PBT Toby is part face, part icon.

Inspiration
This set is based on my buddy Toby,
(
https://www.instagram.com/barrett_creative/) a woodworker and solid meme of a guy.
The set has
inspirations from woodworking, but also Toby’s signature
outfit. He has cameoed in some of my YouTube videos and
streams, and has gained a cult following.
I was a bit
inspired by other face sets, but decided to go my own
direction with how I portray the face and kept it more
minimal to not impact kitting too heavily.
PBT toby
incorporates calming flesh tones Alphas, golden and beard
colored accents, and elegant green mods.
This idea was
conceived as a late night meme, and then developed over time
into a real thing. One night on discord we all changed our
profile pictures and names to Toby and the idea was
conceived to make all things Toby.
After that, It all
started with a reddit post that got over 1k upvotes

Kitting
Kitting includes the iconic Toby face and Hat - E and
I represent the eyes, B is the nose, and spacebar is the
moustache/beard. It also includes standard color
replacements for all of the meme keys so it can be used as a
normal set as part of the base kit. Barebones ISO support is
also included. I have an audience that is newer to
keyboards, so I wanted to keep the kitting simple enough to
incorporate many layouts, but not confuse anyone. There
might be mistakes, and I’m open to suggestions.

Production
I
currently am prototyping the set through a factory in china
and will have prototypes to show off in the next month or
so. This will be a dyesub PBT set. No matter what, I will be
doing a limited run of 100 sets. I decided to run with a
cheaper PBT set as I feel it fits the scuffed meme, and I
don’t really want to further bog down proper manufactures
like GMK. There is a small chance I will run this as a group
buy, depending on if the IC feedback warrants a greater
production run than 100 sets. But I expect to have the set
ready for an in stock sale by Q3 2021.
Pricing/Vendors
Vendors
are still in progress but I am in talks with vendors that
are comfortable running the set as in-stock or as a group
buy. Toby himself is a woodworking vendor, so there is a
decent chance if it remains as a 100 stock run we will ship
through him.
The pricing is still TBD but I am aiming
for $60 - $90 for the full base kit which should be
reasonable provided my current factory quotes.

Final Thoughts
Special thanks to everyone in my
discord that helped out with the designing!
Thanks to
Toby for letting me use your face for this set, you are the
best Anime character.
Yee haw to all the people in the
Glarses Discord and on Reddit that encouraged me to make
this low effort meme a medium effort set.
