Quick synopsis:
Yo-Yo players submitted their own yo-yo ideas to One Drop Yo-Yos and the community voting together ended up choosing one person’s design! They worked with the winner and guided them through the prototyping process and came up with the absolutely amazing Code 2.
The winning design was from our very own YoYoExpert forum member and moderator Jason (Jrod / jrodriguez) and since its release it clearly became one of OneDrop’s true flagship models for both competition and all around playability. We contacted Jason more then a year ago about creating a special edition Code 2 and here is the result! The idea was to create something in honor of his creation and who he is. Jason quickly replied with an amazing idea. What better way to honor Jason than with a Jason and the ARGONAUTS theme!?
From there with help from the amazing yo-yo player and artist Paul Escolar we breathed life into Jason’s idea and the Argonaut Code 2 is born!
Available in two varieties and each comes with a sticker signed by JRod himself:
Red/Pink Acid Wash and Purple/Pink Acid Wash. Jason’s own color choices. Features a custom Argonaut Side Effect AND custom Argonaut engraving on the yo-yo itself! See the pictures.
Black/Silver Acid Wash and Red/Yellow Acid Wash. These feature just the Argonaut Side Effect but with standard Code 2 engraving on the yo-yo itself.
The design of the yo-yo itself is the same - two options:
Red/Pink Acid Wash and Purple/Pink Acid Wash. $135. Jason’s own color choices. Features a custom Argonaut Side Effect AND custom Argonaut engraving on the yo-yo itself! See the pictures.
Black/Silver Acid Wash and Red/Yellow Acid Wash. $125. These feature just the Argonaut Side Effect but with standard Code 2 engraving on the yo-yo itself.
ooh i think i want to pick one of these up just cause i think my Latin teacher will like the artwork on it ;D that and like the coloring on it especially with the one on the purple on it looks amazing. now i want one. maybe Christmas?
Siiiiiiiiiiiiick. That pink and purple is absolutely killing it. I like my Code 2 with spikes, but you can’t really argue with how bad___ those discs look.
i know i want this instead for Christmas instead of all thew other yoyos i want cause this looks amazing i absolutely love the roman style artwork on the side effects!
I want this Yoyo soooo bad but I really don’t have the cash! I love the look of it’s shape and color plus the artwork I have a feeling this Yoyo was made for me!
I can’t believe I’ve never owned a Code 2. I’m a huge history nerd and these yoyos are definitely trying to push my dorky impulse buy button…but I’m not sure they can beat the AL 7 Quake.
In addition to being a history nerd I’m also enough of an art history nerd to look at the side caps and think to myself “I’ve heard of red-figure and black-figure pottery, but never white-figure”.
