Yoyo companies like the player, like his design, know the customers also will like him and his design and will buy the yoyo, so they chose to collab. It’s that simple. It’s limited, looks coooool, people like the player, and it’s probably on a already pretty popular yoyo, so it’s sought after. It’s that simple. ---
