So stoked to play the Asora. I need to stock up on caps!

Itā€™s unblasted, but not polished (so itā€™s not super reflective or super sticky). Itā€™ll still be sticky to the touch though if your hands arenā€™t totally dry. If you care about grinds and donā€™t use gloves or have very dry hands, Iā€™d recommend getting a blasted colorway instead.

If you prefer how glossy yoyos play though or just like how glossy looks, thatā€™d be the reason to get the glossy gunmetal. I think the glossiness reflectiveness adds a nice pop of visibility to what would otherwise be a dark kinda stealthy colorway.

Of course! If you want a pic of the shirt I can take a better one without so much wrinkles.

I think most Asora orders should have landed by now so I just want to say thank you to everyone.

I really hope you all like it. I spent years working on everything for Asora/Dreamcraft and think that this production model really encapsulates the vision I had for it. 01 and 02 were close, but not quite - 03 feels like itā€™s right on the money - both in terms of how it plays, and the art/card/packaging done for it.

I know there can definitely be improvements in the future, but for now Iā€™m really happy with the way it turned out.

Iā€™m still ā€œnewā€ to all of this running a business and Iā€™m kind of figuring it out as I go along. Some issues might arise, but I will always do my best to solve them or figure out a solution. If you do have any issues, or even suggestions anyone can message me.

One major issue I found within this drop was my own oversight, in that, I did not order enough Pink. I did not think about that being a potential problem when ordering this drop and apologize to anyone who wanted a Pink and couldnā€™t get one.

Please be assured that a re-stock of Pink will happen in the future but thereā€™s no ETA on that quite yet.

Thank you!

Thanks for putting together such a great release, excited to be able to have all three, I still remember seeing some of your first concepts and was excited for the inception back then.

Sorry! I really feel bad about that, wasnā€™t expecting the Pink to sell out so quick.

The pink is so iconically Asora at this point. Itā€™s hard to go back! The sky blue is pretty kawaii too though.

Youā€™re definitely right about that.

That is something I shouldā€™ve realized but didnā€™t take into account. I intentionally set out for Asora to be ā€œPinkā€ but at the same time, I wanted other colors to be available to people. I needed someone to knock some sense into me when laying out the numbers because I thought equal amounts of each were good at the time :sob:

The next drop will definitely have enough Pink for everyone. Iā€™ll likely keep secondary colors to singular drops or runs, so the blue/green/black/clear will likely not make a return in the future so I can explore other colors along with the Pink.

Iā€™m also hoping that I can get some raw plated in nickel or copper, hopefully both.

I was literally just going to ask if you could get any plated :hushed:

Copper plated Asora would be awesome!

Some type of finish that wears like the ZEROā€™s would be very cool.

As long as he doesnā€™t put any coating on the nickel/copper they will patina.

Yeah zero was touting it like something magic but my copper Theodore started showing patina after 2-3 days of regular play.

I definitely want to plate Asora in the future. I tried going through a local plater early on, before Asora even existed, but the results were a disaster in terms of the amount of vibe so I put that on the back burner until I can source plating without added vibe, or at least as minimal as possible.

Hereā€™s a copper plated Parlay I got back from them.

And my Gold plated FUWA proto.
