 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

The yo-yo boom in the USA, from approimately 1997 to 2001, saw the rise of yo-yo-related memorabilia, not just yo-yos exclusively. From figurines and Christmas ornaments to dolls and sculptures, trucks, drawings, posters, books and more, the wide variety of collectibles added to the unique story of the boom in North America.
In 2000, the "Life Is Filled with Ups and Downs" porcelain figurine was released by Enesco. It was designed by Priscilla and Glenn Hillman and licensed by Enesco. It depicts Calvin the Bear, befuddled with his yo-yo. Height is 3¾ inches.
Original retail price: $17.50 US.
