The ninth product is the YoYoFactory's Legendary Hubstack yoyo, 888.
The 888 is a unique metal yo-yo with a hubstack in a rather small body, but it has become a best seller and a leading force in the spread of the full metal yo-yo.
Compared to the 888, which has undergone many minor changes and has many variants, the decision to create the 66% version was inevitable, and the production decision was smooth.We do not shrink just 66%,because it is too small,so we use 66 formula,set diameter to 38mm.(In our formluar,38mm is best performance still keep small looking).
The hub stack parts are the same as the original size. This gives it a deformed silhouette.
We put 3 size A bearings!
In addition, the hubstack section has the luxury of using A size bearings made by NSKMicro,main bearing is CT (Center Trac) bearing.
The body material is available in brass and stainless steel, and the weight varies with the coloring (coating).
The weight of the body varies depending on the coloring (coating).
Stainless Steel(Raw) : 64.3g
Brass(Raw) : 62.8g
Black / gold / pink / rhodium: 63.4 g
As standard, the hubstack is not installed. You can install the hubstack or the knob cover, depending on your preference.
It comes with two sets of hubstacks (one clear and one randomly colored set is included), two NSKMicro A-size bearings, an O-ring to secure the hubstack, and a knob cover.
Note: For Gold Dragon, laser mark is very hard to see.
For Vibration issue:We check 1 by 1 experienced player and find best matching.But small body with strong spin momentum, it has slight vibe, and we are not guarantee vibration when you put hub stacks.It may wobble, but so much fun, and still playable.Please do not strict check for vibration for this model.
888 is legend,and forever!"

The 888 has finally been added to the 66% family, and it’s one of the most important models for us at Yo-Yo Factory since the launch.
The 888 is one of the most cherished models that we at Yo-Yo Factory have wanted to make since the launch of the 66%, but we couldn’t afford to fail, and we didn’t want to make it in a situation where we didn’t trust the brand, so we’ve finally released our 9th model.
About Spec.
With a 66% reduction in size, the yo-yo is 33mm in diameter, which is “too small” for the yo-yo, and the concept of having both a miniature feel and the ease of use that would make you want to collect it at 2/3 the size of the 66% is not going to work. It was decided to produce the 38mm “66 Standard”.
In addition, we prepared different weights in 2g increments, and we chose the one that was most comfortable for us to use as the size of the product version.
About the materials
The monometal is made of stainless steel instead of aluminum, but this time we are using brass. The specific gravity of brass is heavier than stainless steel, but it is also difficult and costly to use “hard” stainless steel due to the machining around the hubstack, which requires fine and precise machining, so we decided to use brass instead of stainless steel. And soft and easy to cut brass as the basic material.
However, the feeling of solid stainless steel is also hard to throw away, so we have prepared two colors of silver series, one polished with rhodium plating on top of brass, and one solid stainless steel with hairline.
A new challenge
A "mechanism" called hubstack.
The size of the hubstack on a 66-standard yo-yo is quite small, and while there is a precedent of a big deal, it’s a step backwards in terms of ease of use.
By using the size of the existing hubstack, we’ve made it easier to use while still leveraging the heritage of the past and deforming and emphasizing one of the 888’s unique characteristics, the hubstack.
We also thought it would be interesting to have three size A bearings in series, given the name of the yo-yo with three numbers, 888.
888 as a collection
The 888 is a long-selling model that came in various limited editions and different shapes during the dawn of the yo-yo factory’s rise to prominence (though it’s still going strong).In 2019, an Indigogo campaign titled 888Forever, the titanium 888 was released in 2019 It is still fresh in my mind that the original was made. We know that there are many collectors all over the world, and it is difficult to satisfy everyone, no matter which color or logo you choose, but we have prepared as many variations as possible, and we have taken care to make it fun to display them alongside the originals.
We knew that it would be difficult to satisfy everyone even with any color or logo, but we prepared as many variations as possible and made sure that they would enjoy displaying them alongside the originals.
About the logo
There have been so many variations in the collection that collectors can’t keep up with the summary page (although it is said that most of the information is now available), but this time, except for the Dragon 888, we have adopted the basic logo instead of the limited edition.
Big8 logo
The design has three large 8’s in a row. The 8s were represented right in the middle by the hubstack, but the 88866 has a size A bearing and a smaller diameter, so the design would fall apart as a design without an adjustment to the logo size. I made it work as a design without the hubstack on it and kept the nostalgia of the Big 8.
The solid brass has the Big8 logo on one side only, the 18k plated [seen in this exhibit] has the Big8 logo on both sides.
About the weight
There are two body materials, brass and stainless steel, and the weight varies with the coloring (coating).
The detailed weight is as follows.
Stainless steel(Raw) : 64.3gm
Brass(Raw) : 62.8gm
Black / gold / pink / rhodium: 63.4 gm
As standard, the hubstack is not installed. You can install the hubstack or the knob cover, depending on your preference."
