I don't think anybody really, positively knows if there was a prototype Invader, maybe just a bad batch. Most of the people saying theirs broke was the batch from last year before they were on sale at stores.

invaders are supposed to come in two waist sizes next year. so look out for a 90mm maybe. I doubt too many people have them yet, but soon... very soon.

the butter zone looked much more defined on the prototypes than it does on the production ones, anyone have any idea if there is anything structurally different or do my eyes just suck?

probably, the definition of prototype is something that you try many different types of until you get the best version.

^but some people have had no problems with prototypes.
im honestly starting to get sick of people(not you ohio, just people in general) hating on the invaders, if you havent skiied them yourself, please do us all a favor, shut the fuck up, and dont talk about them.
