AbysmAL

From ILYY:

“We ventured to cosmic ends, gazed even deeper into the everlasting darkness and saw… light.
Delve deep into the black and emerge with eternal bliss through the white horizon.

The AbysmAL is the full aluminum representation of the crushing Abyss inheriting its comfortable and sophisticated shape and fingerspin abilities. We beefed up the rims to retain the powerful spin and stability.

The AbysmAL comes in two vastly different colorways.

First up: The ever so fitting Einstein-Rosen-Bridge edition (ERB for short) for all your time traveling wormhole needs.

There is also a second edition of the AbysmAL: Dinosalat. This color-way has first been used for the inner cup of the DR3I.”

There were 20 ERB (Silver/Black) yo-yos made and 23 Dinosalat yo-yos made in the initial run of the AbysmAL.

Roentgen

From Alchemik:

“The Roentgen is the signature model of Tyler Jorgensen! Tyler runs the Tri-Cities yoyo club in Eastern Washington, and in his own words, “The inspiration for the Roentgen comes from a love of competitive style yo-yos that keep that fun-loving spirit. We wanted to make something that was powerful, agile, and durable. It has a great width for practicing those more difficult tricks, and with enough spin time to keep up!”

The Roentgen uses titanium weight rings on a 7068 body, which adds a really special feel compared to many bimetals. I personally have loved testing it as a team member and can’t wait for everyone else to get to experience it too!”
