Kraken Rebels’ Lick de Ball artisans are available through a group buy running November 2–8, 2026. The collection brings decorated skull faces, floral accents and saturated colors to sculpted keycaps, with four choices listed by UK vendor proto[Typist].

A small sculpture with a colorful theme

The vendor describes this edition as inspired by the visual spirit of Mictlan. Product images combine pale skull-like faces with brightly colored markings, flowers and small symbols, against black or white bodies and contrasting bases.

The choices are Black Alma, White Alma, Black Xolo and White Xolo. Each is an individual artisan selection, so the four-cap promotional image should not be read as a four-piece bundle.

Who makes it, and what fits?

Kraken Rebels is credited with both the design and manufacturing. This release uses multi-cast resin construction, rather than the ordinary molded keycaps supplied in a full keyset.

The listing calls the profile Cherry and specifies Cherry MX compatibility. That identifies the stated format and mounting compatibility; a sculpted artisan still has its own shape above the key, so the product gallery is worth checking when choosing its position on a keyboard.

Price, deadline and shipping

The proto[Typist] storefront displayed £45.83 per selected artisan when checked. Treat that as the observed GBP listing price; destination taxes and shipping can change the final checkout total.

The retailer gives a start of November 2 at 09:00 and a close of November 8 at 23:30, without an explicit timezone beside those dates. This replaces the announcement’s relative “five days” wording with an absolute date range.

Proto[Typist] estimates shipment to customers on or before March 31, 2027. Toro Studio separately lists February 2027 for shipment to its warehouse. Those are different stages of fulfillment, so the earlier warehouse date is not a promise of February delivery to a buyer.
