Duncan Toys Imperial Yo-Yo, Beginner Yo-Yo with String, Steel Axle and Plastic Body, Blue

Best YoYo Reminds me of my childhood YoYo

Share the fun with your grandkids! Bought and taught!

Kid loved it! Works very well

So, my yoyo experience level is intermediate I would say, and I have had quite a few yoyos in my life. I have a $20 dollar yoyo that I absolutely love, but as a collector I can never have enough. So when I saw this Imperial for $3 shipped to my door, I threw all worries and bad reviews to the wind. I thought- could this yoyo really be THAT much worse than the one I had as a kid? Well the truth is- I don't remember haha. But for 3 bucks, what are we really complaining about here?? It was probably exactly that much "back in the day" so the fact that these are made in China now is not surprising. Costs rise. You want a better yoyo, then pay the $10+ and get a nicer one. This one though, in my opinion is just fine and has quickly become one of my favorites! Out of the box, it DID feel kind of jenky. But after about 20 throws it was pretty broken in and now feels as smooth as butter. Quality is so so, but again, figure in the cheapness. Mine had 2 pretty nasty plastic burrs on the side that I chipped off with my nail (as shown in the pic). Also, the gold screenprinting on the front is basically all worn off on mine in less than 24 hrs. I do however, have it in my hand constantly, plus I run hot, and generally kind of oily. It's extremely therapeutic for me though, and keeps me off my phone :) In short, it was 3 bucks, I enjoyed receiving a mystery color, and I favor this over some of my pricier yoyos. What more can I say? Edit 1 week later- I can longer recommend this yoyo. I was going to grab another one because it was so cheap and hope for a new color, but they're $10 now! I would recommend something better at that price point. $3, sure. Definitely not for $10. My yoyo is also completely blue now btw, with only shadowy reminents of once was screenprinted.

Just like I remember from when I was younger.

This was my first yoyo decades ago and I could do so many tricks. I bought one for my kid to try and it won't spin at all. Just bounces right back up. Shame. Ended up having to buy another yoyo for tricks. This is now truly a beginner yoyo - just up and down. For the price not worth it. You can buy an up and down yo yo at the dollar store.

I buy these for gifts all the time to bring a little nostalgia to my friends and family and to show my grand kids how to have fun that doesn't need a battery. You can't get more bang for your buck in fun with this toy. Everyone loves a yoyo and Duncan makes the best. This yoyo works well always. There are tons of great videos out there on tricks you can learn. You'll never get bored.

Awful, terrible doesn’t come up when you try to make it sleep made cheaply. Bought it for my grandson. He couldn’t even make it sleep properly or do other tricks Very Disappointing, I had one when I was a kid and they worked great!

Its a Yo yo.. When you wear the bearings out on your fidget spinner a Yo Yo is a great replacement. Brings back child hood memories of walking the dog and killing time just Yo-Yo-ing. Great Quality and great times.

Ho acquistato questo yoyo per mia figlia insieme ad altri......almeno a noi sembra molto difficoltoso riavvolgere il filo e le istruzioni sono poco comprensibili

Amazing product, Packing was proper,I'll recommend this product

Dies ist der Klassiker von Duncan, früher "Duncan special". SEit den 80ern bei mir im Einsatz. Schön schwer, glatt und rund. Leider hält die Schnur nicht, was sie sollte und reisst schon am dritten Tag. Also gleich (stabile) Ersatzstrings dazu bestellen...

Great quality but Amazon needs to present it with greater clarity because it looks like a pack of 5, don’t do that. Show one and just colour options.
