About the Set
The theme is simple enough: taro bubble tea. I was drinking some one day and thinking about how much I liked the color and it dawned on me that it might make for a pretty good looking keyset. The purple tones were nice but I thought it needed something more, so I went with cyan and yellow accents, which represent the crazy-colored straws that most boba places have.
This set will be cherry profile, produced by GMK, using good old doubleshot ABS. The purple colors will be custom, hex codes of /#8E71A2 and /#170B19, the cyan and yellow are TU2 and CV from GMK.


Kits
We’ve got 3 kits: Base, Spacebar, and Novelties, there are fancy renders below, but here’s our GMK renders, just so everyone knows what we’ve got lined up with them.



Pricing
Pricing is as follows:
Base (at 250 moq): $155
Spacebars (at 100/150/250 moq): $30/$28/$24
Novelties (at 250 moq): $20
Shipping will be $10 Conus. Panc.co will be handling non-EU as well as non-CN orders, our current estimate is that shipping will be roughly $26 for those customers.
GMK’s current lead time is roughly 14 weeks, so with time taken to nail the colors, current estimated shipping is sometime in June.

Tie ins
I’m proud to say that we’ve got some very awesome people collaborating with us to offer even more Taro-related goodies!
GAF

For starters, one lucky purchaser of GMK Taro will win a Boba Burbs Garbo Puss, created by GAF. This colorway was produced using the hex codes for the set, so while it may not wind up being a 100% match to the finished product, it should be an amazing addition to any board using Taro!
Keyforge
The other Taro-related tie in is brought to you by none other than Keyforge! He’s going to be conducting a raffle for Taro-themed caps for GB participants at the end of the group buy. He’ll be conducting the sale in his typical format otherwise, but note: non-purchasers of GMK Taro will be ineligible.
Unfortunately we won’t have pictures, but that’s because he’s going to be waiting to make the caps till we have samples and production colors confirmed so that the colors can be as well-matched as possible!
