The April 4, 2024 release of sixty-six percent's (66%) Starburst mini looping yo-yo model in "stealth black" anodized body, with "stealth black" side caps printed with "Starburst". When this model was released it was available exclusively from the SpinGear website of Japan.

From spingear-jp:
"66percent's first new model (10th in the 66% series) in a while. Introducing the first looping yo-yo.

The string is extremely thin to ensure looping performance at 66 size. Please purchase consumables here as the strings and pads are of a special size.

It is designed to make it impossible to draw a comfortable loop trajectory with strings of normal thickness.

66% increase in STEP1, the entry model of Spin Gear.

The logo printing is also reproduced on the metal cap. Check out the blog article for more details!

About cap replacement
The cap itself is threaded and can be tightened lightly with a Torx wrench (T8) to secure it to the main body.

If there are color variations or different caps in the future, you can enjoy the combination by exchanging them."
