I can suggest maybe a couple others:

I appreciate the feedback. I agree with you. I am working on novelties and alpha color.

Thanks for the input. Great ideas! Not sure why I didn't think of this sooner... you can expect to see most of these in the finalized novelty kit!

Yes, I like this idea actually, would be interesting to see a mock up of how the colors would look.
