    I feel like the leadpaints and the yellows had a thicker 'softer' paint to them, making them seem stickier. Ive never owned one though.. Just the a few of the new yellow ozoras.

    Yellow ozos were a different formula than the OGs, I ordered one when they first came out and was very disappointed :( some people loved them though

    Which one? :) Usually people say that the best ones are the Keyaki, Yellows, and the OG Ozoras.

    Personally, I like the White OG ozora!

    Best incarnation of a Sweets Prime (next gen homegrowns don't count, for me):

    The v10s. That line of Primes was legendary for me, especially the Purpleheart Splatter Raptor and the Baja Bamboo.

    Any :D Although my Keyaki is the most honed natty I own. Also the OG white I have is honed. Definitely want to try the REShape when I'm next in Japan.
    I just always gravitate back to Ozora.

    Not exactly the shape, but the paint itself (and the name I guess too).
    One of my favorite damas from Sol is the Blueberry Frost/Static Shock Vibe.
    When it was first released, and the description still showed that the blue stripe was thicker than the yellow stripe but since the first drop of them (maybe the second, am not entirely sure) and the other maple vibes (pre Sol Shape) the blue and yellow stripes have been the same width and that seemed to happen when they changed the name from Blueberry Frost to Static Shock (love the newer name).
    Personally I prefer the original design with the thinner yellow stripe. Really no other difference besides that (same maple wood, same rubber paint).
