I’m very new to the hobby and only have three yoyos (YYJ Dark Magic 2, YYF Velocity, Yomega Nebula) so I don’t really have anything fancy or interesting to contribute myself, but I’m curious to see what of everybody’s collection is not necessarily actually the best throw but the best looking of the bunch. I was surprised to find that (at least based on a couple searches) there hasn’t been a thread like this in a long time.
So what are the real lookers of your collection? Got any crazy custom paint jobs? Any designs you think are really aesthetically pleasing? Post your top picks in the thread and of course, post a picture!
I really like the look of my yyo hatchet. I haven’t seen the color option available at yye I ordered it from japan. It’s a black base with gold wash and pink speckle. It looks a lot like jack rabbit but instead of a clear wash it’s gold.
There is something that’s awesomely simple about the 2013 Benchmark H. In clear anno, with silver ultralights, it just looks like it was made to play, not to visually dazzle. I’m way into that kind of aesthetic.

I guess I like this one because it was from awhile back. Back when : me, Eric Wolff, Alan Gray, John Rollins, Stan Zygo and others; were cutting stuff up; just to see what we could come up with.
This started off as a Bionic Freehand. I machined it down and fit it with machine cut Delrin rims. Then I use polished Viper hubs to core the yoyo.
It was a little different way back then. And is actually still a little different now, lol.
Nice rizki. I’m on board with the “simple but beautiful” stuff.
I love my lavender DANG players edition. No loud etching or font. Just the lavender with brass SEs.
