Favorite looking yoyos

Just a fun thread to share what looks cool to you in a yoyo. Pictures welcome! (If I need to move this to one of the Yo-Yo Exhibition categories, let me know).

Old(er) school:

  1. Anything with raw metal and some anno
    • Duncan Metal Zero, Metal Drifter (esp. the original dark blue or dark red annos)
    • basically everything in this thread: satined yoyo pictures..?
  2. Hybrid YYJs
    • DM2, Hitman, X-Convict, etc.

New school:

  1. Offset Outlier 3 (esp. dark blue & raw rims)
  2. MYY Katana
  3. ZGRT Durendall (every colorway on YYE, with black on black being my least favorite but still cool).
    • I typically hate light yoyos, but this looks so cool it’s still tempting!
  4. Brands too expensive for me to look at that blow these out of the water (Ineffeable [e.g. Saber], Mowl [e.g. Surveillance])

Apparently I have a type. (Sorry for the poor picture quality - I don’t have most of these now to retake):

Well-loved yoyos are better than yoyos that sit in a case!

Is that the ziz?

I think those are TP Hades(es)… that he’s using for 3A. Which is super cool if you can afford it.

I can’t believe I forgot to include some Motion yoyos!!! The Harmonic is another great looking one, but I don’t think y’all make anything ugly. Would love to actually own one someday.

You could definitely send a peak off to get painted to match this. It’s pobably going to be way cheaper than finding this exact version. @yogurt

to who? I believe Levi isn’t doing it anymore, his website is down too

Off the top of my head, I’m leading towards the Spyy Ronin or the Sengoku Hattori.

One of them is the edgiest chonk and the other looks like it might take a piece of your finger with it - because it will.

Blessed to own my favorite looking yoyo.

This is the exact 28s Peak that Chris gave as a gift to Ben, the late author of the famed “History Of The Peak,” as an example of a “perfect” 28 Stories colorway. It was later owned by YoYoBrothers and photographed for the YoYo History Museum as the entry for a 28s Peak. It’s mint and I’d rather sell my left nut than this thing.

I would think most high detail custom car painters could match this airbrush work. Also Levi has a LinkedIn you could reach him at.
