• The Sonic Satelite is one of the first duncan yo-yos like the imperial, but this one has a rounder shape and glows in the dark.
• The Butterfly is nearly as old as the Imperial, a fixed-axle plastic yo-yo in a butterfly silhouette. Available in many colors, the Butterfly is another "starter yo-yo" in the Duncan line.
• The BumbleBee is a plastic ball-bearing transaxle yo-yo with a modified silhouette. The Bumblebee has a take-apart construction and removable endcaps. This design was acquired when Duncan bought Playmaxx and it was originally sold as the Turbo Bumblebee.
• The Dragonfly is the same as the BumbleBee, but in a butterfly silhouette. Another Playmaxx design, it was originally sold under the name, Turbo Bumblebee GT.

Each half comes apart with a screwdriver for weight adjustment or end-cap replacement.

Primarily designed for string tricks, it has over-molded rubber edges for enhanced grip and a higher rim weight than yo-yos like the Freehand.

Limited quantities are manufactured each year. The FreeHand MG ships with an assortment of counterweights and friction stickers.
• *The Freehand 2 is a ball-bearing yo-yo for counterweight or regular play. It also runs on friction stickers but the stickers are recessed allowing for less responsive play.
