So I have a (kind of beat up) “the Vow” from them.
And they were putting out some real interesting throws, both in the more performance oriented segment and the “that’s an interesting yoyo” segment.
But their website has expired. I’ve not seen @Theycallmecotton post in a while. (I was wrong he still posts on the regular…I just haven’t seen it)
It was a smaller but interesting brand. Anyone have the details?
Maybe @hobbygod has an idea. Have you heard from the team at all?
@ChrisFrancz, same?
Man, I miss Cotton. He was always such a positive force around here. Hope he’s doing well.
After finding out about them I became a huge fan (after they got wiped off the face of the earth).
I got my hands on a dreamer and taijiti.
I’ve spoken to @Theycallmecotton once and he’s definitely been around on the forums, he claimed the team was still around and planned to make some more throws in the future.
Websites been down for a while so not sure what’s up with that.
If there’s any news keep me in the loop
I’d very much like a Dreamer at some point. It looks like such a great yoyo.
No, we have not been in contact since The Vow came out. That was early 2021. I think he released another yoyo after that. A D bearing yoyo.
It seems the tidbits of up to date information are Few and Far Between’.
I don’t know if this is the correct ‘word’ to use?
But When a small start-up like Few and Far Between just kinda fades out, it just makes me feel kinda sad.
Kinda like when you’re a little kid and there is a Carnival down the street. And your parents take you to the Carnival, 3 days in a row. And every day you have fun and your mind kind of blends into the Carnival mood. You just feel like that is what life is about. A lot of fun and looking forward to getting some good sleep and then having more fun.
The 4th day, you walk down to the Carnival yourself.
And it’s gone…. No tents. No games. No Clowns. No cotton candy. No nothing.
Nobody bothered to tell you that the Carnival was only 3 days long.
So you remember the whistle you won. And think back of all the candy you ate. And the new friends you made. And you have those memories, but that’s about it.
Some of the Boutique Makers bring good energy and good products and good intentions and a promising future of performance skill toys.
But sometimes, sadly, even with the best of intentions, Life gets in the way and the train ends up changing directions. It goes down the track, and may never come back.
But then again….. the actual name of the business may have lent a prediction, ‘Few And Far Between’?
So our game plan should simply be to play with what we were lucky enough to get, and keep a Wishful eye on that train track. We may just hear that whistle blow again.
In the meantime, I will just blow that whistle I won at the Carnival.
The end/but then again, maybe not
I haven’t spoken to Moe since 2024? Not sure sorry!
