It wasn’t the first yoyo with replaceable response. Turbo discs came out with the introduction of the pocket pocket in fall 99. Prior to that the turbo bumblebee and coldfusions had been released as well as the super yo samurai.

Man for some reason I thought TD were introd w the SB-2 because of its gap tool but I know you’re right. And that timing makes sense because of the huge dustup between Custom and Playmaxx around then. My bad!

The Butterfly was the first butterfly shaped yoyo (“Butterfly” and “Imperial” are still registered trademarks of Duncan afaik) to be mass produced but I think the concept existed in the late 1800s.

Yeah 1958. I assume the plastic version started in 68 when Duncan was acquired by Flambeau
