GMK CYL King of the Seas opens at KBDfans in two colorways at once

MiKeyDigit's nautical doubleshot ABS set opened at KBDfans on 2026-04-28 and runs through 2026-05-31. The rarer angle is the two-colorway split — The Sovereign in deep ocean blues and The Mutation in electric pink, sold concurrently inside the same buy rather than staggered as separate runs.
