YoYoFactory – Titanium Ricochet & New Packaging

March 7, 2013 By Steve Brown

There’s been a lot of talk about new products from YoYoFactory since the international toy fairs in New York, Nuremburg, and Hong Kong, and we’ve finally gotten hard information on everything!

New Packaging for 2013

2013 YoYoFactory Packaging

The One, WHiP, OneStar, Velocity, F.A.S.T. 201, and Loop 360 all have brand-new, beginner-centric packaging. Slip knots come pre-tied and ready for a new player, and the packaging is a noticeable departure from the look of most yoyo cards. Designed by John Huber, the new packaging looks great and once again raises the bar for industry packaging design.

Ricochet – Titanium YoYo

YoYoFactory Ricochet Titanium

The Ricochet is YoYoFactory’s first 100% titanium yoyo. Only 60% more dense than aluminum but more than 200% stronger, titanium is an expensive but excellent way to make sure you end up with a throw that will last you the rest of your life. The Ricochet will retail for between $200 – $230, and will be available from YoYoExpert and other yoyo specialty retailers. The coolest feature is the packaging…expect to see more YoYoFactory models available in these new plastic boxes, which serve as display boxes (with wall-mounting capabilities) that even lock together…so as you collect more yoyos, you build your own display case for them. Neat!

Official worldwide release date for the Ricochet is Sunday, March 17th, and each one comes with a limited edition translucent blue version of their popular multitool.

Langley Did It - European YoYo Documentary

“Langley Did It” is an enigmatically-named new documentary about the European yoyo scene that is due to be released at the end of 2013. From their website:

A group of devotees with only one true passion, this is the European yoyo scene. All across Europe hundreds of people have something in common; a boundless enthusiasm for a thing on a string.

Who are these people, what drives them, and what makes the European yoyo scene unique?

Langley Did It is an exploration of the hidden world of European yoyo. This documentary provides insights into the scene, its appeal, to what sets it apart and what makes it binding.

The yoyo players themselves explain why they are part of this European scene. A group of people spread across the continent all sharing one passion. Who and where are they? What are they doing and most importantly, why?

 Langley Did It, takes you into the hidden world of the European yo-yo underground.
