Iā€™m glad itā€™s been so successful!

May I ask why it wasnā€™t machined from start to finish rather than imjection molding and then machining?

I suppose because you wanted the hardware concealed in the yoyo without the bother of caps to cover it up?

Give me a glow in the dark version any day.

I got the white one and think they are all great colours but i would buy another in neon etc.

Anyone tried these responsive with a half spec bearing?

i wouldnt try that. it doesnt look like the bearing posts were designed to be shallow enough to support a half spec bearing.

putting one in there will result in the bearing getting stuck and most likely rendering the yoyo useless.

Thank you for the answer. I was just curious.

I have a few plastic yo-yos Plastic Mojo, RePlay Pro, Yeti, Delrin Skyva, Dove, Cloud and now the Plastic Fulvia. The Plastic Fulvia is something different.
To me
The Plastic Fulvia looks Heavy, Beefy, but does not look 59mm diameter big, it is like an optical illusion, it looks smaller than it is. The finish feels like a super fine dusting finish. It feels light to hold in the hand, and again it does not feel large or heavy in the hand at all.
I prefer undersized throws but this one is feels great in the hand. It feels light on the string. It is almost silent. The slight resonance I hear really sounds like an aluminum yo-yo. This is an awesome yo-yo.

Thank you Luftverk

Anyone know what kind of string these are shipping with? Just realizing i didnā€™t look at the packaging much before throwing the string on there.

maybe just a regular myy string or new kitty

I was browsing Luftverkā€™s site and I noticed that the only string they currently stock is Kitty. They say: ā€œThe primary purposes to stock this string is so I can have stock of it to include with yoyos. This is the 2021 version of Kitty FAT, available in Yellow or White.ā€

I donā€™t own this yoyo & have no clue what it ships with but it could be this.

Thank you!!

It was to save weight for the center and so that there werenā€™t loose parts! I think a big part of why people like how it plays is because theres so little center weight which usually causes the yoyo to be more thuddy and less floaty!

I also wanted the asthetic of a full solid state plastic yoyo instead of a multipiece yoyo. Its a big absurd to go to this length but I really miss the feeling of older Yoyojam yoyos and I think this yoyo does a decent job of bringing that fun back.

So in short if you machine all the parts it doesnt have the same ā€œfeelā€ but if i went the direction of a first base or skyva, it wouldnā€™t have the machined quality or smoothness. So this takes the best of both, the feel of a full plastic yoyo and the quality of a machined delrin.

This one is not kitty but it is a higher quality china sourced string. Its a fat variant which is what I prefer for slack tricks. For this pricepoint I couldnā€™t justify including any hand made string like my other yoyos unfortunately.

Thanks for clarifying. Iā€™m new to yoyo (got my first yoyo last week!) and discovered Iā€™m interested in unresponsive play. I ordered the plastic Fulvia from YYE over the weekend - canā€™t wait to give it a go!

No way!! Thats awesome!

one of the biggest reasons why I made the yoyo was so new players could enjoy my products - its the best feeling.

I hope you enjoy it!

I will echo the desire for some more ā€œvibrantā€ colors. I hope that future runs have some purple, pink, yellow, etc and glow in the dark (just in time for summer?).

The great thing about plastic is that now you have a mold that people like - the margins can only increase :wink:
