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.

Hiragana Kit
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.

I have no idea how nobody ever thought of this before, but it's amazing.

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

Id also totally go for a piccolo themed set.

I think hiragana could look nice with the set, but Chinese might look better since much of the anime is inspired by Chinese culture.

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.

There aren't enough green keysets in this world!

I'm not even a Dragonball fan and I want this. That orange would look great and hiragana sub legends would be even better.

HotRoderX · « **Reply #10 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.

That looks amazing! I like the idea of the kamehameha novelty enter, but think it will be quite an expensive mold as well. Hope this goes live!

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!

It's different. I think I like it? Yup, Like it.

PRkeys · « **Reply #16 on:** Fri, 13 April 2018, 10:26:20 »

This set is crazy but at the same time awesome!

tex_live_utility · « **Reply #17 on:** Fri, 13 April 2018, 11:09:37 »

This is a really interesting colorway even if you don't care about Dragonball.

megalord · « **Reply #18 on:** Sat, 14 April 2018, 17:13:34 »

YES! The colors are so good. I want the set, just for the colors.

Instant buy when available.

instant buy aswell

skizosavior · « **Reply #21 on:** Fri, 20 April 2018, 23:12:26 »

Definitely a ton of recency bias on my part, but if there could be some novelty about Ultra Instinct that would be absolutely hype

anatworkaccount · « **Reply #22 on:** Fri, 20 April 2018, 23:15:44 »

This looks pretty great, really digging the novelties.

wowremy · « **Reply #23 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:

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!

Looks awesome! I would be in for sure!

Custom colours? V2 cv and v4 seem close enough to the manga. Compare them with Photoshop?

Updates on this? Not a super fan of the novelties, but I do like dragon ball...

Love the dragon balls.
But where is the dragon?

I know it does not fit the saiyan theme, but how about a green namek novelty?

Are you insaiyan?

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