Some of us have been going crazy over the newest version of Duncanās Butterfly. Yes this little entry level fixed-axle offering from Duncan has had us in a fever. If you didnāt know you can find out more about spotting them [here](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/an-unofficial-guide-to-identifying-the-new-duncan-butterflies/365957).
So another great thing about the 2020s renaissance of the Butterfly is that there have been some new limited colours and special editions with certainly more to come. There is even talk about making a Drew Tetz signature edition when Drew has a design ready!
What new colour or design would you like to see?
Here are mine:
1. A marble Butterfly similar to the Huf Butterfly XT only in an **electric blue**.
2. A glow-in-the-dark Butterfly.
Looking forward to hearing other peopleās ideas.
Happy Throwing! š¦

I wonder if the new butterflies will be available for custom designs like the xt and proyo

Revive the Duncan rainbow design from the euro butterfly.

I might be a bit biased, but the euro butterflies are where itās at. I donāt think it has any chance of happening now since the Downtown Disney Duncan kiosk closed, but a Donald Duck butterfly wouldāve been high on my list of designs to revive haha.

My Butterfly collection. My sister just picked up some of the new Pink Target Butterflies for me, havenāt gotten them from her yet though.
What is interesting is how varied the vintage plastic Butterflies are. The original psychedelic has a SUPER wide gap, you need a bind return, or triple wrap. Others have super tight gaps that I have to use Type 2 or Type 4 string on. The Mariposa was given to me by Bryan Figueroa, Iād been watching them on eBay for some time, just never pulled the trigger on one. The solid orange I got from Augie before he left Duncan, another one I had a long search for.
The teal sparkle on the top row, and the blue sparkle on the bottom row were gifts from a good friend. The teal is an Expert Award. Duncan used to advertise yo-yo contests in neighborhoods in the 50ās and 60ās, then come through and run them. He won the Expert Award that way, he thought it was late 50ās. The blue sparkle was a standard model of his, late 50ās early 60ās, really small gap on that one.
The gold sparkle, orange and the blue/orange half swap are my best playing Butterflies. Iāve owned way more than this, but as the sparkle versions became rarer I traded them to friends that wanted them, and when I rejoined the online community in 2014 I traded a large part of my vintage Duncan collection for modern unresponsive yoyos. I think Dano has a large part of my Duncan collection. I kept these to have an example from all the eraās of the Butterfly.
**An original Glow in the Dark Butterfly is my last unicorn, if anyone has one theyād trade, please send me a PM.**

@AaronW Do you have any more info on this one?
I grew up in Wichita, KS and am super curious about it.

My friend, that the Expert award came from, became friends with Don Duncan Sr. and then later with Don Jr. He said Don Jr gave that one to him on one of his visits to the Duncan offices. It was a Promotional yoyo from what Iāve been told. Something Flambeau would bring to trade shows and give away, almost like a fancy business card.
Maybe @bjardin has more info about Duncan and Wichita, KS?

A take-apart butterfly with the wooden axle sleeve design of the Proyo š³
Iād actually love to see that, the Pro-fly is an underappreciated Duncan classic.

I just got 3 of the new mold Butterflies, havenāt gotten them from my sister yet. Also will pick up a new psychedelic.
Iād love to see an Unknown edition as well as player editions (Tetz, Kyle). Would also be cool to see more materials like a delrin version and a swirl transitional like FH1ās.
