Regardless of true collaborations, I’d like to see more companies using the side effect system. I’m honestly still not even sure about the “different weight” argument since I only have one SE yoyo and no different effects! but I do like the potential for customization in terms of shape and colour (and I guess ultimately weight), and I appreciate the impact on the manufacturing process and lifespan of the yoyo (accidentally cross threads? New side effects, not new yoyo!).
So yeah… Punchline SE, featuring the all-new mega-spikes!
That said, I’ll throw myself behind a true SPYY and OD collab. Or another SPYY and CLYW. Or a SPYY meets MonkeyfingeR…
I’m only interested in a collaboration if it’s built from the ground up. I’m super disappointed with most of these fusions. All companies should be required to make a DBZ reference before considering such, so they can wallow in the shame of their decisions.
Imagine if you will… a side effect so customized to the SPYY collaboration that it looks just like the SPYY spike. The only thing giving it away being a line where the yoyo meets the spike…
Naturally, the effect is changed as soon as you put on any other side effect, but at least there’s that option.

It wouldn’t be the same, to me, aesthetically. However, if SPYY and One Drop did collaborate on a return top with Side Effects, I would want one.
a SPYY x OD would be cool, with a custom Side Effect that looked like either SPYY spikes or those “six shooter hole” spikes, the Six-Holed Spike would be siiiiick to have on a limited SPYY x OD!! Or something like a Radian with One Drop grooves and limited SPYY Spike Side Effect would be cool.
I was going to say Spyder X Dingo, but the Spyder doesn’t need to be altered.
