Anyone else want CLYW to make a plastic?

@yoyo2442

you guys dont understand the delrin ways and how hard it is to machine it ( OneDrop machines CLYW yoyos) and how expensive the cost of delrin is to metal, believe it or not, delrin costs more, and its a cool idea for CLYW but i dont know how much the community will like and or buy it (like the albino maxbet and albino leviathan)

Delrin does cost more than aluminum in bar stock. If only by a little bit.

Delrin is way easier to machine due to it’s self lubrication properties and it being softer.

Delrin doesn’t usually get bead blasted and can’t be anodized. These add quite a bit to the price on an aluminum yoyo.

That’s intriguing.

I think instead of plastic they should look into some other material that hasn’t been done to death.

Like meat?

meat would be good donuts would be better

thats it a yoyo made out of donuts

[theDunce]

Delrin aside, the problem with mould injected plastic is the cost of having a mould made. If you follow the toy world at all, you start to understand why old toy moulds linger on the market for so long. It’s crazy expensive.

Personally, I’d rather see a nice wood CLYW.

I still like my idea for donuts

@darkadlermagic3

I would much rather them make a budget metal like a dv888 except better

I agree with this i honestly can’t afford a clyw but i would love to throw one a 70-85 dollar throw would be nice

Yeah, for some reason I’m feelin’ a mid sized for a delrin, too.

Why ? Before you ask the question should CLYW make a plastic throw, maybe you should ask the question can CLYW bring anything new to the under 25.00 plastic yoyo ?
The you should also maybe consider that the only way this can be done economically is in China, and shipped over here.
Plastic is a petrol product, so unless you can buy in mass bulk, petroleum products to make plastics are very pricey these days.
I really cannot see small runs of plastic yoyos being feasible.
The likely option is having someone like Adegle, or Magic YOYO manufacture the yoyo in China and ship it here. This is already done by YYF and many other manufacturers.

I would much rather them make a budget metal like a dv888 except better

Again, you might as well just buy a Magic YOYO, straight from China, same quality same same same, you can write CLWY on it with a magic marker, and it can be your Magic CLYW budget throw.
Seems kinda like people think CLYW should make a plastic throw just for the sake of doing it ?
If they can bring something new to the table then I am 110% for it, that is how progress is made.
But if its just to sell a bunch of CLYW plastic yoyos, why cheapen the name, start a new brand, an offshoot of CLYW, Chris would sell just as many yoyos, all people would need to know is its a sister company to CLYW
Just a thought.

[patrickcondon (ＤＯＧＳ)]

I don’t see how the 25 dollar price tag came to be. Is that a prerequisite for success?

I can’t imagine Caribou Lodge ever making a molded plastic. Ever. I agree that it would cheapen the brand. Delrin would be the way to go.

Also, having an offshoot for cheaper models seems odd. Everyone would know that it’s still Caribou Lodge. EDIT: Who in their right mind would give up their selling point, being Caribou Lodge and all, to assume the guise of an unrelated or otherwise seperate company? Especially with something as risky as making plastics. Furthermore, that’d only sweep the “cheapening the Caribou name” predicament under the rug.

We should all ask Mr. Mikulin to make delrins

[VinegarEel]

A CLYW plastic would probably be the most amazing yo-yo. Next to the Protostar in its greatness.

@DrAwesome
