Luchador History

The Luchador was Throw Down’s first release, releasing in February 2007. The Luchador had 3 runs of about 324 yoyos total (100 first production, 24 polished, 200 second production). The first run the grey side is darker with the Luchador cup engraving only on the grey half. The second release was a raw polished edition, with only 24 produced. On the second batch, the grey half is lighter and the Luchador engraving in the cup in on the grey and blue half and the logos on the outside of the yoyo are a bit larger. The Luchador was an extreme shape for the time, it even included a disclaimer absolving the maker from any injury or death incurred from its use. There were 5 prototypes made originally, which were slightly heavier at 67g.
