Kitting
This set will be using KKB's metallic effect ABS for the gold legends and accent keys. Do note that the process of creating metallic ABS involves special powders that are subject to the various injection flow patterns in each cap, creating a unique (and unpredictable) result. There will also be ultimately inherent limits in emulating the lustrous and shiny appearance of metal in plastic.

Just a heads up that we're still confirming final quantity orders from vendors, but with the data collected so far, with the assistance of extras, we've reached the minimum order quantity for production to be confirmed.

Many thanks to all who supported this project during the group-buy period!
Each purchase here was incredibly critical in ensuring the project wasn't cancelled early and we could push this set towards production.

Keep an eye open for vendors listing any pre-orders!

<3 boba and valk

(Happy Lunar New Year!)

P.S. the packaging/box-art will feature gold foil and is going to look amazing <3
