A few polls below, but what’s the hype over the Kuntosh? It does look like a good, comfortable yoyo. But why do they seldom sell used for less than $100 (og or 5kQV), if you can even find one? And if that’s the case, why isn’t OD pumping out more?
Ive played both. They werent for me. Nothing in the play really stood out.
I think they have some history as a remake of an old yoyo so that gives them collectibility but thats not all some people really liked the 5000qv.
Thanks for digging that up. That’s disappointing. I know Sonny designed it - did OD have to collaborate for part of the production (e.g. blasting, anno, etc)?
Looks like the last restock for the OG was six years ago, and five years ago for 5kQV. Maybe they aren’t fully aware of how much interest there still is. Yet.
It worked with the Parlay recently. Here’s to hoping
Edit: I was about to send my email to OD, then I looked at my previous email about the Parlay from summer of last year. I got a similar response to the one above - “Kuntosh are tricky because they are a collaboration but we will make them again if that becomes possible.”
i think kamuraiju is better than kuntosh
for me kuntosh is mid, hollow feel for me
i have own 4+ OG kuntosh and end up getting rid of them every time. never own QV though
I’m personally looking for my last 1A yoyo, so I’m being picky.
The Kamuraiju definitely looks super similar in shape. I checked it out before, and it being midsized and having the groves in the catch zone turned me off a little in this case. That said, the Reboot has both of those, and I love it. The biggest thing holding me back is that I’m looking for a Saturday Market, which I’m almost sure OD stopped doing before the Kamu released. If I wasn’t specifically l after a really cool looking throw, I’d give it a try.
