Looks gorgeous!
I know this is an ILYY announcement thread, but after some more time with prometheus how are you liking it?

It’s a strange throw but I love the shape and power. This shape and finish is just so comfortable. My biggest hang up with this is the axle length. Wish it had a longer axle because this short one makes me a little nervous.

Any blasted ones? Also any hopes for a anoed phase?

Those will be unblasted to keep the aesthetics alive.
If Phase will get another batch, it will be anodized for sure.

@crackout are the bias limited to 1 per person? Thinking about buying 2 for 3a.

Not at all, you can get two if you want.
given the delicacy of the finish and the extreme ease of scratching directly, the anodization (even without coloring) is a necessary phase… or rather it was also for that first release… take this yoyo for example:
very similar finish both to the eye and to the touch, but extremely hard and resistant to blows

Kinda reminds of the tiramisu a bit, absolutely love the cuts in the cup on this thing.

I’m not the right person to discuss RSO similarities with. Don’t temp me. 
I think he means the tiramisu looks like the hspin cut.

dangit, i just said no more yoyos for three months at least 
for some reason i always thought brass is not as durable material as SS in yoyos. can you tell me if there is disadvantages or advantages of having brass vs SS for rings/rims ?

Surely, brass is a softer metal than any steel alloys.
In an inner-ring bi-metal construction this is not that big of a deal though, in terms of scratches.
The ring is also recessed, so it does not scratch up that easily when placing the yoyo on its side.
Brass is a bit more dense than steel, so technically you can reach the same weight distribution with less volume, which is what benefits the design of the Golden Abyss as its rings are delicate yet with great mass.

Oh my, that black with the brass rings is gorgeous.
