I am thinking about going on the hunt for a P40 Warhawk. I was wondering if there are any differences between the prototype run and the production run of these yoyos? ---

The shape of the proto is very different. Way more sharp. No clue how the proto plays. Have only the release Check YouTube videos they often talk about the difference. ---

Gap width is slightly different as well. Can’t remember exactly. As mentioned above, a review video might be helpful. I seem to remember that Dylan Kowalski mentioned changes in is production run review. ---

I just found and watched his videos. I watched yours as well. All were very informative and well done. Sounds like it is a fantastic yoyo. I think finding a P40 is not going to be easy. ---

How much did the P40s cost when they dropped? ---

Thanks for checking mine out. I didn’t get a proto before the production run so I don’t think I did much comparison, if any. It was awhile back, so I don’t really remember. At any rate, the P40 is still in my top 5. It’s legit. Pretty sure retail was right about $70 for those. Folks who did predorders got an even better deal (about $50 or $55 of I recall). I’ve seen a few on BSTs since drop and they have sat about $60ish… I think. Haven’t seen a ton, but they do come up. ---

Warhawk is amazing. It’s tied with the Akita for my absolute favorite throw. I have the proto as well and it’s a totally different beast. It’s Way more aggressive, in shape and play. It’s more powerful, sharper and less comfortable in the hand, and faster. I wouldn’t say it’s enjoyable to play. The production Warhawk is comfortable, controllable, stable, powerful, basically everything you could want in a yoyo, imo. ---

The protos have rings that are a gram heavier
