I want to talk about some of the new cap types in this run. Most of the Unicorns come with a pointy cap; either the translucent polycarbonate, or these black POM caps, depending on the colorway. One of the colorways comes with the “witch hats”, which have a stepped design. This is purely for fun; they are the same for palm spins as the earlier pointy caps. ![cap-unicorn-black](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/f/6/9f66da7a7cca7761d92aff6a99f0b07ec2b3958f.jpeg) ![cap-witch-hat-black](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/2/9/a2967c80a3196b418260081b949e7d871a3b47dc.jpeg) Replacing the stock flat caps this time around are these improved weight rings, which install and remove easily (with fingers, usually!) and are reversible - both sides are identical. ![unicorn_2_weight_rings](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/4/2/942303ad3b7420fcb7d66bf3e8d9a3c494261cbc.jpeg) The witch caps, of course, go on this colorway, the UN-icorn: ![unknown-5](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/7/c/c7cd9a4696711f3e8a49caa74bbd55ac7abf107f.jpeg) There’s more inside, but at least it’s easy to get there this time around. I’ll post cup photos soon! ---

I have spin top caps, just not at retailers. I’ve wholesaled small parts before and honestly, it’s a ton of work that I’m not really prepared for - I don’t have retail packaging, etc for the loose caps. ![IMG_8105](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/3/2/4326bcd842e293d74abba03a2cff5ecd30d7670c.jpeg) ---

what about retailers like YYE they have some listings for loose items, might be worth looking into that. lots of yoyos with caps this year. ---

Diving into yo-yo design with the Diffraction is impressive! From learning CAD to creating a unique yo-yo, your journey’s inspiring. It’s cool how you focused on every detail, making the Diffraction not just a toy, but a work of art. Big shoutout to everyone who helped make it happen. ---

Four colorways. $60.00_ The Harbinger is an MR85-bearinged metal yoyo intended for snappy responsive play + long spin. It has a rim-biased design, but is lightweight and comfortably rounded. As is the case for many metal yoyos I design, the largest challenge was the cup. Due to our desire to have a less expensive offering than the RBC, a capped design with a flat face was not possible. There were numerous iterations and discussions and drawings before Glen and I came to this version of the Harbinger. I’ve actually been sitting on these for months - the last few details of the production took a long while - but I’m still happy with everything about it. I hope you all enjoy it, too. ---
