This is a watermelon colorway, something he became obsessed with after seeing a “protomelon” from Smashing Yoyos. This is a different take on that idea which keeps the color separation while spinning, which also smooths out the painterly green “rind” on the rim.
RBC is at the anodizer, just awaiting further news since it’s a bit trickier for this yoyo than others, I’ve been told. Everything else for this project is complete - packaging, parts, etc.
Another brand new production yoyo is nearing the end of manufacturing. This one hasn’t been teased yet, so hopefully it’ll be a fun surprise!
Several items are in prototyping, including the 2nd version of the Mk1 Spyglass, and there’s more yet that I’d love to start prototyping - but as you can see, there’s a lot in the pipeline already!
As it’s getting close to the end of the year, I’m also thinking about running more of the Exia and Contact, in new colorways.
The Penrose triangle is an object that can’t exist in 3 dimensions, first created by Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934. If you’ve picked up an Mk1 yoyo recently (thank you!), you may have spotted one on the packaging.
This 3d animation reveals how a “3d” version of this triangle only works from a single vantage point.
We’re using this symbol as a representation for a new Mk1 x ??? yoyo that is arriving soon.
In other news, the RBC is finally done with anodizing. It will probably be ready for next month. Thank you for your patience.
