Around 90 will be sold on Yo-Yo Nation in the coming weeks. 5 colorways: purple, bronze, yellow and red will in the line up. Staying true to the original Luchador shape and the idea of “we design yo-yos we want to see” this is sure to be yet another unique, solid piece for ThrowDown Yo-Yos.
Several impressive design elements are showcased in the Lucha Libre. First is the steel spike nuts that follow the spike theme of the Luchador. Also the use of small metal washers to seat the bearing. This allows the bearing to sit on a hard flat surface and prevents the problem of “crunching” the bearing seat, which has been a problem in other delrin yo-yos like the Silk and Gong Fu.

A few months ago Self Edge released their 5th colab with Flathead. It featured a yo-yo graphic on the leather back patch of the jeans (here). Now the graphic can be seen on t-shirts.
These will be released as part of a special Flathead party at Self Edge on the 7th of September. Check out more details here
Flatheads attention to quality and detail are impeccable. And while I have only tried on there jeans, I can only imagine how solid the shirts are.
So, I know I said I’d be updating yoyo2 a lot more. But honestly there hasn’t been much happening thats yoyo2 worthy. Again, if you guys find something you think should be up here email me. seth at savedeth.com
Anyways, here are some of the first pictures of the new Andre Boulay signature Yo-Yo Jam, the Legacy thanks to neX con.
The engraved mirror caps look pretty good on the Legacy. I assume both sides have alternate cap art which gives more evidence to the Legacy theme.
The big thing I like about this yo-yo is the shape. It’s a plastic Dark Magic. Its one of the most solid Yo-Yo Jam’s I’ve played with thanks to metal rings under the cap that are placed more in the middle of the shape. Finally a solid product that comes full circle. Although it still has those chintzy molded nuts.
