GROUP BUY INFORMATION1. There is no official announcement at the moment, it is currently only on KBDFans, there will be a group buy post later today (1/1/22) in the GB thread.
2. They will be running from now until March 21st 2022, other vendors will start in February.
3. The vendors have coordinated the group buy date to be February 25th, 2022
4. Fulfillment dates should also be consistent with all vendors, meaning they will all ship out at the same time probably q1-2 2023. (Can’t really do anything about that)
5. Thank you again for your support and patience with this set!
INTEREST CHECK FOR GMK MERCURYA set inspired by the element Mercury
INTEREST FORMIf you have some time, and are interested in this set
I would appreciate if you could fill out this interest check form!
I. MERCURY EXPLAINEDMore
Mercury is an element with the symbol Hg on the periodic table. Mercury is commonly known as quicksilver and the reason why the symbol is Hg is because it was once called hydrargyrum. Mercury is the only known metallic element to be in a liquid state at standard atmospheric conditions. Mercury occurs naturally throughout the world mostly as cinnabar (mercury sulfide). Vermilion is a pigment created from grinding natural cinnabar or synthetic mercury sulfide.
Mercury is commonly known to be used in thermometers and barometers. These devices are used to tell differences in the atmosphere, and are used by weather forecasters and scientists alike. Mercury is also used in amalgam (mercury and metal alloy) in dental restoration.
Poisoning due to Mercury is a result from exposure to water-soluble forms such as mercury chloride or methylmercury, through inhalation of the vapors or ingestion.
Mercury is one of my favorite elements and is the inspiration for this set!
II. COLORS
- PANTONE 428C (GREY)
- GMK WS2 (WHITE)
- GMK N9 (DARK GREY)
For the colors I wanted to go with something that reflects mercury due to its silvery shiny nature.
I also may change the accents depending to either red (to represent cinnabar) or a different white/grey.
I chose to go with a bluish grey for the alphas and darker greys for the mods.

Novelties ExplainedMore
Periodic Symbol : This is the symbol that can be found on the periodic table that represents the element Mercury, its molar mass, and atomic mass.
Conical / Erlenmeyer Flask : A common flask used in chemistry for experiments that can be used to heat or boil liquids, it is also used in titration.
Rhombohedron : This is the symbol used to represent the crystal structure of the element Mercury.
Altimeter : Although modern altimeters use what is known as an aneroid, Mercury was used in the basis and invention of barometers to sense pressure changes in the environment.
At higher altitude pressure decreases, and thus a change in the environment causes the aneroid to sense the altitude.
Alchemical Symbol : This was the symbol used to represent Hydrargyrum (Mercury) in alchemy. It is also the astrological symbol for the planet Mercury.
Thermometer Scale : Mercury is used in thermometers, however thermometers that contain a red liquid is alcohol to which red coloring has been added.
