Are those nipple homing keys? Just a render mistake or will you not be offering scoops?

I feel as though the actual Night Sakura caps are more similar to the rendered colors of Fitness Studio than they are to the renders of Night Sakura shown here. It will be interesting to see a comparison once Fitness Studio is manufactured.

Although I dont have a set at hand, I doubt it would be like that. If yes, then the set (Nightsakura) would have been called a scam by now since the colors are pretty different. So its safe to say NS was made correctly according to the renders.

In any case, this is the closest comparison I can do at this time.

Hope that clears any confusion on how different the colors are.

Given the benefit of doubt, that you have perfect photography skills with your phone camera with perfect lighting, do you see that the mods are black?
Or how about the fact, that the alphas are greyer and darker?

Or the fact that the pink is more peachy?

Again, the comparison is to show they are not the same colors and thats definitely true. With so many sets in the wild right now, there are bound to be sets which are somewhat close.
But saying, its the same is exaggeration.

Gotta be honest. This ain't it homie. At first glance, there's a severe disproportionate amount of effort put into this set versus previous sets you've run, especially if you consider there being only 1 basekit with 2 child kits (with alternate arrows being thrown in the spacebars kit). 

The deskmats are uninteresting, and none of them look like they're related to the theme.

Why you went with pink, I have no idea, because pink is the last color I'd think of when thinking about a gym or working out... First color I think anyone would think of when going to a gym outside of gray or black would be red. And the color palette with pastel-ish pink and gray/dolch just makes it seem like something from PBTFans.

I think this is like your 5th or 6th GMK set you've run, and to my knowledge, I don't think one has delivered yet. I've loved what you've done with previous sets like Zen Pond and Pharaoh, but this one makes me think you just made this set because you think it's easy $

Don't mean to be harsh and I'm rooting for ya because you've made some good sets, but it feels like you phoned it in here

The IC was posted on 15th May 2021. This particular set when through 3 sets of iteration (novelties and colors) and re-renders according to the IC form request. So, in theory, a lot of effort was put into this set.

So if you still think that iterating 3 times and waiting 1 year 2 months for a set to go into GB was a brilliant strategy of cash grabbing then there is probably nothing I can say to change that.


The colors are based on my preferences. And as preferences go, you may not like what I like and thats completely acceptable.

Glad you liked ZP and Pharaoh though.

Unfortunately, due to the low amount of sales, today we decided to cancel the GB.
The people who bought the set will be refunded by the vendors.
