Japan Tech Fractiss is the last big yoyo I’m really looking for. Haven’t even seen one in the entire time I’ve been looking

This Catalyst…. it’s been on my wants list since probably 2012 lol I’ve only even seen 1 or 2 on the aftermarket

Harold Owens’ 2012 worlds freestyle is probably still one of my all time favorites

Any OG anti-yo.

It’s hard to describe the hype around these yoyos to anyone who started after the YYN era.

Honestly my Gail YoYo was the DipTych by A-RT, it seemed super mysterious, limited run, everyone kept the ones they had and rarely popped up on the BST. A-RT brought out the D7 and that brought my desire to own the OG even further.

Finally able to snag one I did, and it truly is a pinnacle organic YoYo. :yo-yo:

All that being said - that was probably my largest grail YoYo

Pyro 3 is a yoyo I would jump on immediately if one became available. That and an NVx.

I’ve got a few grails!

Haven’t owned most of them, but maybe some day! :crossed_fingers:

  • Mo Chavez yoyo mod, especially one with Henry’s viper hubs.

I used to drool over Mo’s mods on the yoyoing.com/news forums back in the day. True works of art. Blew little Augie’s mind.

  • Original HSpin Handquake.

OG Bimetal, made in Switzerland, beautiful graphic design. So badass.

  • Higby Bumblebee GT.

I am a cartoonist and I learned much of my foundation on the Bumblebee GT, and Higby was my hero growing up. Still is! So this is a match made in heaven.

  • YoyoFactory Grind Mutant 2

Owned one very briefly but had to flip it quickly for rent money in college. Missed it ever since!

  • Yoyo Ninja Boy Bionic Freehand 1, US Nationals Edition

Player the heck out of one but traded it to Ben McPhee in summer of 03 or 04 for a couple regular color MIP Freehand 1s.

I miss it! Used to play the Duncan Yoyo Ninja Boy flash animation online platformer game online after school. Love the tie in with Less Than Jake too.

Also, fun fact:
If I remember right, part of the seed money for YoyoFactory was Ben buying up all the backstock of Australian market Freehand 1s and flipping them following the Duncan mold breaking.

  • SPYY Pure VSOP

JonRob is a hero and style icon of mine, and I think this is one of the most aesthetically beautiful and innovative yoyos ever made.

Awesome stuff!

Also, your demo for the Freehand MG is what really made me want one!
