What's new
BUT, you should use different colored balls to the paws. I like yellow ball with pink paw for example.
I know Lions3 made yellow (same colour like the p1 cat) paws . Misteraddons ones are also nice ones , but are not available on the yellow colour (with this occasion maybe he will make a batch of the yellow ones)

On Uo Poko you need the diagonals to be able to nudge up your "spring" when you pull it too low.

Is there an ETA on when orders will open? I don't want to miss this!
The Sega panel metal cutout is slightly off on the lower angles. Not terribly noticeable, but worth addressing.

I have @alberto1225 checking on this.

I wouldn’t worry about catching the stock “release”. These will remain open for sale as long as Alberto is willing to produce and ship them.

You got an ETA on the E2 panel so I can double check the fit?

Yellow joystick ball and pink paw, which is available at at both! Misteraddons include a silicone ring that helps the paws not jiggle.
 
I have a set from Lions3. they're very nice: https://lions3.com/products/uo-poko-balltop-cover-reproduction

Based on the in-game Graphics and official arts the P1 joystick is green and the P2 joystick is Pink. Then to match the cat fur color P1 should be a yellow paw and P2 should be a pink paw

meaning the ideal color combo is:
P1: green ball with yellow paw
P2: pink ball with pink paw
 
The Lions3 ones are Sold Out according to the link, have been for some time (I checked a few months back).
 
I’ve got both @misteraddons and lions3’s cat paws and I like MisterAddons the best.

They’re brighter in color, and feel authentic weight-wise because of the hollowed out inside. MisterAddon’s on the left, lions3 on the right:

You can also see the difference in quality here ^. Smoother, cleaner finish.

Inside comparison:

Not having that infill and having studs for the screws keeps the weight down and closer to what the originals were like.

The downside is there’s no yellow paw, but I bet if there’s enough interest, Misteraddons could add possibly add it.

OK, real pics incoming...

The packaging was fine for me, but @everten says future orders will be packed even better so no worries about damage or poor packing here!

I cannot order from my man without getting some awesome extra stuff. TOP QUALITY all the way. I love these little add ons for PCBs. Keep rocking man.

IMG_8933.jpeg
OK, there is one miss, WTH is this? Looks nothing like the E2. Hmm, get a new artist dude. (kidding of course, awesome stuff in here, stickers and clear dust covers. THANK YOU!)

IMG_8934.jpeg
Great packing up, down, and around.

Art and printing look fantastic. Slightly blurry IF you are zooming in a lot or are very picky. To my eye, looks great, to include the color.

Here is a zoom in. No one plays and looks at a CP close like this, except that one friend we all have. Don't invite him over for Uo Poko night, he'll annoy everyone.

Really, on the cab it looks amazing. Love the color, love the art, love the placement. Well done! But how flush is it???

IMG_8939.jpeg
Right side, perfect.

IMG_8940.jpeg
Left side perfect.

Bottom side perfect.

Top edge, slight, SLIGHT, gap. HOWEVER, my real OEM CP has a bigger gap on all 4 sides, so this panel is actually TIGHTER than the real deal. This tiny top gap can easily be mitigated by sliding the panel slightly up before you tighten down. Seriously, it's as good as can be possibly done with a CP! It looks great!

IMG_8938.jpeg
Like I just said, it looks freaking great!

IMG_8950.jpegIMG_8952.jpeg
If you haven't seen the bottom of these compared to an OEM CP, they are missing the little metal tabs on the OEM ones.

IMG_8951.jpegIMG_8953.jpeg
And the joystick bases are welded on instead of screwed on.

But none of that matters, it sits great and fits great. Again, the fit is TIGHTER and BETTER than my Egret II OEM CP, so this is fantastic and a win in my book.

Now, I just need to convince the wife I need an Astro version and I'll be buying a second one!

By the way, our cats recently crossed the rainbow bridge so I was checking out pound kitties and found this orange one and got him for Halloween, but the pound said Halloween colors are orange and black, so I was forced to take them both. 12 weeks old and not named yet, but we are leaning towards Jackson (black) and River (black) from a show we like.

The wife is open to video game names though, so if you have any ideas, let me know after you post about how cool the panel is!
