New Duncan Yoyo

remember this prototype from a Oct2008 post?
releasing soon.

Tattooed FHZ

This zero started off as a white Freehand Zero, and was literally tattooed using a real tattoo machine by Nashville Tattoo Artist/YoYoer Aaron Hassler. He said it took about 3 hours to complete, and the only paint used was for some white highlights.

This baby belongs to Mark Allen.

Buzzon or Oldschool yoyos anyone?

Buzzon collectors, old school yoyos collectors?
heres a chance to get all these yoyos, together with the case.
Lots of Buzzons, and some other pretty good old school yoyos, the Renegade, the Tigershark, CherryBomb, and others.


i don't know if the seller ships to Singapore though...
and i don't know if the BuyItNow price is reasonable to you guys...
but i personally think its cool.

One Drop P2

Project 2 that is.

1Drop is still workign on it, playing around with it, like adding a deeper response recess, making it wider, a bit heavier, a bit curvier and IRG. However, none of this is set in stone. They are also working some back end changes into in terms of machining process.


Once the Project 2 is released, 1Drop will make them available at as many resellers as possible.

pictures? no picture.
MAYBE not in the next few months.

New Leviathan Colors





i assume the last one is a special edition of some sort, cuz the rims seems to be different.
or rather the top 3 are new edition, cause the last one is actually how the leviathan look like.

Takuto training

Takuto Luo Yi Cheng Training process.

Initial L3 design

not much changes, initial plan was to add weight rings to the groove. but plan change due to cost.
this has silicone applied to the rim to add weight.
and top tips. but it seems that production run doesn't comes with it.
clear stacks only for prototype.
if you hear this is no longer in production, maybe its true, but its definitely still in stock, and alot. atleast thats what i can see. ranging from around S$25 (u uys just have to browse online to find it :) ) onwards, excluding shipping.
so yea, you read it, if someone's gonna offer to trade u his L3 for your G5 for instance... you may want to consider.

B.I.S.T Bistone


no sure if any of u seen this, its not new.
but worth sharing. its a one piece aluminum yoyo.
its an aluminum yoyo that requires no bearing, no axle.
the image also shows u a cut-away view.
response? half a dif-pad. yes. half. u cut it.
this is seriously one of the COOLEST looking yoyo out there.
atleast thats what me and Hans think.

Yo-Splinters Club

Yo-Splinters Club would like to announce that they now have their own Forum.
HERE.

Yo-Splinters Club is from Brunei!

YYF SpinTop info

YoyoFactory Ben:
Currently what we are doing with Spin Tops is more of a showcase than a commercial project. The plan was to create an 'undeniable' spintop using the best materials and knowledge available.

We plan to bring it upto a 'marketable' condition, but have no plans for any broader distribution. The run size is not commercially viable, we have no current plans on mass producing tops but we do want to test the waters and explore a few concepts in Spin Top.

This first Top is called the 'Throwback™', it is aluminum, delrin, brass, dual, single bearing or fixed interchangable tips.

If we do ever get to the stage of making it commercially available you can bet it will come to YoYoNation but until then, its just a 'Special Project' Smiley





We also plan on making more clip videos Smiley This first video was filmed and produced by Miguel at a YYF Team meeting weekend in Dallas last weekend. The next Team meeting is in Japan later this month cool

new YYF OffString


specs should be the same i guess, i don't know what improvement there is, but the new ones are using spacer bearing system unlike the older versions.
it'll be using the spacer that the Loop720 is using.
i don't know about u guys, i think even if the only changes is the bearing system, it'll still play very differently. i'm actually looking forward to this new YYF OS.

Splash Ano 888

hint hint?
i'm not sure myself either...
looks like 09 888 to me. cuz if its 09 888, there's a possibilty of it being a new release, if 07 or 08, probably not.
