Bandai's "HyperCluster DX Customize Set" released July 21, 2012.
The entire HyperCluster series of yo-yos and yo-yo components was quite large. To help you keep it all organized, Bandai released a special edition case for yo-yo players. Besides the case, which held your extra yo-yo bodies, core axles, bearings, and string, it also came with a limited edition "HyperCluster MB2-S3 String Loop D FlashFenrir" in orange, and a limited edition "HyperCluster MB2-S3 String Loop H FlashFenrir" yo-yo body in blue. Both the yo-yo and the yo-yo body were exclusive to the customizing case only.
The orange FlashFenrir used a size A ball bearing. The D-shaped body was designed for looping, meaning it had high insides and a narrow string gap. For the response system, the core used String-On-String (aka "SOS") combined with a starburst. The SOS system was originally developed by YoYoFactory for their Loop 720 yo-yo. Basically, it's a yo-yo string that is woven into the core face, next to the bearing. Unfortunately, if the woven string wore out or became cut, it was next to impossible to re-weave the string. In such cases, you would have to rely exclusively on the starburst response and probably use a thicker string.
If you wanted to change the looping yo-yo to a string trick yo-yo, you could easily swap out the orange D-shaped body halves and install the blue H-shaped body halves while still using the same core and bearing.
The HyperCluster series took the ease of yo-yo customization to a whole new level. The box showed you other configurations you could build using compatible core parts and bearings from other HyperCluster-series yo-yos.
Like all the yo-yos in this line, you could use any of them to earn your Hyper Yo-Yo certification from an authorized Bandai Yo-Yo dealer.
Came with one storage case, one complete yo-yo, and one body halve set.
Original retail price: $80 US. | |
