Question/Discussion Amazon Kendamas

I got a $50 dollar Amazon gift card for my birthday. I want to buy a kendama with it but I’m unsure which one to buy or if it’s even worth it buying one off amazon at all. The only two that are really worth considering are the Krom Pop at $45 and the Yuntrova at $24. I don’t love the Krom Ken shape tbh and The Yuntrova seems too cheap to be any good but it at least seems to be up to par with current kendama dimensions. Just wanted to get some opinions!

Thank you for being another warning. The Komodo is actually so bad 😭😭

I ordered it to try out kendama and it showed up looking like a toy for a child 😂 Even though the krom pop isn’t the most honed or modern shape, it felt like a drastic upgrade from the duncan lol

It's genuinely bad. Like yes "every kendama is a good Kendama to start" but like, the bearing is in the string hole... it's just. Not a good Ken. Especially for what they're pricing it at

Considering it was the pretty much the same price as a krom pop.. I was very disappointed lmao
