Butterfly Hype-Beasts Thread šŸ¦‹ - More colours and special editions?

A year ago I got this gold and white butterfly from the bst. My son saw me open it and asked if he could have it and I obliged.

I haven’t been able to buy any new yoyos for a while and was getting depressed. I decided to ask for the Butterfly if he wasn’t using it and he gave it back then this happened.

Turns out its a Markmont. I didn’t know Markmont Butterflys existed until this weekend when my friend @anon48177792 got an awesome black and gold one. Looking at this yoyo in a different light changed it from a giveaway to one of my favorites. May be a life lesson in there somewhere.

Not sure if you’re pointing out that the cap popped out a little. That happened on mine but it popped back in pretty easily.

The logo changes color with light changes.

I sincerely appreciate that. I sometimes worry I’m just the ā€œthat’s really great grandpaā€ guy. I sure enjoy this place though.

Does the Butterfly Psychedelic have graphics on both sides or only one?

Both sides

I just got this black butterfly and it came out of the box with one cap off and it was warped. It snapped back into place but I have some long term concerns. Thoughts?

Edit: Disregard. They are swapping out the yoyo. I started wondering about the seat and if an issue there might be the reason it came off. They must have thought the same thing. They were sending me a new cap but emailed back for a swap.

When I took the caps out of my butterfly they warped after sitting out for a day or two.

I’m not looking for replacements or anything since I like throwing the butterfly without caps but why does this warping happen? Is it an environmental thing? Are thinner cuts prone to this?

@bjardin I’m having the same issue with both of my Butterfly AL caps after a few months. My clear was like thst out of the box. I have already tried pressing them flat with weights but I will have to try this:

but its not just that my caps are warped, I only have one set of decals and I already applied them. Maybe heat with help.

I figured it popped out and just warped in the early summer heat. I have three others that I rotate out every day two and they are all tight. I never considered pulling them off because I preferred them on with stickers.

I have at least 4, and it’s still as is. Maybe stored room temp? It could also be the smaller tolerance of the cap as well.

Happy to send replacement if needed.

Happy to replace. Trying to figure out the cause of this issue as well.

Maybe this would be a good time to release the new Unknown caps???

Has anyone who never pulled their caps off have an issue? Mine are all tight and flat with regular use.
