After what seemed like an eternal wait, my preproduction DNA has finally made its way back to me! It received a sodablast job from the fine folks at OneDrop, and an intense custom ano job from Justin LoTempio, more known as Vendetta here in the yo-yo world. And I have to say, Vendetta is a great guy who puts out some incredible work. If you ever have the chance, I believe most every serious yo-yo enthusiast owes themself one of his custom ano jobs. Anyway, on to the pics! The top 4 are from Vendetta’s anodizing website, and the bottom 3 show my custom made Chaos Emerald hubstacks and a mid-spin pic. Let me know what you guys think! ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/2/d/82d44a7b231cdd90d73e1ff567f9aa60296cdb72.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/4/b/64ba79f4a06b81fec172ba3e23c27ddc831cf6bc.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/d/9/2d9adf53ea8d6c548f8ffe66b516d8d04e461392.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/b/8/ab81d2a94861747232cb37cdd958fa4cc6cb0e95.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/6/c/a6c5b3d745dfd45a5701b4f52d86645cdbc3a5f1.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/1/4/e1475e0763fdf169150d5bb6e44a42d83fdcfe8f.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/3/5/235ea25a8269e8ef41f893ebdf77c30098bd7f26.jpeg) ---

I wasn’t the biggest fan of this one to be honest. I never really cared about sonic and knuckles, but those hubstacks do a great job of tying the whole yo-yo together. I like it now. ---

THAT IS THE COOLEST YOYO I HAVE EVER SEEN. So can you send Vendetta any yoyo to get it custom anodized? I know he did a special run of dingos a while ago. I know he has a site, but I forgot it. Can you post it? ---

Yeah Vendetta will anodize just about any yo-yo as long as it’s an optimal grade aluminum alloy. We actually had concerns with mine because it’s 7075 alloy which typically doesn’t anodize as well as 6061 alloy, which is what most people use. We really lucked out on this one, and he’s got really great prices. It is best to send him a raw yo-yo though he will chemically strip existing ano dye for a price. > [@climber](#): > > where did you find the pictures of sonic and knuckles Google. The Knuckles head logo came from the Sonic & Knuckles box and Sonic came from the Sonic Team logo. Thanks to everyone who likes it and has commented! It’s my first major yo-yo project. ---
