The [Hey Bud](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/freehand-one-yoyo-by-duncan-toys?variant=42954080288958) artwork, created during Augie Fash’s time at Duncan, emerged from raw Echo 2 yo-yos. Initially inspired by space themes and Duncan’s heritage, the concept evolved through a conversation with Paul Escolar to depict an astronaut and an alien as friends, resulting in the playful [Hey Buds](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/freehand-one-yoyo-by-duncan-toys?variant=42954080288958) artwork. This limited edition artwork was featured on a few Echo 2 yo-yos and has now been re-released in full color on t-shirts and a limited run Freehand 1 yoyo, offering a chance to support a meaningful project and Duncan’s legacy.

The urge to just buy every single one of them is real.
Anyone have the glow FH1 already? Does it actually glow like a lot or is it more of a gimmick? I got the gold but I’m splurging for at least one more and it’s between that and the Hey Bud

I’d love to buy a glasseye and a white freehand to wipe the logo off and make a Danny Severance freehand.

Use a ball pump with a needle nose. At least that is what I use.

Take an air pump (like you’d use for inflating a basketball), build up the needle with some tape so it’s a tight fit, and pop the cap out with air pressure. Best way to remove the axle is to chuck it in a drill (just to hold it) and unscrew the half.
