New Stuff From Auldey, Aoda & More!

it seems that Auldey, Aoda and other bootlegging company haven't been mention much lately, and most probably thought they haven't been making anything new?
but those who follow will know they're still making yoyos, Auldey for one, is still working on the Blazing Teens 4 products.

I'll break down in brands since there's quite a few new yoyos that i would like to share. there's alot in fact, but I'll just pick a few to share, those that i think are worth mentioning, most of others are pretty normal ones, so here goes...

here are one Auldey yoyo from the Blazing Teens 4 series, the Star Fox.

remember Takuto talking about the real L4 that have the same wall system like Avant Garde? this one is very similar to that, just click on the link to visit the post about the real L4.

now some Aodas.

the Transformers.

the shape reminds me of a yoyo from RecRev. but whats interesting is the black color thing, there's no picture of how its being attached to the yoyo rims, i guess its got to be screwed to it.

Here's the Dream II, i don't see any Dream I though.

I would say, its a plastic Kamui. I would definitely want to try this.

and The Dance of Sand.

I'll compare it to a Duncan Freehand. somewhere between the Zero and 2s
i think this would be pretty nice, the shape seems okay, but a wee bit too narrow for my liking, but the rim seems to be metal, i think it'll be nice to play, along with the Duncan Freehand-ish caps. These are market as 5A yoyos too.

and here's some from 91yoyo, which I think refers to the forum itself.

here's the Knight.

Alright, this one definitely reminds me of a YYR Sleipnir, with Z-stacks.

yes. I don't know what else it'll remind you of, if not a YYR.

and here's the Yoyo Spirit.

so, I'm guessing most people will say its similar to YYR's Clashcube, or some other wide yoyos, maybe YYF Monster/SUPERwide, etc. But, it reminds me of a non wide yoyo. Then the shape would probably reminds most players of Protostar, ROCKstar, or any similar to that form of shape, but, it on first look, it reminds me of the YYF 401K, but being pull wider. I like the rim design, I'm not sure if it serve any purpose in weight ditribution or whatsoever, but it caught my attention, its something I would like to have in my collection.

Here's one more from QiXia.

the Night Elves.

I'm not sure about you guys, but this one reminds me of the Blazing Teens 3 Luminous, plastic version. look from the profile pic. but stackless though, i think thats a metal weight ring installed, propably not gonna play bad, seems like a fun yoyo. And I think the hub either glows in the dark or it lights up.

From the look of it all, I personally feel that most of them are gonna play pretty well, look at the spacers and stuff, its all improving from what they used to be. lets not talk about the bearing, they're probably still not stainless. but you can always install your own stainless steel bearing! and i really wouldn't say these are bootlegs, maybe an exception for the Dream II, the rest are pretty normal like most yoyos that have similar shapes.

SUPERwide | Miracle | Monster Compare shots

finally got the time to get these photos posted.

comparison between the Aoda Miracle, and its rebranded doppleganger YYF SUPERwide, and the refined version, YYF Monster. Some said the YYF SUPERwide plays nothing like the Aoda Miracle, and don't expect the Miracle to play as good as the SUPERwide. I played with both and personally feel they're of not much difference in terms of playability. but there is, however, some parts that are visually different if it affects your choice in buying any of these. so you can click to enlarge the image and get a better look.

below are:

SUPERwide | Miracle | MONSTER

MONSTER | Miracle | SUPERwide

the Monster is a everything refined from a Miracle/SUPERwide,
the bearing seat, the shape everything, so we'll leave that aside.

the main difference between the Miracle and a SUPERwide, i feel, would be the bearing seat itself. i won't say much, the pictures explains the best i guess.

so here are all the pictures i took, i hope they help you in any way possible.

YYF SUPERwide & Aoda Miracle different?

looking at this video of Chen Jia Lin freestyling, it reminds me of the speculation about whether the YYF SUPERwide plays the same as Aoda Miracle.
this is just what i think and guess, its seems like a SUPERwide/Miracle that Kuyos is using in the freestyle, but i think YYF haven't not come out with a yellow/gold SUPERwide yet, but what Kuyos have in his hand is a Red/Gold yoyo, SUPERwide is red, Miracle is gold, if they plays alot different, and will affect play that much, Kuyos probably wouldn't match them together, yea?

or maybe it affects but Kuyos does it anyway, he's good enough to handle them.

Aoda Immortal Star

here's some photos of the Aoda Immortal Star for those who are interested~

instruction on how to assemble it into a yoyo.

accessories and stuffs.

keychain mode.

take apart. to take apart you simply just turn the halves, and remoe the long axle, the axle thats used to assemble the yoyo is another one, a shorter one.

here's how you assemble it into a yoyo, just a rough idea...
you can choose to assemble it with the stacks that came with it, but its pretty common, so i only took pictures of the metal "stacks", which is part of the ball mode body...
just slot it in. its that easy.

take the crosshead screw that came with it, screw it into the hubstack post.

like this. yea, you actually will need a tool to do it when you're outside assembling it. tool not included.

and then you put on their KK bearing.

do the same for the other half's hubstack post, and screw the halves together, and here you go, a yoyo.

its pretty heavy, but you could use the stack kit if you want it lighter.

this yoyo reminds me of a few yoyos, the YYF 888 for one because of its shape and size and of course hubstacks, and the Hspin Pyro, because of the laser engravement and the side profile a little similar too... and of course, the Card from S.Kon, the idea is similar.

I'm wondering if YYF would rebrand this, it would be great, but its hard to refine considering Aoda's using the simpler way of getting things done when assembling it into a yoyo, they uses screws, the screw head is big enough to hold the hubstack bearing in place, while YYF uses th o-ring to hold the hubstack bearing in place... they probably can just switch to using o-ring if they rebrand it but i don't know if it'll affect anything, the long axle that hold the parts together when its in keychain mode may cause a problem, i'm guessing.
