Holiday yoyos!

What yoyos did you get for the holidays? Were you happy with them? I’ll start. I got the MK1 Umbra proto, made by @MarkD , who also threw in a purple DANG 2. The Umbra completely blew me away. The production Umbras are going up hopefully mid-January if I remember correctly. Happy holidays!

Umbra is just crazy fun. If anyine hasnt tried a wide yoyo yet… I recommend stepping out of your comfort zone for an Umbra.
I deleted my post cause it was just something I bought for myself. I dont want it to seem like im showing off.
I really like the case you got legs

I told my wife what I wanted and let her pick the colors. I got a second Rev 1 for collecting and a 2Sick Endgame. I’m very pleased with the colors she picked—bit of a surprise really, but they look so good in person.

I’ll add pictures when I get a chance to take some.

Most of these were “early” Christmas presents. I was very fortunate this year!

Just won the yoyoexpert Fantasy Football League this year so the above items will be coming my way soon. It’ll be a late Christmas gift to myself. Really looking forward to trying them all out.

TurnTable 2. Was not expecting this at all. The wife nailed it this year.

That’s a really cool throw. It’s not something I’ll likely buy, but I’d love to try one. The finger spin dimple/small cup (whatever it’s called) is so cool looking. I’m really curious how well it works.

Both of the yoyos are not very good at fingerspins as the Umbra is more of a button and the yoyo does not have a finish, and the DANG 2 has a nipple that does not leave much room for fingerspins. I suck at fingerspins anyway, so it doesn’t matter too much. Are you going to VA states?

Finger spin cup is one of the best I’ve used. I don’t think there’s anything in my collection I’m getting longer spin times on, including the wedge and death/puff adder.

In terms of how it plays, it reminds me of a high end silenus. Really great finish too. Awesome for grinds. Really digging it.

That’s saying something; the Death Adder is a finger spin machine.

And I love grinds… Guess the turntable 2 is going in the wishlist :slight_smile:
