Deep inside of a mountain in Sweden, I have been hard at work Kingspin. I have made the decision to take the company in an entirely new direction, for those of you who have followed since January. We’re doing a metal.
I will be powdercoating each yoyo myself. I plan to offer White, another color (probably scarlett or indigo), and Tropic Black. Tropic black is an amazing powder that changes color from green to black right before your eyes. Its very hard to describe. Expect to pay a $5-10 premium for TB.
I am currently talk with my machinist about it, but the price should be around $80-90.
Thats all I will let out of the bag for now, but keep on the lookout for new information as I get it.
What will probably end up happening is that I will get two protos- one for me and one to send to various people. I will have more than one reviewer, but I will not choose randomly. When I get protos, I will have some sort of system to determine reviewers/testers.
I think what you are doing here is awesome. I do however think that you shouldn’t have a manufactures thread considering you only have a drawing. When you have a proto in your hand then you can consider yourself somewhat of a manufacturer. I do want to see you succeed. I even want to try one. they look right up my alley. Like others have said I’d like to test one for you and of course I’d return it if needed. I seem to have a good grasp on what a good or desirable yoyo is.
I have seen many people say they are getting yoyos made, and unfortunately they don’t succeed. But I think you can Arthur! You are the only person I have said this to! Good Luck man! You can do it!
hahahahaahaha.
