Not merely fixed axle but hewn from just the one piece; ProYo’s Roadster. I am told it is well thought of but not really my style. Had a giggle. ![6X7A8279](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/9/8/4984992eefe6cca9f27e2a17751855f247416fbe.jpeg) ---

Throwing this laminated Clean Tangerine fixie today. These are some of the best wooden yoyos you can buy right now. Smooth, long spinning (for a fixed axle) and comfy to hold. ![IMG_20220610_184908](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/7/3/f736ac0e5b0509f8e5c534fc42016ad6523b9eac.jpeg) ---

I feel the slippery slope of a rabbit hole of arcane facts and figures opening up before me but… what are the differences between the various flavours/editions/releases of _ **Duncan Butterfly** _ ? And how to spot them ? Mine differs - slightly - in labelling from the one above but is it **important**? ![6X7A8312](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/4/e/14e5622e4dae82d108d97434fa5726c484d19b04.jpeg) ---

This is my first stab at listing a chronological order off the top of my head, and will probably need to become its own thread. Weights and plastic hardness and /or softness are also a variable between all the editions. Detailed pictures and descriptions can be found throughout this thread for most of these models. Others with more knowledge please feel free to add. 1958-1966 1st Wooden 1 piece Butterflys typically with sparkle paint and solid colors. 1962- Special Edition 1 piece wooden Butterfly with comic booklet and stickers to customize and personalize 1962- Mardi Gras Butterfly was the 1st Plastic and part of the Disney World of Color series with inlayed gliter starts. 1967- Flambeau buys the Duncan Brand 1968- 1st Flambeau Plastic Butterfly with Small Engraved Butterfly in the center 1970- Large engraved Butterfly on face 1972- First Screened Butterfly on face also referred to as the “Psychedelic Butterfly” 1976- Back to Engraved face with the “Lace Wing Butterfly” 1980- Lace Wing Butterfly with Reslon-coated axle for increased spin times 1982- the introduction of the “Thick Wing” Butterfly still in solid colors. 1983- The European molds are created and “Rainbow Butterflys” are available internationally 1984- The 1st Translucents with “Thick Wing” Butterflys 1986- The Mariposas, these have a slimmer “Thick Wing” with Butterfly on top and Duncan on the bottom with a Made in Mexico stamp, the cards were still printed in the USA. 1989- The “Triangle Butterfly” appears and continues Translucents 1992-1994 1st Glow Flys, offered with two proof of purchase with Cooco Puffs cereal. Has Cookoo Bird graphic. 1994- The 1st of the Circular Font “The Original Made in the USA” 1998- Mexico production starts along with USA production. Made in the USA is dropped and replaced with " The Original " 2003- Production starts in China along side with Mexico and USA production is phased out. 2004- 75 year Duncan Anniversary, the 1st of the1958 wooden 3 piece reproductions are released in retro packaging. 2008- 2010 Holiday “Sparkle Flys” sold at Toy’s R Us, gliter translucent versions. These were made in Mexico. 2012-2017 the “Contemporary Flys” made in China, these have a smaller circular print with the AGJRK stamps at the bottom as seen on all of today’s Duncan models. These are what are currently at my local Wal-Mart. These tend to be a harder plastic, compared to the rest of the series. 2012- the first ball bearing version Butterfly XT in translucent colors 2016 - Another run of reproductions wooden Butterfly, a three piece version on the 1958 but smaller and rounder. 2019- Second version of Butterfly XT released in solid colors with another gram of weight. 2019- The AL Butterfly is released at Worlds 2021- New mold for the Contemporary Butterfly, these have a 6 letter code compared to the previous 5. Still hunting for one of these. Some special editions from a Japanese store have new version of a Triangle Butterfly graphic in translucent yellow and black. 2022- New throwback editions expected later this year. 2022 / October - New mold Butterflies, a new Psychedelics , a Pink Target and Purple Amazon editions. 2022/ December Pre-release for 2023 of the new AL Butterfly features a small bearing, thin pads, and new Delrin caps Spring 2023 - New Pastel solids to be released around Easter. 2024-Fall, Glow in the Dark 95 year edition and Unknown drop 2024-November Target Holiday and Sparkle Flys with 95 anniversary 2025-Spring 2nd edition of the Easter Pastels slight variations in colorways compared to the 2023 release. 2025-Summer Charlie Brown Peanuts series available in four variants with Snoopy and Woodstock What do you think @bjardin @Danomano ? ---
