Gambit:
I also think it was a victim of a lack of colourways. The original Cyborg was a simply fantastic yoyo, easily one of YYF’s best ever IMO, so when I heard there was going to be a cheaper, 7075 version, I practically had a pulmonary.
However, when it was released the colourways available just didn’t really do it for me. I know 7075 is a nightmare to anodise, but if they had released a decent looking splash or even a few other solids, I would have picked one up in a second. Not everyone is as fussy with colours as I am, but that was at least my reason for not purchasing one.
Personally, I hope that there are Cyborg 2’s in the boxes so that they finally get the appreciation they deserve in the hands of a wide audience. I’ve heard other people as well as yourself say that it’s ‘better than the original’… and if that’s the case then it must be a masterpiece.
I agree about the colorways as well, but think they may have made other colors in a second run, if it wasn’t for other circumstances mentioned above. I think it’s a shame that it didn’t live out it’s full potential. Let’s hope you have one in your box.
