Final Decision: Bloodcells or Buttons

General Yo-Yo
1

OK people, my holidays are coming up and I will be making either a run of Bloodcells or Buttons for YYE, probably for release in either January or February

Read the info, check out the pictures and make a single choice. Whatever gets the most votes is what I will make.

The Bloodcell:

Modeled after the shape of a red Bloodcell, this yoyo is comfortable and very functional. It has a dimple suitable for pull starts in any direction.

Woods: beech, maple (12 of each)
Diameter: 57mm
Width: 35.3mm
Weight: 46-50g
Axle: wooden, fixed, 8mm Tasmanian oak.

The Button:

For this one, the goal was to make a classic butterfly shaped yoyo that perform well within a large weight range. The holes in the side have three purposes: to reduce weight in general (and at the center), to create a touch of float, and to aid in picking out knots. The holes penetrate straight through both halves.

It’s a really nice playing model.

Woods: white oak, zebrawood, purpleheart, wenge (6 of each)
Diameter: 56
Width: 32.3
Weight 40-53g
Axle: wooden, fixed, 8mm Tasmanian oak

Tough choice! I love the shape of the blood cell, but I also think the Button has a great look too and I like all the different wood choices. Went with blood cell in the end because pull starts.

Garrett need to base the retail price on what it would cost YYE per unit. He doesn’t know that yet, so he can’t say a retail price either.

In guessing it will work out about $60 retail.
