another two yoyos, from YYU, short for YoYo-UFO.
this one is called the Venus.

Dimension – Diameter 53mm x Width 42mm
Gap Width – 4.6 mm
Net Weight – 67.8 gram

and the Mercury.
Model – Mercury

also relatively cheap.
the Mercury reminds me of the Turning Point Positron or other Turning Point yoyos.
the Venus also reminds me of something, but I'm not sure what... could be something from RecRev i guess?

Canada's First-Ever Mercury/Magnesium yoyo?

"The Vancouver Yoyo Club is very proud to bring you THE MERCURY"
as copied from the YYN forum.

this yoyo is said to have mercury added to it during the marking process, which allows it to deform at a specific RPM. some said its fake, some provides video of it.
is this real? videos:
