I think That looks like an og Duncan freehand one to me ??? At least from what I can tell from the caps, but yet I could be wrong. Itā€™s kinda hard to tell :thinking:

Thereā€™s a show in Netflix called Samurai Rabit
The rabbits second weapon is a yoyoā€¦


You can see it attached to the rabbits right hip.

I think @mable was correct with it being a Duncan Trans-Axtion. This scene came out the year before the first Freehand was released(2001). I initially thought it was a Freehand based on the caps too, but after looking it up I realized it was a little too early for that to be one.

How many ā€œCrippling bouts of vertigoā€ before I can learn the invisible man?

Thatā€™s a cute cartoon. I hope I donā€™t loose all my friends though.

Itā€™s only a YoYo Shwa, how much could it cost? $1,000?

Tommy Smothers, and this is ancient history at this point.

Yo-yos in space is fun, but admittedly not ā€œpop cultureā€.

Sorry, I thought you were referencing a TV called Arrested Development. One charcter is always talking about her crippling bouts of vertigo, and another has a book about ā€œThe Invisible Man Inside of Me.ā€

I assumed you were joking off that, sorry for the confusion.

Not totally relevant to the topic, but Yojinbo meaning bodyguard really opened the meaning behind Yojimbo in Final Fantasy :smiley: Cool little fact.

Just randomly loaded up this game I never played before. Atomic Betty for GameBoy Advance. The game sucks but this characterā€™s idle animation is him throwing some kind of responsive yoyo and doing a little flourish.

Terrible movieā€¦.but YYWS yoyos and our wheel/anchor/waves logo was in ā€œDiary Of A Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul.ā€

I wish it was a better movie. Then it would be cool. Oh well. Iā€™ve been trying to convince Jules Jordan to use our stuff as props, but you knowā€¦kids and all.
