Unfortunately production on this set is cancelled. Perhaps one day we will revisit it, but thank you all for supporting!

KBM Byakugou

This set is inspired by the hanging wisteria flowers in Byakugo-ji. Byakugo-ji is a famous temple in Tamba City, Japan. It is known for its wisteria viewing every year from the beginning to the middle of May. The set draws heavily upon the nice and classic purple colors in the wisteria while the novelties draw upon historical and cultural significances of the wisteria in Japan.

I'm probably gonna give this a go, nice pricing for 40s dingdongs like me. Kinda puzzled about your renders though - Laur's seem in line with the kit flatlays, what's up with Mr Bingo's? Alphas seem neither light- nor mod-coloured?

Had my glasses off and got really excited before I clicked and realized it wasn't about Bakugan

I think it's the lighting I requested. Let me check just to make sure though

KBM does samples before GB, right? Do you have any photos available?

Cute colorway~ :thumb:

They do! I do have some photos, but unfortunately they're a little bit low quality. I can post them but I would like to wait till we get higher quality ones if possible.

This is available from every other vendor except the UK one (ProtoTypist), whom when I asked said this is cancelled in their Discord. Has there been a miscommunication?
