Following up the Plastic Fulvia the Plastic 000 continues to bring a taste of what Luftverk is all about at a more affordable price. The Plastic Triple Zero is also an “Injection Machined” yoyo which is a technique that achieves that classic YoYoJam feel but with the quality of a premium machined aluminum yoyo. It is first injection molded into a large plastic blank then the profile is completely CNC machined.
Just like the the Plastic Fulvia this design takes inspiration from a previous Luftverk design. This particular version is based on the original titanium Triple Zero released in 2018. If you are a fan of Organic yo-yos this is the one for you!

Dressel Design's flagship monometal for 2023! Shortly after the release of the assassin they started thinking of what a more normal sized assassin would look like. They knew 7075 would be the way to go to retain some of that indestructibility that you would get with stainless steel. Dressel also knew they wanted it to be slightly wider and smaller while still sitting firmly in the full sized category.

To achieve the play that they wanted they went with a new style of cup/hub design for them to attain a more even distribution similar to steel. The results? A yoyo that has a fun pacing and feel while also controllable and performance focused.

Pheasant 2023 is a yoyo inspired by the Japanese players. We interviewed alot of players in Japan and designed accordingly. This yoyo maximizes the ease of use and control in contest situations.

It features extreme weight distribution, lightweight for maneuverability, stability and large gap width for multiple string layering. Giving player the most confidence in high stress combo and in contests.

YoYoFriends has named the Pheasant Monometal their first flagship monometal. Based on the Pheasant 2023, they tweaked the shape by adding more stages and weight to create flow and a splash of fun on top of pure performance.
This has resulted in a yoyo that can not only perform well in contests but also a great yoyo for everyday use. They truly think this design is a standout for their monometal offerings and are proud to call their new flagship model.

The Freebird Trilogy: Duncan Toys x Beyond YoYos have licensed the Freebird design, and were fortunate enough to work with Hank to resurrect his signature yo-yo and transform it into metal. And not just one design, but three amazing models!


The Freebird OG is the closest to the older Freebird but features improved weight distribution and playability for competition while retaining the same body shape. Hank prefers his 3A yo-yos that are also good for 1A since many of his tricks incorporate 1A elements.


Freebird 2 (Step Cap) Freebird 3 (Flat Cap)

The Freebird 2 & 3 are more modern in terms of playability and fit well with today's yo-yo scene. Over the years, Hank's tricks have evolved, requiring a lot of directional changes, so he's particular about the yo-yo's spin time and weight distribution and the 2 and 3 give something for everyone with unique look and play.

It has never been a better time to find something fun and new!
