It’s the same as presenting a Sleipnir Izuru Hasumi edition claiming it’s Shinya Kido’s yoyo, technically not wrong yet weird

Well they need a naming convention to distinguish models. I expect either they will label all wider gap ones Attuned Draupnirs or all Draupnirs hence forth will have wider gaps. It would be very confusing for them to release multiple versions that look identical but have different gap widths. Not saying they wouldn’t…I’m just skeptical.

Wide-gap, 2014 model, Attuned, who cares, seems pretty near the bottom as far as things to care about goes.

Noooooooo! I can’t believe I missed the bob drop!

Always regretted missing out on the black Draupnir originally, and the only qualm I ever had with the Draupnir was the grabby response. Bob literally sounds like the perfect yoyo.

I hope they make a few more black’uns soon.

Bob has shown up on a certain international site who has 9 at the moment. I bet they purchased 10 from YYR since that’s how many they usually order.

Also the site confirms that we can differentiate between regular gap and wider gap Draupnirs, because the new one has the gross cursive yoyocreation logo on it. There’s still no photo of the other side and whether it says “Draupnir” or “Attuned Draupnir,” but at least that solves the issue of identifying which is which on the BSTs. If it says “Draupnir” then I bet the regular gap Draupnirs are not produced anymore.

It’s the biggest Japanese yo-yo store and one of two that uses English. Also it rhymes with shin fear. Enough hints? If not feel free to PM me.

It should be obvious since the other JP store refuses to carry YYR. 😛

Also, I think the new logo looks better on the yoyo. It’s more “edgy”.

They don’t refuse to carry YYR, YYR refuses to sell to them.

I preferred the older logo but I don’t hate it as much now as I did.

Oh, and another Japanese site ordered some of these (they’re out) and the google translation of this color/version says “Achoo command drow Puniru Black.” So it’s the Achoo Command Drow Puniru Black Draupnir. 🙂

I actually don’t think it looks bad. Might even prefer it to the original.

^^^ I like the new logo. It looks more sharp. It’s a good look for them.

Hmm. I expected worse. Looks good! And if you zoom in on the photo, it shows what appears the other side sporting a simple ‘Draupnir’, WITHOUT ‘Attuned’ above it.

This pleases me.
