When a company anodizes a yoyo is the pattern a one off or could there be multiple yoyos with the same pattern? I ask because while searching on the web I came across these that match a couple of mine.

Splashes are unique and differ from yoyo to yoyo. Looks like you were able to find pics of your exact yoyos online before you got them, which is pretty cool. It’s happened to me a few times as well, I love it when it happens and I’m always like: ![rick](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/5/7/a57847d99a1457693f1eb8cef1db6f562db0dc67.jpeg) ---

You got the Super Model used for the photo shoot. As stated above, with these types of anodizing, it is impossible to get identical outcomes. Have fun ---

If it matches the product photo, it means you got the exact one from the product photo. I have a few like that. Pretty random occurrence but fun when it happens - just means if/when you sell it you can provide a professional photo of it as well :+1: ---
