I’m not sure if you guys remember my collage with the few mock Protostar colors. [https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7401/12118226666\_69cebbdae6.jpg](https://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/12118226666/) [Untitled](https://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/12118226666/) by [The TotalArtist](https://www.flickr.com/people/totalartist/), on Flickr I sent it to YoyoFactory, and recently one of them came to life. ;D The color is dead on. YoyoFactory sent me a few of these in the mail. Grind finish on that plastic now, and a collectible hard case packaging. I’ll update this with a spinning shot. Maybe I’ll give one away in the Splash Game soon (here or Instagram).

I really hope they release a run of these for like Breast Cancer Awareness Month or something because that looks stunning. If they do i might suggest the make it a tad different to keep the exclusivity of the original high ---

I have a few more photos for you. This is the Protostar spinning, no filter or effects, just how we like it. And, a photo of the packaging too. The Protostar graphic looks like an eyeball while spinning. 😃 [https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5590/14188204684\_c6833fecb6\_c.jpg](https://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/14188204684/) [protostarspin10](https://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/14188204684/) by [The TotalArtist](https://www.flickr.com/people/totalartist/), on Flickr [https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7377/14188570445\_062d9ddcc6.jpg](https://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/14188570445/) [ProtostarStand](https://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/14188570445/) by [The TotalArtist](https://www.flickr.com/people/totalartist/), on Flickr ---

But Da Fact’ry is my favorite! They just have that sweet spot that is just right for me. I prefer heavier throws, and long spin times, certain shapes and designs. They always seems to get it right for me. I even have a little nickname for it now (hip-hop style). 8) Oh, and they happen to be the leading maker of my favorite colorway. :wink: ---

^ Sweet. You knew it was coming… Off the top, in a zone: I made a collage photograph with an App, I sent it to Da Fact’ry, and Ben wrote back , In the email, I asked him“well…what do you think?” The photo had Protostars, including purple and pink. He thought they were cool, two colors were new, Protostar had already been in red and blue , Although the mock photo was something he liked, I never thought I’d see the new color in real life, When I thought of pink, there were none for sale, Da Fact’ry was nice to send me some in the mail, I opened up the box, three throws and two stickers, I set up a spot, so I could take some new pictures, I saw it on camera, I was Protostar smitten, Just enamored, the first time I saw it spinning, Still shots, spinning, and with the box as a stand, , And, I got so many likes when they posted on Instagram, The Protostar is a classic, for competition status, One of the best plastics, in a hard case package, Protostar with a new look, and it aint over, This one’s in the books, as one sick makeover. What a nice gift, I was elated…so happy, More than I could wish, as created by Da Fact’ry. 1. ---

I agree, certain colors have to be the right shade. For me, pink is one of them. This one is the perfect shade of pink, and the translucent adds even more appeal. 🙂 [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/new-color-yoyofactory-protostar/66235.md?page=2)
