I have some free time this week, maybe I'll check out the anime. Been a while since I watched anime.

Highly doubt these beauties will still be in stock by the time I come clamoring back for them though.

You should.
Evangelion is the best anime i have ever seen. And to be frank, i've seen quite a lot of them.
Nothing beats it. How the characters are designed, the music, everything.
It's just amazing.
But that's just me, some people don't really like it.

I like girldc's black creations but can't see the details as clearly as the gold and silver ones in this case. Probably better irl though.

It's supposed to look like Eva unit 01, from the (very pouplar) anime Evangelion.

It's a great watch, have yourself a google.

How long will this GB stay open, and when will you do the Maneki Neko GB?

It is to expose two weeks probably.
And the quantity begin production.

Shipment is complete by completing already beckoning cat.

For the time being, can not make the key cap probably.
Have a lot a little business of my other

Post by: xmagusx on Wed, 18 December 2013, 16:37:51: It looks very nice and I can appreciate why they wanted to go with Shinji's Eva, but I personally would have prefered Unit00, Unit02, or even Unit03, as I'd be less likely to accidentally impale myself on any of those.

Working on getting clarification, it seems that girldc has already shipped out a lot of the caps but failed a quality control check, only realizing after that there was a mistake in the production. His compensation offer is 25% off any of his next keycaps, and you get to keep the Eva one that he has sent you.

EDIT: Ignore this one, good news below !

Title: Re: [shipped] girldc Eva01 keycap
Post by: jalaj on Fri, 28 February 2014, 21:52:42: Wow, highly disappointed.
Does girldc even cares about his reputation, image, etc?
Here's a no brainer suggestion, first thoroughly test the product for quality, viability, and functionality prior to selling a product we will assume that is finished.

The freaking keycaps don't even lock onto the stem. And because they're so front heavy, pressing the key causes the keycap to fall off towards you.
With over at least ten keycap designs under his belt already produced and sold, these simple quality and functionality issues for newer keycaps should no longer be a problem right??? Where's the natural progression in the iterative approach? I'm just flabbergasted at this nuttery.

So here's the bazillion dollar question: Why would anyone want to continue to buy stuff from girldc in the future when he nonchalantly thinks he can pass off half baked goods at premium prices to others?

How about a group buy return (GBR) in response to this BS stunt?

Title: Re: [shipped] girldc Eva01 keycap
Post by: jalaj on Mon, 03 March 2014, 23:25:48: Ok, overreaction.
After using plastic wrap to shim the keycap onto the MX stem, they are now a snug fit.
Just annoyed with the stem fitting's poor quality control that does not align with the premium prices.
Informed girldc about the issue.
Not seeking any reimbursement.
It's just a poor excuse to have a loose stem after putting out 10+ different keycap designs, would think it is a nonexistent problem by now.

They show up in classifieds from time to time. Either look for one there or get enough posts to make your own WTB thread.
