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 Chinese-made, "pro-level" Fast Eddy Looper was a plastic bulge-faced yo-yo with a wooden axle, all in a similar vein to the more popular and better made Jack Russell Coke yo-yos. The yo-yo was made by Papa's Toys Company Limited of Toronto, Ontario. Despite owning the "yo-yo" trademark in Canada, Papa's Toys of Toronto, ON has never been known to promote the advancement of yo-yo play. The company has no product development and, therefore, never releases any new, modern yo-yo designs. They do little (if anything at all) to promote yo-yoing in Canada through the sponsorship of players, teams, contests, or training. This brand is worth forgetting.
This yo-yo came with a CD of tips and tricks featuring three-time Guinness world record holder "Fast" Eddy McDonald from Canada. According to the packaging, the looping yo-yo is the "Greatest Performing YO-YO that exists!"
Original retail price: $10 US. | |
