Sad to see them go but such is life. Big fan of their stuff, particularly show pony, busker, and the latest Loonie. What are your favorite Rain City throws? ---

That’s sad news. I only ever managed to try two of their products. Ironically one of them arrived only hours ago, the Turduccen. It is fantastic fun. The other was the Duccling. It was a blast too. Their packaging is as fun as it gets. I wish those fine folks all the best. ---

Sounds like a well considered decision for them, but still sad to hear. Show Pony is my favorite from RCS (and there is one left on YYE). ---

I still absolutely love the Showgirl (predecessor to the Show Pony). It’s got some heft to it that I really like, and that organic goodness. The Seti as well is just a wild, but awesome performing throw. Super unique, but way more than just novelty. I’m glad they got to have another follow-up run of those. ---

My favorite is probably my red Warbird prototype. ---

Sad to hear this. Also the Hipster is machined by On Drop. ---

Dumpster fire, hands down. Plenty of companies make outstanding performance yo-yos, but they really did things different. The YoYo represents the true spirit of YoYo: a fun, silly thing that makes you smile. ---

I have a few of their throws - Loonie, Toonie, Busker, Popart, and Gamer. Sad to see a company fold esp in the sea of seeing a lot of businesses in general go under… ---

convoy…. sad news… running a boutique yoyo company of any scale can be a grind, but it can also be rewarding. their selection and presentation was always unique, definitely a great group. ---

Sad to see them go, these are the best yo’s in the last 10 years IMO. Throwback to when yo’s had personality to them like the playmaxx days. Thank you for the fun! ---

Just nabbed a Flat Earth and another Busker. Couldn’t pass up on the deal and the flat earth looked like an interesting 0a throw. ---
