GMK CYL Alter Redux
Details
Redux?
TLDR
New Mod color, it’s darker, which will allow for more contrast, the alphas are the same. Condensed, more modern kitting, Alter keys moved into the base kit, Alt keys removed outright. Grail dead.
Long Version
First, some backstory. When we were planning GMK Alter, we originally had a selection of mod colors that we were going to use. There was one that Sifo liked and wanted to use, but we thought it really didn’t match the renders, and in the end we chose a lighter gray, which was the best match to the renders that we had sold the set based on. So, when I asked Sifo if I could run Alter R2, he said I could. However, this came with the stipulation that I had to use the mod color that he wanted initially, which takes us away from Alter R2 and into Alter Redux, which I’m fine with, so now we’re here.
Beyond this, Sifo has had almost no involvement with the development, kitting, etc. of this set. I think he’s reaching/has reached out to some artisans to do collabs, so you might see those pop up soon. Unless you’re reaching out to do collabs, please contact me with any questions relating to the set.

Preliminary Pricing
- $109.99 USD for the Base Kit
- $19.99 USD for the Novelties Kit.
Colors
ll colors are custom, and all colors have been made before by GMK. The modifier was a color that we already had GMK Samples for, but was never used in the original run of GMK Alter. (The mod we ended up using is the color on the far right!)
Set
base
I’ve moved the Alter keys into the base kit and removed the Alt keys. Realistically, mostly anyone deranged enough to buy Alter Redux would use the Alter Keys over the Alt keys. During Pre-IC polling it was at least a 9:1 in favor of this change. Aside from that, this kit was meant to cover most popular layouts, physically if nothing else. If I’m missing something for a specific popular layout, please let me know, so I can talk it out and consider adding it.
novelties
It’s a tiny kit, and won't cost too much. I removed one novelty for reasons. Do not ask, please. Have a radster instead. It’s rad. A change will be made to this kit, whereby the 1.5 R4 novelty will be removed before the sale.
