Hey @theyoyoarchive, thanks for sharing this! I have some recommended edits and additions for the 2021 butterflies: - _“2021- New mold for the Contemporary Butterfly, these have a 6 letter code compared to the previous 5.”_ — **This was an initial rumor that didn’t end up being substantiated. As far as I’ve seen all new and previous generation butterflies use a 5 letter code, and we don’t know what info they encode.** Please feel free to link my write up on identifying the new-mould butterflies: [An unofficial guide to identifying the new Duncan Butterflies](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/an-unofficial-guide-to-identifying-the-new-duncan-butterflies/365957) - _“Some special editions from a Japanese store have new version of a Triangle Butterfly graphic in translucent yellow and black.”_ **These are called the YoyoManiax versions (I don’t think there is any harm in naming the vendor, just not using a link) They come in fluorescent yellow, red and a blue (which is more green/blue than the standard blue butterfly), with black caps, and either gold or silver stamps. Might be worth giving these their own bullet point.** --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/butterfly-hype-beasts-thread-more-colours-and-special-editions/366171)._
