Hello? Caps pairs Necropolis Apawstle v2 with Dia de los Muertos Vagabond for Halloween
The two sculpt releases were announced at 100 USD and 225 USD respectively. Both forms are now closed and invoices have been sent; the designs show a different side of the maker behind Bongo Cat.
Announcement date: October 31, 2026
Hello? Caps announced two Halloween-season artisan releases: Necropolis Apawstle v2 at 100 USD and Dia de los Muertos Vagabond at 225 USD. Both are listed as MX-compatible in the official Discord announcements’ form previews.
Both official forms were closed when checked on November 1, 2026. The maker had also confirmed that invoices for both sales were sent.
Necropolis Apawstle v2: a collaboration with haoN
The official form preview credits Apawstle as a collaborative sculpt between Hello? Caps and haoN. Necropolis presents it with a pale skull-like feline face, purple framing and paw details, and yellow accents around the eyes, ears and teeth.
The photograph places the caps among candy wrappers, softening the skeletal theme with a playful setting. This is Apawstle v2, a separate sculpt from Bongo Cat; the maker-linked archive also lists the earlier Apawstle alongside it.
Dia de los Muertos Vagabond
Vagabond takes a different approach, surrounding its recessed skull-like face with a white hood-shaped outline, red hearts and blue, green, yellow and pink markings. The Día de los Muertos theme emphasizes colorful skull decoration, creating a brighter counterpart to Necropolis’s pale-and-purple palette.
At 225 USD, Vagabond was priced separately from the 100 USD Apawstle release. These were two sales, not a combined two-keycap bundle. The extra pieces shown in the official photograph do not, by themselves, confirm accessories or purchase contents.
Who is Hello? Caps?
Hello? Caps is known for Bongo Cat, but its character lineup extends well beyond that sculpt. Artisan Collector’s historical maker profile traces the maker’s earlier work to Eggcaps during college, followed by Bongo Cat in late 2018 and the half-skull Schrodinger sculpt in 2019.
The official shop directs readers to a Keycap Archivist archive that lists Apawstle, Apawstle v2 and Vagabond as distinct designs. These two releases are a useful introduction to that wider range: both carry feline and skeletal features, yet their silhouettes and color treatment give them different identities.

What remains unconfirmed
An earlier announcement described the sales as open at the time of posting, but the later invoice notice and closed forms supersede that status. Keebpedia has not inferred a 24-hour window, a fixed payment deadline or a Vagabond dispatch date from previous Hello? Caps releases.
