A ball bearing yo-yo with a lenticular action pog in one of the halves of Julius Szakolczai doing Rock the Baby. The Vid-E-Yo specs are the same as the Turbo Bumble Bee.

Came in opaque crayon colors with the World Team Pro-Yo Logo on one side. The other side featured a Playmaxx demonstrator (such as "Julius" in this exhibit) performing a single trick on special lenticular side caps. Just tip the yo-yo back and forth to watch them play. As with the Bee, this version used patented BPT (Brake Pad Technology) and a ball bearing axle. It also came with replaceable axles ... fixed brass, fixed wood, and brass transaxle to swap out the ball bearing axle. Extra Bee strings were also included. This yo yo came in ten designs and eight different colors.

Notice the bee sticker on the sides of the packaging that sealed the box. There was inconsistency in how these stickers were applied to boxes, from product to product. Some boxes had a sticker applied to both sides, while some had just one sticker applied to one side. There are other boxes that had no stickers at all.

As of October 2015, the Vid-E-Yo was still readily available from numerous websites.
