Interest Checks / [IC] MTNU A History of Violets (A History of Violets R2)

Interest Form
News
April 21, 2026: IC Launched
It's been a year since SA A History of Violets was released, as seemingly one of the final SA sets we're going to see anytime soon. (And with maybe the largest and most ostentatious SA kitting of the 2020s.) In spite of a high price tag, and being in a less popular (but beloved by some, including me) profile, it wound up performing really well.
Even before it sold out, I heard from people looking to see it rerun in a more accessible (in terms of sculpt, and price) profile. The availability of cadet legends in MTNU led me to see how it might turn out. The resulting renders looked great to me, and folks on the GMK Discord liked them too. A rerun started to seem like a good idea.
I wound up getting a bit burnt out this winter, trying and failing to get one last SA set off the ground. But after a few months away from the keyboard scene, I'm back, rested, and ready to try to move forward with this project again.
Vendors
TBD
Dates
TBD
Colors and Materials
Colors will be matched to the original SA run (Signature Plastics's WFK cream, RDR rich purple, and REC dark purple). Keys will be doubleshot PBT.
Direct and indirect sunlight
SA Violets samples
Kitting
Grand Base Kit
Includes numpad, 4-key 40s, HHKB coverage, and UK ISO. Alert row is forced, due to the overwhelming popularity of the alert row in the SA run. I'm of the opinion that the whole point of an alert set is to have alert be the default, rather than making it an add-on. And this is very much an alert set. UK is included here because a full international kit is unlikely, due to the cadet sublegends. A Typist kit isn't likely either, for the same reason.
Extras
Novelties, additional spacebars, alternates, and more 40s support. Switchbox.studio's stylized violet flower novelty will carry over, although properly-sized this time. (The SA run's legend was a little larger than intended.)
Ran Out of Cream Un-alert Row
A longshot option for a regular numrow. I don't know that this is commercially viable, so if you want it, speak up in the interest form to see if we can make it happen!
Pricing
TBD; Pricing will be in line with previous MTNU grand base sets.
Additional Board Renders

SDR Calibration a bit weird, but that's normal these days. ~242nits 100% full field. If it had a better tonemapper it could do more, buhhh it is what it is.
Mild disappointment that there's no calibration settings for HDR, probably burried in the service menu that no one has unlocked yet.

I ran into a couple of issues and I posted it on your github page.
I'm running a Type 7 on Windows 11.
