These are also hybrids, but YoYoJam, sponsor of our our gracious host, produced a ton of innovative and classic plastics. The Lyn Fury (an all-plastic version of the hybrid YYJ Hitman) has already been mentioned, so I’ll highlight the Dark Magic II as a standout throw that a lot of people learned their tricks on.
They’re molded plastics, so they might not match up with contemporary expectations for smoothness, etc., for yoyos in their price range (especially in the current used market for them), but they’re stable and solid and let throwers take their time as they work through tricks.
(Also, I appreciate another excuse to show off my Ghost Edition, although I ought to check for case foam before I take these pictures.)
Some still hope for a Dark Magic III… But, you know, a machined 15th Anniversary Edition DM II would sell like mad. cough @AndreBoulay cough

Anyone know of upcoming plastic releases? Seems like most releases are metal lately
If you want a responsive plastic throw, consider The Thing. DocPop also sells them. BoltXP does play responsive quite well with a half spec though.
My fave plastic is the Butterfly!

MK1 and Spinworthy are releasing the Plasm at some point. It’s a plastic RBC.
