So inspired by this happening at yoyo club, I realized that a fun goal for yoyo collecting would be to collect the yoyos that have the same namesake for the fun of it. And I need some help making a list of the yoyos that do.

Making list here and will update with any that others can think of. Add any that I missed!

“Monarch” - Dressel and BMT
“Miracle” - Yoyo factory and Aoda
“Basilisk” - Turning Point and ZGRT
“Balloon” - OP and Heaven
“Edge” - Yoyo factory, Yoyoempire, Yoyojam.
“Journey” - Yoyopalace and Yoyojam
“Fusion” - D.Pucket x Dressel and RadiYoactive
“Essence” - GeneralYo and Yoyofactory
“Cruiser” - Superyo and Riesenwellen
“Aura” - Topyo and Yoyofficer
“Noah” - Atmos and Yoyo monster
“Eclipse” - Spintastics and One drop x OYY
“M1” - Henry’s and One drop
“Pure” - SPYY and AceYo
“Icarus” - DocPop and DUALL
“Nimbus” - YoyoEmpire and Alchemy yoyos
“Samurai” - Superyo and Sengoku
“Orbis” - Gruntbull and Magic yoyo

Please add any more you know of!
I now realize this would be a very expensive undertaking lol

“Albatross” - G2 and Japan Technology

Not really sure if this one counts since its two spellings, but they’re essentially being named after the same thing.

Lonestar Throws “Freya” / Reykjavik Return Tops “Freyja”

And you don’t have the RSO stuff on there. The Derti would make it a rough go. :slight_smile:

Puffin- Reykjavik Return Tops and CLYW

The Puffin feels like an odd one, because the bi Puffin is mostly designed to be a bi Puffin 2, but the Puffin 1 and Puffin 3 aren’t numbered.

Actually maybe the whole Puffin line is worthy of this lol. Three unnumbered “Puffins” and then the Puffin 2 lol. Even funnier to consider that the Ragnarok is an evolution of the Puffin 3, so you could maybe view that as the Puffin 4, and the bi Puffin becomes the Puffin 5.

I’m mostly just viewing the Puffin situation as different, because they’re carrying the same name because they’re evolutions of the same model for the same player. It’s not a coincidental overlap.

Personal favorites because I’m a fan of both companies:

Caffeine from ilinx toys (now Helix Throws I believe)
Caffeine from Yoyobarista

Fun fact: both “ie” and “ei” appear three times in this post. :nerd_face:

Other than the statement saying they are used three times each I can’t find the third use?

11

Will Mable, I hope you don’t find this too confusing.

Next month when Palli releases the Tri-metal Puffin 12, it will have at least one feature of the Puffin: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. None of them were ever released.

At 74mm wide, it is very pocket friendly. But because it weighs 167 grams, you have to wear Suspenders to keep your pant up.

All featuring “Rhino” but interestingly small variations:

ZGRT The Rhino
Werrd Rhino
MonkeyFingeR RhiNo (multi-tool)

EDIT: Rhino is short for Rhinoplasty in the case of the Werrd yoyo, in which case it’s very different.

Blazing Team Metal Max Tornado

Spintastics Tornado

I’m sure I’ll upset someone.

I find this an interesting goal, but at the same time I am feeling disappointed. It feels there is a little unimaginative thought in companies naming their products.
