It’s painted with nitro-oil paint. It’s not very good for walking the dog, as it can chip easily, and it’s also pretty bad for grinds. I hope some people like it anyhow! ---

It’s also very good at picking up environmental light.

# Mk1 News Update ## Cen Cal Classic Yo-Yo Championship Me & @caralisc will be at [Home - CenCal Classic Yo-Yo Championship](https://yoyocontest.com/cencalclassic/) this weekend. I’ll be vending as is my style, and hopefully (fingers crossed) I’ll have a brand new yoyo available. See below for a sneak peek. ## Penumbra Factory photo: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/a/a/baab1c383e3f32a2ccc52e1d47b5c654b2bd92ae.jpeg) This is the 55mm wide bimetal that I planned several years ago, and then sat on it while competition yoyos reached and then eclipsed it in width. I am very wise. The prototypes played lovely and there’s 5 colorways to choose from. I’ll be sharing them after I get the yoyo in the mail. ## A follow up to the Dynames ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/3/7/437bb3031d56a8c6bcf9a48e278458a6501ec453.jpeg) This new yoyo is done with anodizing and is being assembled. It’s much more aggressively styled than the Penumbra, and thinner (49.2mm) ## The One Ring It’s in the process. Sorry about the delay on a restock. ## Plasm v2 See above. I know you want more of these but I need to get the prototypes for the updated version first. ## What do you want to see? Let me know if you have any other questions or if there’s a different yoyo you want to hear about! ---
