Sorry I couldn’t find the other thread, but I’d appreciate if someone could tell me what yoyo this is: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/4/d/24dc4548adcd5a8ee61024db32988e09ac3c91e3.jpeg) ---

I was just guessing based on the fairly rare double bump edge treatment. Just a guess A straight gap view would/could be helpful😉 ---

Well, I ran out of guesses. Looking at the cup view, there seems to be a slightly different number of step cut into the yo-yo. And as already mentioned; the hub area is a different shape. But there has to be some coincidence in the shapes\> ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/f/2/2f298101246cdf0b033eb93957dc1b9b731dc3db.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/9/c/99c7465e286339393be8f473aa475dcd678c3eb7.jpeg) ---

I believe it is a prototype of the Evil-yo which explains the subtle changes ---

It has some writing on it, super faded so I’m not sure what it says. May be a signature but I do not know ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/3/c/23cf0fa8bff1c9fbcdd227dd79576d70a340cc44.jpeg) ---

Well, I’m gonna call in a Genius on this one Hold on———\>. I just sent a message to Ray(MonkeyfingeR). He will either recognize it or also wonder ‘why’ it does look so much like another yoyo? ---

Holly smokes that is an old throw. If memory servers correctly there were 4 (might have been 5) protos of the evil-yo. 2 were anodized to test a colour the other 2 remained raw. I have one anodized and 1 raw one. Todd has the other anodized one and until know I had no idea what happened with the forth. That is an really cool piece of MFD history. Well done dude!! The proto is a fair bit different from the production run I wasn’t happy with the spin time so we moved weight away from the center and thickened up the rim. Thanks for the shout out all. I love it!!

Love to hear the story of it! I’ve been making in shred through all my tricks all day. When it’s not being thrown it sits besides my yoyo prototype the moose, in which there also happens to be 5 and is raw! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/8/5/285a7a878e5d23136899431470e630f6917d6102.jpeg) ---
