Anyone know a reliable company that would accept design submissions? I have a half a dozen usable yoyo ideas. 1 for yoyofactory and 1 for onedrop specifically. The others would work with any company but those two are specially thought up for them. XD and ty.
All I want is one of the ideas I submitted to be made into reality. Then sent to me in a nice package of course XD.
some of the smaller companies would be more likely too look at designs then companies like yoyofactory. Email gsquared owner he is usually pretty good.
Or if your feeling really ambitious try emailing kyo or yoyodoc. They both have been in the business for years and they would be able to help should they find the need to reply.
Most yoyo companies that are succeeding already have someone who is capable of designing any yoyo they need. It only costs a couple hundred bucks to get some prototypes machined, so that’s probably going to be your best bet.
Foxland precision is the only one I know for sure machines for a few small yoyo companies, though I’ve heard onedrop does some as well. I’m not sure if they only machine for clyw though.
I have no idea who owns what(lately). But I would pretty surprised if Landon ‘owned Foxland’?
Foxland Precision was Started, owned and operated by a Master Machinist named Alvin Rollins.
I used to talk to him when he was first starting out. He didn’t know much about making yoyos at the time. I certainly didn’t teach him anything. But we talked about trends and misc. things; since I had already been around for years and he was gathering as much information as he could to help facilitate his blending into the Yoyo making biz.
That guy is a Mastermind and Perfectionist. I doubt he would be bought out by anybody.
But then again, Landon Balk is a Mastermind also. So it is possible they might form a Braintrust of sorts.
But I highly doubt it.
I would contact Alvin at Foxland. He used to take on special projects. He possibly is too busy now, dunno?
