Lol ive never seen a pic of this color on the summit before so im not sure. It could be either. The blues and yellows are a little lighter than a clareview tho
Mail days are the best days:
This one deserved its own picture:
Big thanks to @da5id and the whole One Drop crew for this. Pure joy.

Quite frankly I do not want to hear about anyone else’s slow delivery or shipping problems. This has just arrived direct from the manufacturer, new in a box, and was made in 2009 !!! That is outrageous !

What on earth???.. Why 16 years???
You shouldn’t rush greatness. 
Or as it says on hspin’s own site… These are all remaining yoyos left from the original batch from 2009 from Chriz K’s personal collection. These are legacy yoyos with a flaw to love, sporting a truly minor vibration.
Hspin disappeared in 2012 and only reappeared last year. Oxygene remain lost in time but well thought of.

How did you come up with that design? Were you inspired by the prototype that A-RT put on sale a few months ago?

I don’t follow A-RT so don’t know what they would have put out.
My creative process for this design. I was eating a tootsie pop and thought wouldn’t it be cool if I made a tootsie pop yoyo. I started a design and gave up on it after a while because I couldn’t get it to work quite how I wanted. It wasn’t exactly ball shaped because it had the tootsie pop ridge.
Then Mel Brooks posted the announcement for Spaceballs and I knew I needed to make a Spaceballs yoyo for my own hype. I asked myself what would be most appropriate and the answer was obviously balls. So I went back to my tootsie pop design and studied what failed on it and redid the design from the ground up avoiding those pitfalls.
My general creative process is either I see a random object in the real world and think “yoyo?” Or I open up 3d modeling software and just start pulling and deforming shapes like digital clay until something forms that looks like it would be fun.

Strings and my new 3A set of ReCognition Redux! Used my giveaway 25 bucks toward this. Can’t wait to get time in on these, I think the little bit tighter gap these have will help. They won’t look clean for so long!
