You should have only half a headache on each side of your head.
But if you combine it it will neutralise into a green bliss :slight_smile:

I can’t remember, do you have a blue/yellow fade yet? (I don’t own this throw, just found pics online).

Someone once asked me if I’d be interested in a fade like this because it turns green when spinning…

And at the risk of sounding overly ridiculous…I’ve no interest in one lol.
I like displaying my yos on my wall. A blue/yellow fade doesn’t look green sitting there on display :stuck_out_tongue:. It’d look very out of place and I wouldn’t want it to be with my greens.

haha I know I’m ridiculous.

It’s not rediculous. It makes you happy so thats what matters.

Yup, I totally get that. I greatly prefer boring black throws, the less branding the better. We all have our preferences, so no judgment from me!

The fades that blend to change color when spinning are awesome.

I, on the other hand, give the nudge of priority to what a yoyo looks like when it is spinning over what it looks like when it is not. I don’t display my yoyos–they are either in their cases or out for play–so what they look like when just sitting there is of somewhat less importance to me than what they look like while they are in play.

To my eyes, most splashes look kinda crappy when in motion; rather than blending into a nice solid hue, they produce this blur of incoherent color streaks that don’t look particularly good to me. I surrendered to the allure of splashes on only two occasions: my small MonkeyfingeR collection, and my pair of (extremely limited edition) YoyoRaven VTWOs. I certainly don’t regret either of those collections, but those ten yoyos have satisfied any latent craving I ever had for splashes.

(And for the record, I’m not a fan of fades or half swaps either, though I have seen rare examples of both that look pretty cool to me. One example being the dual blue fade 2sick Endgame that I have.)

Had a chance to check out the Kyle Nations Weekender. I bought one because my brother liked them so much he bought two.

i should qualify that… unless it means half swapping to a solid color throughout

I personally really like half-swaps depending on the yo and the colors. I really like my green/black & orange/green Deep States along with my red/green Rooster. There’s lots of half-swaps I think would look great with the Deep State (orange/black looks awesome, I also think a red/black and purple/black would be neat. Someday I might try to get a red/green one put together as well).

What I don’t like…is splashes and especially acid washes.
But I completely understand that everyone’s tastes are different.
Except for those who don’t like green. Those people are just wrong! (lol I’m only kidding! :stuck_out_tongue:)

the other side of this natural half swap would have worked out for you nicely @twitch77… it was greener than god’s good earth

What a lovely shade of green! :green_heart:

And I really like the combo of green/black.

What’s your favorite colorway? Do you like fades, splashes or acid washes?
