Plastic yo-yo combined with eight different electronic sounds and several multi-colored LED lights, all activated when the player threw a sleeper. Metal axle and starburst response. In the mid to late 90s, Imperial yo-yos were considered more novelty and fun for those with just a passing interest in yo-yo play.

Yo-yos with batteries are among the worst yo-yo collectibles, especially if the yo-yo is sealed inside the packaging. As batteries age, they often leak and corrode surrounding surfaces inside the yo-yo cavity. It is best to collect such yo-yos without any packaging so you can easily remove the batteries for storing the yo-yo long term.

Original retail price: $3 US.
