im tryna be patient and wait for the pastels coming… the maniax ones are tight though. Here’s a red blue halfswap with the original triangle logo from the 90s…

I was told the material on the Maniax versions is different than the standard Butterfly’s that you can pick up in the US. Is that what you thought too?

I don’t have a maniax edition, definitely have not see black opaque caps on butterflys anywhere in the us but i want them. I would guess they are similar to the duncan psychedelics new mold just with black color. the translucent red and blue is out there in the us market, but that yellow is not ( the yellow is awesome, not a common color I’ve seen used for butterflys).

Might be hard to see in the photo, but I made some stands tonight out of clear plastic sheet to display my butterflies on a shelf (upright, so they don’t roll off). 🙃

Pretty consistent. I think I prefer the hand feel of the Maniax but doubt I could pick it out blindfolded.

> Hey Everybody, Since the new generation of Duncan Butterfly yoyos were released I have been a little obsessed. Such a humble but iconic toy that was never particularly special, but still was always available to be played to its limits and sparked interest for generations. This was what 5 to 10 year old me knew was a good yoyo and imperials and butterfly’s have always been there since the beginning. I like to tinker and I was never a modder in the late 90’s to mid 2000’s when i was really in…

What a great thread to read through. Especially after spending the morning looking through photos of the Butterfly AL.

I didn’t realize a new plastic butterfly was released. Now I have to debate: 2023 plastic, Butterfly AL, or Butterfly AL with delrin caps. Decisions decisions!

The last couple of times I stop by my local Target all they had were butterfly XT. They no longer had any throws in the discount bins at the front of the store.
