When the Hitman was first released in 2003 it changed EVERYTHING. Grinds and unresponsive play became mainstream, and ask anyone who was around that time – the Hitman was the yo-yo of choice. Ready to bring it to the next level, World Champion Johnnie DelValle (JD) did a complete redesign taking everything you love about the original Hitman and adding in the new Solid Spin axle system!
The World’s editions were green/silver and green/gold. I’m not sure how many green/silver were made, but I was told at Worlds that there were 100 of the green/gold. They were available at Worlds or from one other site. The National’s edition was red/black and as far as I know it was only available there, but it’s possible that the store that sponsors Nationals had some, too. I’ve only seen a picture of one of them, so I’m not sure how limited it was.
