TMBR x SPYY “Eh” coming to YoYoExpert
As seen on Ed Haponiks blog, the long desired SPYY Eh has become a production reality thanks to the skilled hands of TMBR Toys. That logo in the center tells me that YoYoExpert will be getting the first run.
TMBR x SPYY???????
So you know that yo-yo that Spyy made for Ed Haponik? The Eh?
Well we all know about TMBR toys and the incredible work Colin is doing. Looks like there may be something in the works with TMBR and SPYY.
From TMBR’s Facebook:
Assembly in progress, laser soon.
Combined it with this one
Off to Canada.
and I think we are seeing the Spyy Eh, made by TMBR, hopefully ready for release in the near future! No word if they come with a Levi tuxedo and a gallon of maple syrup.
Spyy El Ranchero Revealed!
I saw this floating around and it was also emailed to me (Thanks “S”). It is the previously unseen Spyy El Ranchero. When I reached out to Steve, he emailed this to me also!
The Pistolero inspired hub is killer. I bet this plays all sorts of dreamy.

SPYY Spyder 2
The Spyder 2 by SPYY has finally been unveiled. From SPYY.ca:
We’re back from a long break in yoyo production and are excited to tell you of our first release for 2012, the new (and highly anticipated) Spyder 2! This yoyo is an all new and modernized version of the popular Spyder, which was originally released at the 2009 World Yo-Yo Contest. We decided to reintroduce this undersized yoyo after many requests from loyal SPYY fans.
The new version maintains it’s distinctive wide profile shape that makes the Spyder so fun, but also includes many improvements to suit today’s style of play, plus one extra and unique feature… a DUAL THUMB GRIND LIP! Now players can hone their grinding skills with this yoyo’s awesome profile and fun dual lip!
SPYY Wooden “Eh”
This has to be the fabled wooden yo-yo SPYY is making for Ed.
these are not for sale. they are not being produced. making this kind of fixed axle yo-yo is time consuming and not cost-effective. i have a spare and steve has one of his own, but beyond that, there are no plans to revisit this on any kind of scale. my apologies if you were hoping they’d be on yoyoexpert for $19.99 or something.
So I am sharing this for the “eh” of it. SPYY has no intention to release it, I just think it is cool.
365 YoYo Tricks is Expanding the Team
As you all should hopefully know by now, the legendary Steve Brown has been guiding us through an entire year, offering us a new trick every single day. I’m sure I’m not alone here, but I look forward to seeing the new video Steve has uploaded for the day. Well, Unkle Steve’s almost done for this year, and he’s announced he’s adding some people to the 365 yoyo tricks team to help him out on this tremendous project for next year.
Here’s what he has to say in his own words.
I started this project in January 2011 as a personal challenge: could I keep up with filming and posting an original trick every day for a year?
Three hundred and forty nine days later the project has not missed a single day and I was awarded the Trick Innovator of the Year award by the National Yo-Yo Museum and Contest for my work on the site. How could I top that? Answer: More players!
Representing YoYo Factory will be David Ung and Steve Brown himself. Representing Duncan will be Drew Tetz. And representing SPYY will be Ed Haponik, Nate Sutter, and… oh, Sebastian Brock. You read that right, Sebastian Brock is now on team SPYY. Cool.
This is one killer team!
Spyy Spyder II spotted in the wild
Saw this on Todoyoyo.com

Nate Sutter – Revenger
Spyy just announced they have added Nate Sutter to the SPYY team.
Ed Haponik vows 2012 is Fixed – Video Update
Ed Haponik knows his wood yoyos. On his blog, he gives away his plan for the the 2012 year. His plan is:
no bearings for a year, no metal for a year, no unresponsive for a year
Why is this news? Well #1, Ed is arguably the most talented fixed axle player currently yoyoing. and #2 Ed is arguably the most talented fixed axle player currently yoyoing.
With so many incredible yoyos out on the market and planned to be released, this is an awesome and frightening goal. Ed, my hat off to you. One yo-yo for an entire year, and that yo-yo being a wood fixed axle. Incredible.
You can read the full blog post on Ed’s Blog and keep and eye on SPYY’s website. They may release the info for the wood yo-yo Ed will be using. At this time it is unknown if it will be sold publicly.
For those that don’t know Ed or where he is coming from, this is a great video to put it in perspective

Spyy Punchline Repeater
From the Spyy Blog
Guy has been a great asset to the SPYY team and a big influence to yoyoers around the globe. His ultra hip moves are unique and easily recognizable as “Guy Wright” by his unconventional refinement of the Repeater style. The second version of the the Punch Line is called the “Repeater” after these trademark tricks.
This new yoyo has been an experiment in weight distribution. Guy requested a more rim weight, so we added 1 gram of mass and centralized some of the existing material for a more deliberate, yet stable feel.
Punch Line! Repeater Specifications:
Weight: 67.5 grams
Diameter: 52.5mm
Width: 43mm
Gap Width: 4mm
Bearing: Large “C”, stainless, dry
Response: Recessed Central Bearing Company slim pads (accepts flowable silicone)
Finish: Bead blasted and anodized
Colors: Red with silver splash and black with green or yellow acid wash.
Woah! This looks great! I never got around to getting a Punchline but this one, the specs just call out to me.
