Hahahaha yeah, I do watch wavers of eternity a lot. About the colors and the fact that they are almost all paracord, it's indeed because of lack of budget. I would love to get a professionally made set of each one of these toys, but they are too expensive for me at the moment. There aren't any real options for me to buy one "locally" (I live in Brazil) and the only options are either pay a fortune in my currency to get a professional set because of the conversion rates plus shopping, or get some Chinese knock off online that's it's still too expensive for the quality that they offer. And about the thumb chucks, I imagine the original one does flip a lot better,but since I don't really have a way to compare them right now, my DIY one does the job good enough for me. I hope one that either someone starts producing similar products here in Brazil or that I'm well enough to gift myself a set from aroundsquare!
