Mk1 Yoyos!

Nice logo! All three colorways look great, but I chose green because there just aren’t enough vibrant green yoyos out there. Purples/blues/pinks are everywhere, and it seems like most greens tend to be more earthy or darker. Your green fade is awesome!

Thanks for all the feedback. I haven’t settled on where exactly the engraving will be but I like the idea of having one so that folks can identify the yoyo many years later.

If you were to buy one of these today (ignoring color) which would you lean towards?

  • Left (Mk1 yoyos)
  • Middle (Mk1 yoyos DIFFRACTION2)
  • Right (DIFFRACTION2)
  • No Engraving

Close between left and middle. Both of those choices would be good for me, I just think without the little text it looks a bit cleaner.

Still waiting on anodization.

There will be a handful of raws so here’s a cool render.

I’ve also been busy working on how the box itself is put together. I’m going to be using plastic cylinders like before, since I really like how well they protect a yoyo during shipping. There will be some fancy stickers, and a string! Plus, and I hope I can finish in time, something handmade that I’ve been crocheting away at. It’s been a lot of work getting this all together, but I want everyone who gets a Diffraction2 to feel :sparkles: super special :sparkles:.

Wow, I feel really corporate now. Anyhow, check out that render.

There’s not a single colour there that I would be unhappy buying. Except raw, not a fan of that at all.

I won’t be at worlds, but I’ll probably be at the next couple local-to-me Florida contests.

I know, right? The specific shades for the green actually took a long time to pick out.

:two_hearts: thanks, this means a lot!

Big thanks to all of you who’ve been supporting this project. It’s honestly really heartwarming how good the response has been. :heart:

I got a note from FPM this morning that they’re being anodized, so look forward to some actual, real photos soon!

Some halves fresh out of anodization/dyeing. I think they nailed the colors perfectly.
