Introducing Ramu Fans keycap set
Ramu Fan is a keycap set inspired by one of my favorite Japanese soda drinks, ラムネ (Ramu Bottle). Specifically, the wonderful grape flavour. The set includes the base keys plus some (still work in progress) novelties.

Fun Novelties
Ramu Fan will have a novelty set that continues the fun theme of Ramu Bottle. This is still a work in progress with more coming soon.

If you have any fun ideas, add a note in the interest form or in this thread!

And to celebrate all their flavors, a fruity number row as well:

If there is enough interest, having additional flavors would be great.

Continuing to iterate on the novelty keycaps, reworked which keys will have novelties using some of my current keycaps as inspiration. One decision that I need to make is whether the fruity keys are bundled with novelties or separate.

Here is a mock with all the current novelties on a keyboard. I'm liking the look so far though.

I am loving the enter keys and the vending machine and the fruity row, the rest I'm not yet 100% happy with. But I will keep iterating.

It would be helpful to include who your prospective manufacturer might be (GMK, PBTFans, etc...) as well as the material and profile of the keycaps!
Right now, all we can see whether we like the colors and designs, but not much about preferred materials/prices/profiles/etc...
GLWIC!
