No offense meant, but I feel that this Phaser is a bit too glossy to be genuine. Looking at some old post from YYE ([YoYoExpert Blog & Yo-Yo News – sOMEThING by YoYoAddict Presents The PHASER!](https://yoyoexpert.com/blog/something-by-yoyoaddict-presents-the-phaser/)), the one in YYE’s post seems to have a bit of the bead blasted touch. There’s also a video on YT for a phaser in black ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao1tco9fBPA&t=12s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao1tco9fBPA&t=12s)). Not 100% sure though. If someone sold you this and the green Draup for over $60 I would highly recommend contacting the seller to get their invoice. ---

It’s fake and here’s a comparison between a fake one (left) and a real one (right): 1. the fake one uses a thinner font 2. the fake one leaves more space between the letters, (see the letters “SE” after the triangle) ![1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/0/b/70bdc64bfa2cd986452e6577d9f862e65fad580d.jpeg) ![2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/8/0/280a1c830915442c602b99ccc0dc39b911d8b60a.jpeg) ---

After working with you guys exposing the fake phaser yesterday with informing Mickey thereafter about it, we’re all awared of how different it was to the real one. But @jjdddn1 also point out another fake draupnir i put up here for sale months ago part 1: Details of the fake yoyos [Fake phaser and fakenir exposed. Me being the victim - #5 by jjdddn1](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/fake-phaser-exposed/342986/5) (mind the comment section too) part 2: My clarification Remember the rlly hot green draupnir sale few months ago? I bought it from my brother for $180. it was supposed to be a mint black he bought from yye, but later he was swapped for another mint green one by his bad friend without telling him. so i just took it anyway to sell it, the only pic i got from his friend for posting here was a pic he stole from taobao, not by himself. So i sold it without knowing all the yoyo, pics were a fraud p/s: thanks @jjdddn1 for linking the proof helping us unveil this. im in just a big shock and depress knowing all this. i have contacted my buyer to work the deal out The fakes are now spotted and prevented from dissipating to any others. Beware of your next 2ndhand purchase. my apologies! peace ---
