CAESAR
Let the die be cast
Chris Allen, yeah, that Chris Allen, the dude behind yoyonews.com, joined the MonkeyfingeR team and made waves for years. He helped launch the Gelada 2, sure, but that was just the warm-up. Chris had a wild idea: let’s build a yo-yo made for pure competition. Not just another chill throw. No, this was deep end of the pool kinda stuff. And guess what? We jumped in headfirst.

Chris shot over a quick sketch from his phone. We’re using the term “sketch” loosely here, it looked more like ancient cave art than a design blueprint. But hey, greatness starts somewhere, right?
Back to the design software we went. Iteration after iteration. Tweak this, shift that. Weeks flew by. Chris reviewed the final mock up and gave the nod. It was a beast. We tossed around names, and for some reason, Caesar stuck. Powerful. Bold. Regal. Like a ruler of the throw world.
All hail the Caesar.
All hail the Caesar.
SIDEBAR: This ain’t for the casual crowd. The Caesar was built to slice and dice any trick you could throw at it. This thing spins like it’s powered by dark magic.
Specs? Oh, we’ve got specs. Diameter: 58mm. Width: 43.65mm. Weight: a hefty 69g. Gap: 4.35mm. We weren’t dabbling in the lightweight category anymore. Nope. MonkeyfingeR had officially become the heavy throw company. Most of our lineup hovered mid 60s, this beast was flirting with 70g.
Warning: Your throw hand may file a complaint.
Don’t judge a throw by its grams. Despite the number, the Caesar feels surprisingly agile. Nimble, even. Heavy on paper, smooth in the hand.
When it was go time, Chris led the release like a general. Blair jumped back into designing custom graphics and stickers. Cranky, our mascot, was now front and center, parked on a throne like he owned the joint. From here on out, Cranky became the face of MFD. Every throw. Every accessory. Every begleri. He’s there, and he’s not going anywhere.

Cranky didn’t just show up for the Caesar, he arrived. From custom graphics to sticker packs, he claimed the throne like he was born on it. And moving forward, if it’s MFD, it’s got a bit of Cranky’s attitude baked in.
CRANKY DIDN’T ASK FOR THE THRONE HE TOOK IT!
The release? Solid. Sure, some people passed, maybe scared off by the weight. But the real ones knew. This was something special. Chris had a vision, and it paid off big.
Then, silence. Caesar production stopped. The throw went dormant. But the community? They never stopped. So in 2022, we brought it back for the year end drop. Not a full on V2, but we trimmed it up just enough to drop it to that sweet 65g mark.

The Caesar sat in the vault for years. But fans wouldn’t let it go. DMs. Emails. Random comments at events. It was relentless. So we cracked the case, tuned the weight, and brought it back from the edge.
BACK FROM THE DEAD AND SPINNING BETTER THAN EVER
Now? They’re almost gone. Like, really gone. We’re talking extinction level here. By the end of 2025, you might be out of luck.
So if you get the chance to snag one… do it. Don’t hesitate. You won’t regret it. The Caesar isn’t just a throw, it’s a legend baking in aluminum in the MFD world.
