Direct from Japan. This yo was part of the Hyper Games Hyper Yo-Yo line from Bandai. It's a plastic sleeved transaxle take-apart yo-yo that can be upgraded to a ball-bearing system. The Hyper Dragoon Standard is a flat "wheel"-style imperial shape. It is made of translucent plastic. While not up-gradable to the Hyper Dragon series accessories, this yo-yo was great for customization (aka "mods").
