This is sooooo great! It seems like at least one of the guys should’ve been able to cut the string with their swords though??? It’s apparently not some uncuttable string or anything since the one guy cut it with a knife to sacrifice himself. ---

Was rewatching Buffy the vampire slayer and saw Willow gift Buffy a yoyo in s5e9. I know it’s a stretch but does anyone think they can identify this yoyo? The episode premiered in November 2000.

It looks a lot like a Duncan Trans-Axtion. It’s a little hard to tell the overall profile, but the color and cap shape and design (one side blank/one side printed) both match. The general time frame matches up too. It was released in early 1999 and that episode aired in the late 2000. ---

Steve Brown was the stunt double for that actually! Per IMDB: “The yoyo scenes, as shown by Hansel (Owen Wilson), were performed by professional yoyo performer and Duncan company employee Steve Brown.” [Next page](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/yoyos-in-pop-culture/334019.md?page=2)
