Had the same feeling with GMK Demon Sword last year. From the render you can see the red and blue should be lighter, abit dull and muted, but the result is a bright red and deep navy blue which none of those colors are match to the render or the model of the anime character on IC page.

While that works for larger companies with a lot of spare cash (and those companies should do it), smaller companies or individuals don’t have the ability to do so. This way they can scale the manufacturing order off the group buy, and not end up with a bunch of debt and products that didn’t sell.

Just my 2 cents in case you guys are wondering. GMK only accept to make a set with physical chips of the colors you want(ed). The thing is that most of the time people use HEX colors and not real colors so they’re fucked. This is what happened on many sets of Ren (especially PnC who does not look like at all like the renders).

Why are there so many JellyKey employees brigading these threads and downvoting any legitimate criticism of their stated timelines and failures to hit them? <== We don't downvote your comment, it is not right, please don't accuse me.

This is really irresponsible on the runner and unacceptable for how much the keycaps cost.

Really expecting top tier quality check and colour matching with how expensive it is.

Gmk GB Runners should have the final sample set before the group buy start to instill confidence that the product is possible and the colors are accurate to the renders.

I dont think you know whats going on. Dont pretend its clear.

Edit: Look... i too once had 2 GBs "cooking" with JellyKeys. And i too got upset when i saw new GBs come out before mine finished. I was even more upset when i realized i wanted to keep joining GBs but as time went on kwpt wondering where my stuff is. Im not going to keep joining GBs if theyre not going to send me anything.

So i let a GB go by that i wanted.

Then my retro tv showed up and i was blown away. Then not long later my 8bit backspace showed up.

Now im full team jellykeys. Their stuff is insane. And they are constantly doing weekly raffles while still producing their GBs. This isnt something to be upset about. Your GB is coming. I promise you when you get yours youll wish you werent hating on them before. Yes it sucks when a GB is delayed. But frankly thats the nature of a GB. Sometimes deadlines get hit, often times not. If youre not okay waiting it sounds like crowd funded projects arent your thing. Preorders are your thing because the product is mostly finished and doesnt need your money to be finished. Thats not true for a GB. If you dont like that concept then stick to preorder and in stock products.

Not group buy goods and services fam. Its in the fine print. Dont like it dont join a fucking group buy and go buy in stock parts.

Also they arent even an american company. So good luck trying to leverage anything against them. Again, dont like it dont join the gb.

I felt cheated by the GMK Hanami Dango set. I was cool with waiting cause I just purchased and forgot but to see how it just didn’t match the renders or what the vendor promised me made me pretty bitter.

I’m basically only going to buy keycaps that have photos posted of them. Learned my lesson.
