Sponsors and Curators
The Museum of Yo-Yo History is a labor of love, and we would not be able to stay up-to-date with exhibits without the support of our sponsors and curators. Big thanks go to One Drop Design and Duncan for supplying us with their latest models, YoYoExpert for their help and support, and to Cody Orr, TotalArtist and YoYoBrothers™ for allowing us to use their collections!
If you're a manufacturer, or just a big collector and you want to help support the Museum drop me at line at chimera@yoyomuseum.com

A Duncan FreeHand Zero custom made exclusively for the yoyonation.com website and store. This model was unique for several reasons:
• It was one of the first to be produced with a completely different plastic compared to the standard opaque Freehand Zeros.
• Instead of including three different, completely random counterweights, this edition came with three yellow, color coordinated, counterweights that matched the color of the yo-yo body and side caps. This set made it very unique.
• And finally, it used two different side cap designs. Side A cap featured the yoyonation.com Join the Nation logo; side B cap was imprinted with YoYoNation's popular star design. These special editions usually had a custom side A cap, while the side B cap used the standard Duncan Freehand logo, not the star.
One set of extra spacers was also included.
This model was originally offered for sale as part of a group of four yoyonation.com branded Freehand Zeros that sold for $110 US -- a $10 discount from the original $120 US price. The group of four came in the following colors:
• Edge glow (seen in this exhibit)
• Enyo
• Glow in the dark, pink
• Ultra-sparkle teal
While the four models were supposed to be from 2007, the set was not released until mid 2008 due to delays by Duncan.
After a packaged Duncan Freehand Zero was opened you could easily swap bodies and side caps from other Freehand Zeros to create new variations. You could also make modifications to the body itself, altering how the yo-yo played. For these reasons, these special editions are best collected in their original, unopened packaging.
Original retail price: $30 US | |
