Sponsors and Curators The Museum of Yo-Yo History is a labor of love, and we would not be able to stay up-to-date with exhibits without the support of our sponsors and curators. Big thanks go to One Drop Design and Duncan for supplying us with their latest models, YoYoExpert for their help and support, and to Cody Orr, TotalArtist and YoYoBrothers™ for allowing us to use their collections! If you're a manufacturer, or just a big collector and you want to help support the Museum drop me at line at chimera@yoyomuseum.com Yo-Bonic Ben the Dog - Sleeping Exhibit #1746 Type Production Shape H Shape Axle Fixed Finish Unfinished Color Red Packaging Carded Construction Multi-piece plastic Response None Condition Mint Date 1998 Owner Rick Brough Compare Yo-Bonic's Ben the Dog - Sleeping fixed, brass axle yo-yo with the same profile as a YoYoFactory ProYo (translucent red rims). The artwork in both side caps was created by Sam Day. The yo-yo was "For walkin' yo dog." There were four different collector editions of "Ben the Dog" yo-yos in this series (one of four different Ben the Dog side cap designs and one of four different Ben the Dog comics on the back of the saddle card). Yo-Bonics touted that there would be four collector's editions per year but that never occurred. The Ben the Dog series was the first and last. Sam Day was also responsible for the artwork on the Yo-Bonic Presidential Blo-Yo of the United States yo-yo. Yo-Bonic was based out of Seattle, Washington. Maria Carilao, the president and "CE-Yo" of Yo-Bonic stills owns the yobonic domain name, despite the 404 website. Other Yo-Bonic models from this short-lived company include the following: • Ben the Dog • Big Daddy Yo • Go Granny Yo • Snow Bunny Yo • Yo Be Happy (like the Snow Bunny Yo) • Yo Froggie Yo (like the Go Granny Yo) • Yo Girl • Presidential Blo-Yo of the United States • Condimini Yo • Yo-Bonic Baby Girl (like the Snow Bunny Yo) • Yo-Bonic Baby Boy(like the Snow Bunny Yo) Click Yo-Bonic at the top of this exhibit to see them all.
