Hero Arts Safari kit

It won't be identical, will it? What I got from the post is it will be made in it's likeness, so (my take) maybe people who have the kit already might be able to add to the kit? I KNEW it would win based on it's record sales, which makes me even that more excited to have been able to get it for less than asking (although I didn't get the ink cubes that came with the kit, which is fine by me) after foolishly waiting too long to get it. I'm also curious if they're going to make it 4x6 size since 6x8 is an uncommon production size for them...I only know of the kindness campaign set they offer at retail being in that size (but I could just be unaware).

I thought 18% of the vote was kind of low and then realized, wait, there weren't 12 kits, it was a vote between 23 kits. So yeah, that's a lot of the vote considering it represents only 4.4% of the kits or something like that, lol. I would have never guessed the second one would have gotten so much of the vote...but I don't 'get' the whole mermaid fascination, either.

It says reminiscent, which is where I figured it won't be identical.  Part of it might be that they realize how much it's going for at resale and know that people who've paid the inflated price wouldn't be thrilled to have it recreated and more easily accessible, but it might also be as simple as wanting to keep their promise that the kits would never be available at retail.  It might dilute the value if people think there is a shot that HA could change their mind.

I sure how they have a die like that sun die!!

Does anyone know when the new catalog comes out or when they will re-release the safari stamps?
