Nice! The mantis kinda reminds me of the kraken in the way it’s designed. Like a smaller kraken made of 7075. ---

Here is my mantis, actually really happy with the color, it matches my car. It plays well and grinds great. I actually got it to start learning finger grinds but still working on it so can’t give an honest opinion on how it works for that style play. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/b/1/0b166e5e2f30a109e9c9a70564c6854df4a555dd.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/b/d/5bdcddfaefcd68ce162a0638b2dc138527f46557.jpeg) ---

So the only time OneDrop has done blind release boxes is with the Mantis and Marquis releases, yes?
