Birth Certificate

Birth Certificate

This week has been a bit of a roller coaster. When talking to the print shop, it looked like custom print sizing was going to take even longer to resolve. Unfortunately the quoted date of Monday was a bit optimistic. Each day is just waiting for the final piece. Last I talked to the shop, they said it would likely get done by today. So fingers crossed. With that said, it doesn't mean there isn't work being done. I recently got the certificates done which look spectacular. Each one has been cut by hand - and only signed after testing the yoyo. This ensures a better quality control for each shipment.
Trying to streamline how everything will pan out has been a bit of a challenge. I try to look ahead to see what can be done to cut down time. Uline has been my shipping box provider for years. The stack of boxes is on standby - when everything is ready they will be out the door very quickly. 
Once I start shipping, you'll hear about it. Its been a continuous week of anxiety waiting to finish things up and get the yoyos to everyone. Believe me when I say Im just as excited to get these out as you guys are to receive them. When I got of the phone with the shop last, they said tonight. Fingers crossed and back to work!

Plastic 000 & Fulvia - 2024 Update
Plastic 000 & Fulvia - 2024 Update

by Jeffrey Pang October 28, 2024

Crazy to think it has been 2 years since the original release of the Plastic Fulvia and Plastic 000. Both models as of now are pretty much sold out everywhere, and I knew it was about time to update both with a small batch of new colors as well as fix a few small issues with the first designs. I appreciate everyone who has reached out anticipating a restock of these - as the manufacturing process is very timely for sure so restocks can't happen as quick as I'd like.

In January, I released the AKURA MG, a yoyo made from Magnesium. This material has a very low density and I talked about how it performs more like a plastic than anything else. But what made that yoyo really special is the aesthetic. I loved the lines on that yoyo. The proportions with the chunky rims were just perfect. One of the biggest aesthetic challenges though were that after the ceramic coating the lines were quite subtle which hid the design.

Monometal 000 & Fulvia - Designs Rooted In History

Its wild to think that the Fulvia design is now 8 years old - originally released in 2016. This design was developed in titanium with the pursuit of rim weight and stability. So much has changed since then. 2024 was an interesting year with the challenges of moving to a new country while maintaining releases. Not many people realize but I often prototype yoyos for myself and they just never get released. Often they join the rotation of throws I have on the shelf, which never make it to production. The monometal 000 and Fulvia was exactly that - prototypes that I submited earlier this year that just never ended up making it to production.
