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!

Hard plastic body with a fixed steel axle, starburst response, and cotton string. This model is from the mid-1990s, about 1994. The Midnight Special has been out of production for more than 15 years (as of 2018).
