Museum of Yo-Yo History


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!

Sometime in 1998 or 1999 Spintastics removed "Terminator" from the pogs that adorned the sides of their yo-yos. The company lost the trademark to "Terminator". Vintage Spintastic yo-yo models and packaging that still has "Terminator" on it are quite collectable now.

The naming of Spintastics has been very inconsistent over the years. Some yo-yos had printed "Oliver's Toys", or "Spintastics", or "Spintastics Skill Toys, Inc.", or "Skill Toys, Inc.", or "Dale Oliver's".
