A Duncan FreeHand Zero from 2004-2005 with white body, and red side caps with a white imprint of Genuine Duncan Yo-Yo and the head of the Duncan Yo-Yo Boy. The yo-yo commemorated the 75th anniversary of Duncan Yo-Yo which began in 1929.
As with all special edition Duncan Freehand Zeros from this time period, the yo-yo itself was exactly the same. The only difference between editions was the body color, side cap color, and imprint. Essentially, if you were collecting these editions, you were just collecting colors and side caps. Yomega used this clever sales gimmick (same yo-yo, different side caps and colors) to the hilt with their workhorse models Raider and Fireball in the late 1990s and early 20 aughts.
After a Freehand Zero package was opened, you could easily swap bodies and side caps from other Freehand Zeros to create new variations, visually. For that reason, these special editions are best collected in their original, unopened packaging, along with their three string counterweights.
This white and red FreeHand Zero edition was sold exclusively from Duncan's online store in 2005.
Original retail price: $25 US.
