They are! The exact same ones I saw at Nats. I’ll be snagging the Yellow. Not usually my color, but it goes so well with the retro art.

I too was drawn to the yellow, though the pink looks pretty awesome too.
Did you get a feel for if this Butterfly is more durable, like the Butterfly XT? My Butterflies are a patchwork of cracks touched up by school glue whereas my Butterfly XTs look as pristine as the day I got them.

They felt a lot higher quality than the translucent ones we get in stores today. But not much heavier IIRC. Will likely last a lot longer than those as well.

LOL! Yes. Really happy to revive. Duncan renew the molds every x amount of years, and this is one of the fresh batch. No spec changes, just the smaller batch plays better in theory.

Anyone have one of the Halloween themed Fallen44s? I guess they’re all a little Halloween themed since they’re all themed after horror movies?

As seen on What is Your Oldest Yo-Yo, this Royal Concave, with a relatively clean stamp and a trademark Yo-Yo. This Royal stamp was used from around 1956 until 1965 in what I’ve been able to read up on. Compared to this one piece wooden Butterfly, which could have been from the years between 1958-1966, its a lot smaller in diameter making it really feel like a toy. The Royal vs Duncan lawsuits during this era is what lead to both of their bankruptcies resulting in Duncan being sold to Flambeau Inc.

I’ve been playing with this Broke Village Fidalgo I picked up on the BST from @scott997. It’s a really great design aesthetic imo, and I love how grippy it is.

Happy Friday! Survivalist today. The last time I picked up the Survivalist, I was working on Split the Atom, and the throw responded going into the split bottom mount and hit me right between the eyes; really rang my bell. I’m probably going to lay off the front style on it for a while
