Can't dyseub on abs due to the heat in the dye process, melt the plastic, so that's not a possibility. Could padprint on doubleshot, but there would be no point since you can multicolor pad print anyway.
I think if there was a black outline it would look better on white. Could always move away from 8bit style and do something more detailed from the arcade art.

I always thought this alternate take on pacman was pretty neat...

An outline wouldn't suffice for the 8-bit style - it really wants a black background to contrast the whites of their eyes.

And it has to be 8-bit style, I think. We could vote, but I'm pretty sure that would be the winner :)

Ok so who knows a good place for pad print in China or somewhere that don't care about copyrights? That's going to be the only option to get them done like that multicolor on black. Or maybe qwerkeys could do it with infill?

This set on white keys just doesn't make much sense to me. It needs to be black somehow. Even if we are stuck with just a pac man and dots, although that would be a shame.

First cool caps and great ideas.

But what is up with all these pony referances? Is this a web thing or a GH thing?

It is a web thing, and if I am not mistaken, it started at 4Chan.

I was thinking one way of overcoming the doubleshot/dyesub problem is to still make them as doubleshot keycaps, but forgo a bit of detail:

It's too bad we're not at the point where triple shot (or more?) is readily available and commonplace in the group buy world.

This boy needs therapy! Purely psychosomatic! You're a nut! You're crazy in the coconut!
Yea triple/quad shots would be hawt merchandise!

Has anyone asked is Sleabo could do engraved/infilled of these? That way they could be done on black caps and not lose the ghost faces. Seeing what he did with the creeper caps, he can definitely do 8-bit looking detail.

I think those look really good, jeroplane. But you forgot the dark blue ghost. :P

Seeing those ghost outlines gives me another idea...Space Invaders!

Nailing the blocky low-res look with doubleshots will be a challenge.  Also, SP will likely refuse to produce them due to trademark issues.

Or better yet, make a Space Invaders numpad set, I can see that working better than a pacman one.

Yeah there was an imsto group buy previously. Sadly, the whole thing fell apart at the end.

Would definitely like to get a PAC MAN set someday.

I was sad about the pac man set, but I was ever more upset about he MLP set :(

This was a thing at one point? Sweet jesus I'd be all over that, replace my white esc with Rarity's cutie mark, would be great. Now as for the pac man set I'd also be interested, shame to hear a previous GB fell under for that.
