Yo I bought a playforge gnome 2 weeks ago, and their supply was running low; I think they had less than a dozen total left. They’ll ship, you don’t have to be local! If y’all want a blue or orange one, you might be running out of time to get in on it.
I was immediately impressed by how versatile of a throw this is. You can do grinds and finger spins. It has a relatively small footprint due to the undersized diameter, yet a surprisingly long spin time due to the aluminum choice and thick rims. It somehow manages to maintain a relatively floaty feel while still feeling relatively technical when the combo requires it.
Just a friendly fact: my all time favorite yoyos to EDC are iyoyo hydra NGX (new model), top yo T.R.Y., Civility 5th edition, and iyoyo shooting star! I own doubles of all four!
DedGnome with ShroomHed and matching HedStandz from @DedHed - Michael also did the art for ghost engraving on the throw. Sold out before I could even drop it.
So proud of this project! This has been in the making for quite some time and its so great to see it finally out there. Hope everyone that snagged one enjoys them
The next Gnome will be the final run of The Gnome. While we may investigate some spinoffs like a hybrid design or a Ti version that I keep getting pestered about, we have no future plans for this monometal AL7 version. I’m a firm believer in the old adage of leaving the stage to applause rather than overstaying one’s welcome and I always wanted to keep collectibility high.
We came in with a surprise Higby drop and I’m hoping my final surprise is just as exciting. More info in the next couple of weeks…
