Show off your CLYW yoyos.

Photoshoot today, sorry If I bump all the Show off threads, haha.

This is my shared CLYW collection with my brother.
The Musket Chief, Avalanche, and Wooly Marmot are mine.

Nice Gnarwhal. One of my favorite throws from CLYW.

I have a few more collages made of my CLYWs. Thought I would share.

First up are the Gnarwhals


Hulk Smash and the Team Edition are my favorite. The TE has a polished shiny look that you don’t often see on CLYW’s.

The Chief’s

And some Avalanches


The top two are OG along with the middle on the bottom row. The custom was done by SpottedBanana. I just love the fade splash look.

Thanks for sharing!!! Those are some great photos for sure. They are so crisp!!! Nice Hulk’s as well!!!

Stickman, I actually remembered to take a pic of the set up. Here is what the box looks like. If you have the lights and materials it is quick and easy and cheap to make one.

Gotta love the Hulk Smash :slight_smile:

I’ve done some basic product photography for work so I wanted to see how that translated to pics of my collection. While not up to the standards for a professional catalog, I love the way they came out. As you can see in the set-up pic, the lightbox is pretty small. That’s why I started on just one at a time. But I like the look of making the collages. Picasa is pretty basic but works well for that.

Cool stuff there for sure!!! I need to invest in a real setup as well. I love pics of yoyos!!! And CLYW yoyo’s love to be photographed!!!

Here is my beloved Arctic Circle.
I rubbed her down with some MonkeyFinger BUFF a few days ago.
Still shining like a gem. :wink:

Thanks for that Peppercat.

I always get a real kick out of looking at what people use to compose & light their pictures.
Yours look especially great. I had a feeling it was something like what you are demonstrating.

You are using it very well. Great Job, and really nice pictures.

Keep em coming.

Here is another little pic I just took… Kinda like this one…


Not the prettiest setup. Before I move anything out of the collection.

Now onto some of my favorites. I love the Wooly Marmot, especially the engraved ones. I’ve been trying to collect them for awhile now.

Here’s a shot of the engraved. I just need the Viking Marmot to complete the Marmots Doing Stuff collection. Wouldn’t mind a hopusan or others, either :slight_smile:

Here is the whole bunch together.

And here are my Peaks. The top left is a Brett Grimes painted Triforce Peak. He did a great job and it has a nice eggshell finish. I also bought the Peak from him and he said underneath was a mint, wolf lake / bearing gull. So a red, white, and blue theme. The others are self explanatory. The Chesterman Beach peak is so vibrant in real life. I love the blue.

That grey and orange peak is perfection.

My only CLYW atm, my Avalanche!

I was fortunate enough to score a Black Bip Bop Chief, so I decided to create a montage of my Chief collection. I still have hopes of scoring a Jason Wong “Loaded” Chief someday, only then will I feel that this collection is all that I want it to be.

I never expected to ever get a Black Bip Bop, so I have to believe I can someday find a “Loaded” version as well. If that sounds like a hint…it is.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

I’m speechless… I. Don’t. Have. Words. Thank. You.

That’s beautiful. Seriously beautiful. Wish I could afford to collect CLYW like that.

This is my small but still very great CLYW collection, first will start with my Puffin, Arctic Circle and Gnarwhal. There all really good throws but I’m not really liking the Gnarwhal too much, for me it’s a little small. Now for the AC it is good, but I think I liked my Chief better so trying to sell it to get another Chief. As for my Puffin it’s amazing! I like everything about it. PS: My Gnarwhal and Arctic Circle are for sale PM me if interested :slight_smile:

Now is my rare CLYW. This is my unengraved Ninja Hurdle Canvas. It was was confirmed by Chris himself a pre-release for the Wolf Edition Ninja Hurdle Canvas. It is 1 of 3 in the world which really surprised me! This is my favourite CLYW right now, it plays so smooth and stable. I had a Caribou Edition Canvas before but had sold it to a friend because I didn’t like it much. But I gave the Canvas another try and I LOVE IT! :slight_smile:
