Oh, did someone say butterfly yo-yo? Iā€™ve been collecting for about 20 years. Itā€™s not always easy to find something here in Europe thatā€™s good value for money, but the search is a lot of fun. The white wooden butterfly was my first one. The orange one has a wooden axle, all the others are original.

Those European mold versions are awesome, and very rare over in the States, cool to see all the variants.

Iā€™ve managed to acquire 3 butterflys in the last 3 days. The green one I found in an antique store. Then we ended up at Target later that same day and I found the Easter colored ones. I bought the purple and pink. I did some cap swapping and ended up with what you see here. The yellow one is an xt Iā€™ve had for a while, I stuck the caps out of the purple one into it. The other purple one is from Amazon as you guys know haha. Any guesses to the age of the green one? Mid 90s?

I believe the Triangle Butterflies were around the mid-to-late 90ā€™s, so that sounds about accurate. :slight_smile:

According to @Exmimeā€™s chronology, they started making them in 1989.

Theyā€™re a bit tight but they do fit, add a little weight to it as well. They dont sit completely flush is the only thing.

Itā€™s the pink butterfly that is illusive to me. I really need to stop rummaging through the bins at Target; itā€™s only $3ā€¦might as well get another!

Actually came in a few days ago, but weā€™ve had quite the week. Work issues, then both of us being extremely sick (both ended up in the local ER, actually :face_with_crossed_out_eyes::face_with_medical_mask:) but it did come!

Iā€™m on the fence, I canā€™t decide if I want to open it and play with it, or leave it aloneā€¦:thinking::thinking:
