actually only 1 was and it occured to me after i said that and then promptly picked that very one up to play, the fact that the caps are the same restores enough order to my world that i don’t notice 🤭 the purple and gray are swapped, but in a way that symmetry is still there and the natural order is preserved and frankly they play so amazing that id still play em even if i had to close my eyes lol honeycomb has literally not left my side. it gets to go on rides my unresponsives dont, but shh don’t tell them that :wink:🤫 edit: wait holy smokes, you’re right, the purple and gray is too!! wow i could have sworn it was different. thats some serious mandella effect there 🙃 i guess that’s how you trick my brain, don’t make it a solid swap, swap the caps too ---

I love the illusion effects of the engraving, I keep thinking it looks photo-shopped on in all of these Plasm pics because it’s so striking against the translucent plastic, haha. I love it. ---

My favorite Butterfly is an Unknown body with glow cap on one side, and glow body with Unknown cap on the other. ---
