Who is making these?

Some small chinese manufacturer. They have been sold out in China and I think it would be great to bring those to the community.

Agreed. Who does not love spiderman. I think a lot of people think of him as the most popular and well known of all the Marvel characters. It is actually kind of odd that we have rarely seen any spiderman keycaps given his popularity and how many superhero keycaps have been made.

ok, so it looks like they are machined and later painted (ie: they are not cast).

I'm a bit skeptical about durability of the paint. What kind of paint do they use? Are they coated?

Yep, wondering the same... When I first saw the caps I thought that these were anodized aluminum. I'm not sure how painted resin behaves

Good point Matt3o.

Durability is indeed an important issue. Depends on the final price if I take this "risk".

Durability is indeed an important issue. Depends on the final price if I take this "risk".

I haven't had any ones of these because they are all sold out. Thus, I have no idea about durability of caps. But the feedback of these caps is good.  The final price will be released soon.

I imagine them being pretty expensive, given the amount of time/labour it looks like it takes to make.

tbd, the cost is quite relatively high, but I'm trying to set the price reasonable and valuable.

Saw Eva and came rushing. Also interested in that heart pirate jolly Roger keycap.

I will ask him today for the Roger keycap. Stay tuned!

This IC has been running since August 5th with the intention to go to group buy so perhaps the other buy was put out there to get ahead?

I've got no personal interest in either buy and won't be participating just making an observation as geekhack grows and gets opportunities to participate in things that perhaps were formerly restricted to only being available from one individual. In this case we have the same items for sale but at different prices so how is that bad?
