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 Bandai Professional - Hyper Yo-Yo - 1st anniversary Exhibit #2423 Type Event Shape Standard (-) Axle Fixed Packaging Bubble Carded Construction Multi-piece plastic Response Starburst Diameter 58 mm Gap Fixed Weight 50 gm Condition Mint in Package Date 1998 Owner Rick Brough Compare A special release of the Bandai Hyper Yo-Yo marking the one year anniversary of the start of "Yo-Yo Day" in Japan. When the yo-yo boom began in Japan in 1997, Bandai held many yo-yo-related events on Yo-Yo Day which they marked as April 4. This date was chosen because "four" in Japanese is pronounced yon (YOH-n); the fourth day of the fourth month can be thought of as yon-yon, which sounds similar to yo-yo. This model of yo-yo was imprinted with the date "4 April 1998" which is unusual in itself. Its shape is similar to the Duncan Professional.
