Doctor Popular Shawn Exploder
The Shawn Exploder is the signature throw of Shawn Garcia, and Shawn is the amazing photographer behind Yotoyimages on Instagram. Shawn takes amazing photos of yoyos, and really shows them as the design objects they truly are.
Shawn and Doctor Popular came up with a yoyo that looks amazing, and plays as good as it looks! The Shawn exploder is also made of 7075 aluminum, so it’s also a great everyday yoyo.
We’ve got the last few pieces in yellow! Each Shawn Exploder comes with a custom micro-fiber cloth, and an acrylic yo-yo stand!

From Doctor Popular:
”The Shawn Exploder is a signature yo-yo designed for Shawn Garcia, a fantastic photographer known for his photos of disassembled yo-yos floating in the air. The yo-yo was designed by Shawn with photography in mind. It is a v-shape wedge with stepped inner walls, which are great for picking up high contrast light in photos. These steps also help reduce string friction when the string rubs against them. In contrast to the rigid inner-walls, the cup of the yo-yo is a smooth bowl with no defining edges. This “organic” shape is great for fingerspins but also helps distribute the weight different than most other wedge yo-yos on the market. This is a competition style throw with a fun and floaty feel.
Each Shawn Exploder comes with an acrylic stand with art by Rob Armin and myself. It also comes with a microfiber lens cloth and a silkscreened pouch.
This is the first wedge shape I’ve ever released. It’s also the first 7075 aluminum and the first signature model I’ve released for another player. I’ve been such a fan of Shawn’s work since I first saw his Instagram account, so it’s a huge honor to work with him on this project.”
