a message from Had :


"YES!

Everyone, i have been back to France, it was difficult for me to leave China and now i m back to school for my final year of studies.

Managing the Blood Brothers was a bit difficult due to the distance, but i m really excited tonight to post once again! As the first of the Brother is now ready and packed.

The final specs are
54mm diameter
40.4mm wide
4.7mm gap
65/66gr weight

yyf/yyj large size bearing.

The packaging chosen is the brown one, and just as a reminder!

6 colors, 2 coatings (anodized and beadblasted/anodized) for 12 different artworks, that gives us 144 combination.

Which is the exact amount of yoyo that will be produced. That's right, each yoyo is different!

Also i won't start any new brand, i just want to make this project, the first yoyo is good to create tricks, as it is very stable, and have an incredible amount of spintime. Plus 40.4mm wide is not that wide, that will teach you how to aim with more precision!

And NOW FOR EVEN MORE EXCITING NEWS! The first pictures of the Brother 2. Let me remind you that the Brother 2 is made for contest, same diameter, wider, faster, I added 2mm of "string catching zone", the final 43.3mm wide and a nice weight of 65gr.

Now i will give a little more information about the 3rd brother soon, but you can already see his little face on the picture of the blood brother 1 's packaging!

For any info, feel free to contact me at h.bennaceur@live.fr

cheers

[stephosh]

Glad I didn't miss the release on these!

Do you have an drop date yet?

He told me mid December about Christmas time

more infos about the blood brother 1!

why do you play with the brother 1?
-the brother 1 is 40mm wide, it gives you a great yoyo to learn tricks, and to aim. also it is stable and spins for a very long time

which coating is better? Anodized or beadblasted/anodized?
-depends on what you like, grinds, or to have a shiny yoyo. I prefer the shiny yoyo

what kind of bearing is it?
-it comes with a flat steel chrome bearing. it s lubricated so you will want to clean it first to enjoy that bearing (i wanted ANY player to be able to make the yoyo come back up, so i put a lubricated bearing) also be aware that the chrome steel bearing can oxidized faster than regular bearing.

how much will it cost?
-i tried to keep the price as low as possible. Although i didn't recommend any price to retailer, i trust them to put a very reasonable price (50$ range yoyo is what i m hoping for)

aluminium? 6061, very durable, good scratch resistant

smooth? smooth during the game, but you can find some vibe with the nail test. as i had to teach the factories, some mistakes where made during the elaboration of the brother 1. mistakes that haven't been made for brother 2 and surely won't be made for brother 3.

any other question, feel free to ask!for the list of retailers, they are listed on my facebook profile! and will be updated this weekend!

[moefv]

Can you post what website it will sell at? On here on the thread

[stephosh]

How do I find your facebook profile?

I think I found you, but no info on any yo yo's.

[hadriabolo]

i don't know if i am allowed to post the list of retailers here

[hadriabolo]

by the way, the 50$ range yoyo is highly hypothetical. i tried to keep the wholesale price as low as possible, in order to keep the retail price as low as possible as well! but i m in NO position to announce a retailer price

[moefv]

i don't know if i am allowed to post the list of retailers here

Can you PM me the list of websites please I really want to know and want one!

[NathanC]

Any US sites selling these? I see a popular Japanese site is, but the exchange rate makes it not the best deal.

most of the Brothers have been dispatched before Christmas to different retailers.

so far there are 3 in Europe, 1 in the US and 1 in Japan. It has been released in Japan, also a special edition has been made for the spanish yoyo association. only 25 red for our spanish friends, they sold out in no time! which is very encouraging.

again you can find the list of retailers on my facebook page.
