This is a special edition, a collaboration between Noyo and Recess International. The artwork was based upon the Japanese Maneki-neko charm. The name is a hybrid of the terms made to include "yoyo". Pink glitter is the second version. A first more limited blue glitter version was released at the 2017 World Contest.
The First Base by Recess International is one of my favorites. Released in 2015, its a great player and the definition of pure fun. Wide range of colors and logos too. Better yet, it comes responsive with a narrow C bearing, but with a wider center trac bearing as well if you refer dead play. A responsive player can play it straight out of the box with no modifications. Like in the good old days.
This version of the First Base is was a part of the "Fruit Series", the first run. There were 5 models in each series in bright, fun colors and unique logos. Each color and fruit was also a Signature models for one of the players for Recess International.
