A passion project: Blumi 🌼

[Snoopy (Evan (he/him))]

Waiting for Wednesday…

I seriously can’t wait for this one. Definitely the most excited I’ve been for a yo-yo drop since the Flying Lemon.

Hey @crackout I’m surprised nobody has asked this yet, but do you know how much these will retail for?

[crackout (Dominik of ILYY)]

Not yet, working on this with André atm.

[crackout (Dominik of ILYY)]

$79.99

[irdaprez (GW)]

Awesome, thanks for the update @crackout !

[SkareCrow (Kevin)]

Copped one

[Bznalcapone (Edwin)]

Got one stupid timer almost screwed me up. It was stuck on zero for like 30 seconds so I kept refreshing the page then there was 11 left got it then was at 9.

been following since April, can’t wait to finally try it

[Ironical_Monocle1 (Jason)]

Well @crackout, I think we can call the Blumi a success! Can’t wait to try it!

[irdaprez (GW)]

Got one! I’m stoked! Is it weird that I’m excited to feel how aggressive the Candyblast is??

[Tempura]

Turning Point’s blast is the closest existing one to Candy Blast in my opinion. Curious how this compares.

[Upload2939 (Roz)]

Same

[The_Abyss (𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑨𝒃𝒚𝒔𝒔 𝑨𝒘𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝑼𝒔 𝑨𝒍𝒍 {𝓢𝓱𝓮/𝓗𝓮𝓻})]

Doesn’t this make a full swap. Ship of Theseus?

[irdaprez (GW)]

Looking at the Blumi preview above magnified, it looks more aggressive than even your e1ns or my OG noctu! Ultimate grinder maybe?

[Tempura]

I actually like their new soda blasted yoyos a lot for grinds, more than those two pictured for sure. Certainly less special looking though.

[brycie3 (Bryce)]

may i please put in a request for if/when you decide to do another run for that two-tone blue you proposed earlier, it was gorgeous!

[crackout (Dominik of ILYY)]

Friends, I’m speechless!
Thank you so much for supporting this little project.

Accessibility of the Blumi is very important to me, which is why I did all I could to keep the price below $80. After all, we are talking about an all aluminum yoyo here. Hype/demand or not, I don’t want to rip people off. Everyone should be able to get a Blumi if they so wish, meaning another batch is very likely. As for colors, I’m a fan of run-specific color schemes, even tough I don’t really like the limitation aspect this brings.

But let’s just wait for some more feedback, shall we?

Prototype and 1st run

I think you could do a wild flower colour palette thing, something like this that includes the existing colours (grabbed it off Google images, ignore that it’s for weddings or something).
