I have a boa, and it’s awesome. Really like the throws your putting out, need to get my hands on the death adder v2 soon. I would really like to see a bi-metal organic, full size :thinking: ---

The death adder v2 looks pretty different from v1. I love the v1, but I haven’t tried the v2 yet. What was your motivation for the changes? ---

V1 was ok but the cup wasnt what I hoped for. I wanted it to be a fingerspining machine and v1 failed at that. I also wanted it to be just a tad more narrow to help with tech tricks. V2 is what I was hoping v1 would be lol ---

I’m not big on finger spins or dense tech, I guess that explains why I felt puzzled by the changes. I’ll pick one up eventually just because I love to compare this kind of variation on a theme. I have no doubt it’s still a performance monster. ---

As someone who isn’t a fan of most splashes or acid washes that Planet Namek is spicy. Also even better for where you got the name from. ---

I love my alien galaxy Boa. I didn’t know there was drama with the colorway. It doesn’t bother me. The Boa is fantastic. Your designs always look futuristic and classic at the same time to me. I’m always excited to see new stuff from Retic. ---

My favorite ano style is the polished stripes on solids on the Wide Angles. It avoids having too much going on without being boring/too plain. I don’t dislike all splashes and acid washes, I’m just not too keen on a lot of color combos. Galaxy colorways are dope, your planet namek is probably the only one I’ve ever seen that’s on par with galaxy stuff for me. Planet Sadala is really nice too. Pinks, purples, silver and blues really appeal to me, hence my love of galaxy stuff. Anything that doesn’t include two of those is probably a miss for me. I’m aware this is highly subjective though. ---

I have two Boas because the raw one just dazzled me when I saw a photo of it. And then I just _had_ to get the 5150 version because I’m a big VH fan and the 5150 design isn’t something you see very often. ---

Eddie is my hero so there will be more vh references from us. Like the new color on the death adder is called atomic punk! ---

Yeah, but we paid for them to make those and sold it exclusively through YoYoExpert… > [@ReticNeil](#): > > Thanks! Its kinda sad that there wont be anymore in that color from us, but hey that just means new colors like planet namek and planet sadala. You don’t have to stop using any colors, no one owns a color lol. It’s just the name. You can make a blue w/ gold splash yo-yo, but you can’t call it _Clareview Station_ unless you’re CLYW. You can make red/black/silver, but can’t call it _YoYoExpert Edition_ without our permission. Know what I mean? Anyway, It’s not a big deal, you’re making some cool yo-yos and that’s all that matters. Not trying to derail the thread. 😁 ---
