Well against my better judgement I put a cerakote wizard on credit. I will regret nothing.
To add to the larger discussion, I love the extra density the coating seems to provide. My only reference is the Deep State, but the cerakote version is exactly what I wanted in the original, where the original anodization is great but the overall weight was just too light for me.
I think the Cerakote treatment on the Wyvern looks the absolute coolest of all that they’ve done so far, but I like the texture of the white Kamu the most, however prone to scratching it may be.
I think this has more to do with the rare finishes (and their value) than the Wyvern.
Which color is best? Which texture? Which model benefits the most?
Cerakote: The emperor’s new clothes?
Ehm, has the Wizard dropped already 
There hasn’t been a newsletter.
Edit: Just found out it actually dropped today and I missed it. Ah man, that’s lame. If you don’t use social media you are pretty much screwed these days, huh!? Doesn’t help either that sometimes there is a newsletter and other times there isn’t. Pretty much relying on those newsletters (since I signed up for them a long time ago).
The finish looks even MORE impressive in person, but the feel of said finish is like sandpaper compared to the white Kamuraiju’s… not sure why there’s such a big difference between the two. Also the Wyvern is just a super mid yoyo IMO. Bad feeling finish (even though it looks cool) + mid yoyo = BST time.
They are releasing more later, about the same amount 
Great news 
Thank you very much for letting me know. Saved my evening there. I consider myself degrumpyfied 
If the next drop is a different color but same finish, like orange or pink, someone HMU for a half swap. That would be hot.
I didn’t see anything about it either. Probably and instagram thing 
I’ve got a pink/green UV Topdeck coming in the mail! Looking forward to it!
40 more UV green Wizards dropping Wednesday, July 19th, at 11AM.
Yeah, snagged me a UV Wizard…YATZI!!! 
Thanks again for keeping my hopes up by sharing the info about the second drop 
No problem, excellent to hear. Be interested in what you think
that uv green looks incredible
Does the cerakote make the yo-yo slightly heavier than regular anodizing? The only unique finish experience I have is with YoyoFriends’ moon rock finish. I have a shortcut with and without, and there’s a clear difference in weight between them.
Yes. Bout a gram usually
Yeah just slightly. I got a green anodized as well as the IV Cerakote and they play basically the same, save the differences finish always makes like grind performance.
I’m listening…
OD should just change its name to the Fat Tire Factory at this point
