My super, ultra-rare 'boutique" Avatar yo-yo company (AYC) unobtanium-izm. This yo-yo is so mega-rare that you are not even allowed to think about it how utterly amazing it is. It has a ano-job that Jackson Pollack would envy. The value on the resale market has gone vertical since I snagged it on the dawn of the vernal equinox by deciphering the members-only instagram post encrypted by a WW2 German Enigma machine to get the secret url.
I do not care what others are willing to pay. I will be buried with it.

Iâve got money on the Kamuraiju voters changing their minds. The yoyoâs been out for like 2 weeks guys, how much time could you possibly have put in with one?

No, not those guys. Mine was made by some dude who simply called himself âThe Eyeâ. Word has it he forged all his throws from Mithril in the fires of a machine-shop in a place called âMt Doomâ (I think it is in California). He told me that mine was only one of nine (wow!). He made two other models; but those were sold on different websites overseasâŚ

In all seriousness, my nomination for favorite yo-yo of 2022:
Yoyofactory IQ.
Innovative, high-performance, awesome value from Yoyofactory.

I have heard this comparison a couple of times and donât understand how or why anyone would want a slimline organic yoyo to play like a pure-bred competition bimetal.

Simple, for people like me who love performance yoyos but want them to be pocket sized so I can bring them anywhere. The rounded rims are just the icing on the cake which makes them more comfortable on the catch.
Thatâs to say, itâs not for people who like slimline organic yoyos like the Panorama or the Diorama. Itâs for people who want a performance yoyo that is a 3 in 1 package of comfort, pocketability and performance.
Also, I completely forgot about updating that post, and Iâm glad to say that the Dressel Designs Kanto does really live up to the âslimline Draupnirâ expectation and hence is my favourite yoyo of 2022.

I considered getting a Kanto, but the one colorway I was interested in sold out before I could be persuaded. Iâll have to keep an eye out for one on a BST somewhere.

So far the Alliance Proto with the wider curvier rims. Havenât got the 303 Bowl Yet!!

It feels specifically like a Draupnir? Or it has characteristics that it shares more with competition bimetals and less with slimline organic yoyos?
Physics just donât seem to be in the equation when comparing this to a Draupnir.
