I, like many other people on this board, have a problem when it comes to having JUST 1-2 yoyos in my collection.&nbsp; I can see in the future that number only going up.&nbsp; Right now I own two, a Dark Magic II and a Battosai, and I am very happy with both.&nbsp; I am in a place where I am thinking I want two more yoyos to round out my initial collection.&nbsp; Through my additional research I have defined three different criteria that I am looking for:

- I don’t want something similar to what I have so I am thinking of something smaller than the Battosai and then something between the DM and the Battosai.
- I am also thinking I want something made with different materials so perhaps a plastic, delrin or acrylic.
- I also was really blown away by the craftsmanship of the Battosai so I am looking for something that that would meet that but also be functional.&nbsp; I also like supporting the little guy

Through my research I found a couple of yoyos that are on my radar like the 3yo3 with the Omnicron or Crucial with the Half and Half or if I can track down a Cream.&nbsp; I have filled out the obligatory template below:

Material: not aluminum or plastic metal bonded(ie. DM)  
Shape: I like the H of the Battosai but I am open to any  
Size: undersized and a medium  
Weight: Don’t have a preference  
Color: Don’t have a preference  
Playstyle: 1A  
Response: Unresponsive  
Grinding: Preferred  
Hubstacks: Not necessary  
X-Factor: Craftsmanship, limited edition preferred, I like to support the independent little guy that is putting out a quality product.  
Price: 0-80 each

I look forward to your responses and in the mean time will continue to comb over this forum for ideas.&nbsp; I was also thinking we should compile a sticky with a template on what you are looking for.

3yo3 omnicron! Acrylic, sparkly, nice, customizable…

Or crucial cream for delrin.

Duncan Freebird? Well not exactly the small guy, but it’s awesome as far as I can remember.  
Or…  
Yep anything by 3yo3.

Any 3yo3 will match your stats. Especially the omnicron for it’s shape. And they’re all made by one person too. Landon Balk.

Does anyone happen to know any of yoyos that match these criteria and are 53-54mm in diameter? I am thinking that’s my target size for a medium yoyo because I find myself wanting something in between the 51mm of the Battosai and 56mm of the DM when I play with both back to back. For the smaller yoyo I am thinking something in the 49-50mm range. Hypothetically is the 1mm in diameter between a 51mm of the Battosai and a 50mm Crucial Half and Half noticeable?

Not very noticeable, but the additional weight distribution and the weight itself might. Cosmo and Omnicron comes in at a 52 mm, and the CMS comes in at 56mm.
