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:
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..?
Hybrid YYJs
• DM2, Hitman, X-Convict, etc.
New school:
Offset Outlier 3 (esp. dark blue & raw rims)
MYY Katana
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!
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):
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.
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.
