 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

Of all the Bees produced by Playmaxx, this is one of the most sought after versions. Killer Bees were only given away as prizes at Proyo yo-yo contests, and the majority were given away overseas in Asian countries.
In construction, it is just like a standard bee, but with special "Killer" sides, and in a unique red brick color. The owner of Playmaxx, Tom Van Dan Elzen, tried to match the red to an older original Pro-Yo molded by Don Duncan Jr. But the recipe had been long lost, and could not be matched. So to make these, old original Pro-Yos in red brick were gathered, ground up, and re-molded, to create the Killer Bee run. | |
