Niubi sold many things years ago, but this does not come from him, he comes from an Italian collector who in 2011 took it from another collector in Belgium (the same one who sold me my Wyyc2007).
There are several prototypes with reduced weight of the Sumo and they generally have a weight ranging from 64 to 65 grams.
This is a unique piece and has a weight of only 58.5 grams (9 less than the standard), has a more tapered hub, a thinner shell interior and above all less thick and flattened rims on the outside. (@twitch77 has an excellent eye!!!)
For this reason the writings have been integrated into the graphics ⌠These are the only two shells on which these graphics have been engraved.
Lastly, this yoyo was used as an anodization test for the Wyyc2007 gold color.
Cool facts on this! Also you reminded me of the sumo I got at the world yoyo contest back in 2007.
Love the color of that Banshee! 
Sorry, I didnât answer you about this.
I still donât know honestly, the courier delivered it to me a few minutes before I left work and I just got back.
I have to replace the silicone, the one present is very hardened and the yoyo has a bad return.
However, it has very long rotation times and its weight does not seem to be so low.
In the next few days I will have clearer ideas.

P.S. A Sumo identical to yours, Takeshi Kamisato has it
That far right 
jeeez @AaronW, took you long enough!
I only look at this once a week 
@gsimian g-string finally made it to me and a new Patagonia r5
Is the play as legendary as I hear?
Iâve barely gotten to play with it, but so far I am enjoying it. Feels like it needs some breaking in but it handles what I have thrown at it so far alright. Like my Lyn Fury, it does require a bit more finesse than todayâs yos but I view it as a challenge to refine my technique. All in all glad I got it and looking forward to getting in more time with it.
I mean this guy slayed with it.
DelValle and @hobbygod are my 2 favorite throwers. I could watch them all day and be completely mesmerized. Theyâve both got so much power and control and smoothnessâŚitâs ridiculous lol.
I love my FYFO. Itâs silkâŚsprayed with PamâŚdipped in butterâŚand marinated in oil.
@gsimian The g-string made it through the mail and has finally arrived. First time buying/trying non-bulk string.
I swapped out the stock flat bearing for a concave one from one of my MYYs and Agent Smith is now even deadlier. Definitely loving it.
YeahâŚa swap to a centering bearing can make a word of difference! When I first got my One Drop Legendary Terrarian I wasnât all that impressed. Swapped out the flat for a concave and it rapidly became a fave!
The hitman is my favorite of all time. I bought one when they first came out and still throw it all the time.
If you find your hitman to be too responsive you should be able to find some 19mm pads to replace the o-rings, the main issue is finding a pad with a good thickness. Iâm donât recall which one fit best in my hitman, but it makes a big difference over those o-rings. I silicone my o-ring response yoyojams now.
Good call. Have had only one surprising snag so far, but otherwise it hasnât been unpredictable. Will keep this in mind though!
