Title: [IC]My name is Iron Man
Post by: cinnn on Tue, 06 August 2013, 06:49:06
A month ago. I released a few in the forum dimensional picture. Cursory introduction about my products.
Right now. Samples is out.
After careful not handle. After 5 days. You will see a more perfect Iron Man.

This is the initial state. To go through a lot of processing. Please understand. Stay tuned.

They only need 66 $, and include shipping.
But orders at 300-500

That looks quite good, however I doubt you'll reach your MOQ of 300 for those. Not many members are willing to shell out $66 on a single keycap.

I think plenty would pay that much just not 300 people. ;)

I think 15-30 would be more realistic.

OK, thank you for  clarifying.

I was thinking.
But if they were to distinguish it individually.
My plan will have five colors in the Iron Man was produced.
Gold, silver, black, white, spots.

Interested to see what you can work up!!

Oh, I'd be interested in getting a gold one, and applying some red acrylic modeling paint. Get the true Iron Man look.

I'll be keeping an eye on this, and pending funds on my side, just might make a go at it.

Nice sample there! But I really hope one day you can release different one without the base, just the head only ^^

i like this keycap, but the price..  :blank: i won't spend that much on a single keycap

I don't know about the price, maybe more information on the quality of materials will help convince people. For example if it was made out of titanium or whatever. That is a steep price for something I don't know anything about.

I found your earlier thread stating it was zinc alloy. I'd like to see pictures of the others before I seriously consider purchase. I'm watching the thread so do a shout out when you have some pictures. Particularly of the black.

66$ incl. shipping is an ok price.

If this was colored in red/gold like the real iron man, I'd order one :)

If you could also do a black Darth Vader / white Storm Trooper cap I'd be even more interested!

They look very nice. IMO ask someone to organize a GB for you and your are ready to go. The other question is how quick are you able to build them all

Looks pretty good, but is it possible to make the eyes a bit smaller or thinner to keep it more realistic?

i'd be pretty down for an iron man if it wasn't ridiculously priced.. or if it was plastic. i want a goddamn iron iron man!

That Is quick. Do not pay any atention to some negative comments and get in touch with some guys with GB experience and get the ball rolling.

^ You are a new member and if I remember well you are not allow to run  a GB by yourself. Seems to me that a GB is required, in order to make your keycaps more affordable (less expensive). The GB has to be run by someone else. Both you and the GB leader will work together to define the prices/shipping fees/colors/delivery times/etc. feng is Chines and he ran some GB before, so he maybe able to help you out. Send him and PM.

You need 60 posts, but trust is an issue usually.

I think that is the only requirement.

I am a freshman.
I know you don't trust me so much.
But I have my own way to prove myself.
It is a gift.
I was in GH at the beginning, the first 20 orders submitted, and the number of more than 5. Will get a gold iron man, and do not need to pay any fees. They can choose after receiving my iron man and then decide whether or not to complete the order of payment. This should be a good way to.
But I still need more help from everyone.

So how much are you expecting these to cost then??? Even if you give them away people will probably still only want to pay as little as possible.

These do look interesting.  Any picture of the bottom so we can see how they mount?  And what metal are you using and what's the shrinkage like?

I thought he had pictures a few days ago. The pictures of the bottom looked pretty good, there was sort of an oval hole around the stem. The Cherry MX stem of the keycap was round, if I remember correctly. I believe they are CNC milled, so there is no shrinkage.

I think he means on order above 5 you get a gold Iron man cap free, but you have to pay for AFTER you receive it, this his way of showing that he is not a scamster as he is giving one keycap on orders of 5 without taking advance payment.

Did I get this right:

If I am among the first 20 orders and order more than 5 iron man caps I get one free? I am a little bit confused ;)

When will this interest check turn into a GB?
