YoYo Drop – Yoyorecreation Seventh Heaven
Our latest release in The Summer of Titanium™ is yet another World YoYo Contest release from Yoyorecreation, the Seventh Heaven! This Sleipnir-inspired titanium yoyo is a full-sized competition-ready yoyo and Yoyorecreation owner Kengo Kido believes it to be a culmination of everything he has learned in his seven years of running Yoyorecreation.
This beauty will set you back ¥77777 (of course), which is about $625 USD. Available first at the World YoYo Contest!
The Summer of Titanium™ has played out well beyond the possible dreams of any yoyo player or collector. For those of you who haven’t been keeping track, we’ve had the YoYoFactory Dream, Luftverk Evora, One Drop Citizen, iYoYo TIger, Something Anglam TISS, Something Anglam Zero, and now the Yoyorecreation Seventh Heaven.
This is madness. Glorious, sparking on concrete, madness.
YoYoFactory Presents: Shu Takada LED 1080
YoYoFactory is releasing their much-loved looping yoyos, the Loop 1080, with LED lights! The Loop 1080 is easily one of the most advanced and most used looping yoyos on the market, and now we get it with lights? Hell yeah!
The YoYoFactory LED 1080 is releasing first at the 2015 World YoYo Contest, and at retailers soon afterwards.
YoYo Drop – Something Anglam TISS
The Summer of Titanium™ just keeps on rolling with this new release, the Anglam TISS by Something! A full titanium body with stainless steel weight rings means we are talking about a yoyo with absolutely insane weight distribution and what is likely to be a crazy high price point. We don’t have any specs or pricing yet, but this new ultra-premium yoyo will be released at the 2015 World YoYo Contest this weekend at the Something booth.
Fathur Adli Fauzi – Syrup

YoYo Drop – Yoyorecreation Valkyrie
The hits just keep on coming from Yoyorecreation with their World YoYo Contest releases!
Next up we have a brand new bi-metal yoyo, the Yoyorecreation Valkyrie! Designed with input from Yoyorecreation team member Piotrek Smietana, the Yoyorecreation Valkyrie is a design from the people who brought you the Draupnir, which has become the gold standard for bi-metal yoyos. We don’t have specs yet, but while the shape and profile appear to be incredible similar to the Draupnir, the weight and weight distribution have apparently been changed to make this a more “accessible” feeling bi-metal for a wider range of competition players.
Expected retail is ¥25800 (about $207 USD), and the Valkyrie will be available first at the 2015 World YoYo Contest.

Shu Takada has big plans in the works for this years World YoYo Contest and he’s definitely a top contender for the 2A Division, and one of the players that everyone will be watching. So does he really need a hype video right before Worlds? Probably not.

YoYoRecreation Announces “FAY”, Entry Level YoYo
Yoyorecreation has announced another new release for the 2015 World YoYo Contest…a new entry-level plastic yoyo called the FAY!
Retailing for just ¥1980 (about $16 USD), the FAY appears to come stock with a half-spec bearing for responsive play, and can easily be fitted with a full-width bearing for unresponsive play. The shape looks great for beginners or advanced players, and at this price point the FAY could be a huge hit for Yoyorecreation! This is also the first Yoyorecreation yoyo to use side caps (yay, side caps!) and they are actually designed to be easily removable. Perfect for customizers!
