[MVP] Would you want a Overmolded Lid-like disc?

[Kodachrome]

after seeing that andy jb video i really like lids now!

Wow, now I really love lids too!

 

[tbird888]

I've always loved lids*!


*Not true. I was a chucker long before I was a more informed chucker.

 

[crd 81]

Yeah, I would, especially if Axiom made it.

 

[mm1315]

Not sure this concept would really work all that well

b/c?

7. RE: LIDS--

We enjoy playing with lids too. We think it would be cool to have a lid in our lineup, though it's going to be in the longer term. We feel the market size for a lid is probably quite small compared to most traditional discs. As we transition into in-house mold making we will be able to lower costs in mold making and allow us to branch out into more boutique mold styles.

Boutique molds ... sounds so sexy

I'm sitting here looking at a lid and trying to imagine how one could be made in two pieces. It's not going well. They just don't have any wing to make from the overmold. Maybe the rim could come over the top of the core and make like a thumbtrak birdie looking thing. Or a deeper more rounded rim like a Rattler.

Plasma plastic GYROlid?!

Ohhh YEAH.

PLZZZZZZZZ!

 

[THUGNIFICENT763]

Melt some rubber, pour it over the rim of an ice cream bucket lid, and voila!

Finally got to throw a Polecat recently, and I was definitely feeling it (maybe it's all those years I used the sort-of-a-lid-but-not-really Putt'r). Got online to buy one and was sad to see I missed out on the limited run of Champ kitties last year. I would love to have a lid in MVP plastic. I like their plastic so much, I almost don't think I'd care if it were non-overmolded. A Polecat in Neutron or Electron plastic? Man that would be sweet even sans gyro.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

yeah who cares just give me a core.. I hear you!

 

[Savage Henry]

I got it... put the overmold on the INSIDE of the rim!

DX are better.

 

[slim311nc]

DX are better.

Yeah, that's what I ended up ordering. I'm just a sucker for premium plastic.

 

[ODRB]

My answer is still yes. I would like one. Please.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

My answer is still yes. I would like one. Please.

Same here.

 

[tbird888]

Ditto!

 

[Snap-it]

Don't think they're going to do a true lid, ever. They claimed the Envy was "lid-like", and that's probably as close to a lid as it's going to get.

Gyro is real. Think about how a gyroscope works.

Also, a dumpy fade indicates that the disc is fighting fading out, not that it's fading early
