It’s been brought to the attention of the guys at Madhouse that some of the Unknown’s currently in stock at YoYoNation.com suffer from an inconsistent or “bubbly’ silicone application.

Being the awesome guys they are, Madhouse have decided to give out a free t-shirt to anyone who purchases an UnKnown from this run. All you have to do is send them a copy of your receipt and a picture as proof of purchase. Awesome!

Check out This Topic for full details.
