 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!

Cold Fusion GT was the new butterfly-shaped aluminum yo-yo from Playmaxx released in late 1998. It had the same high-tech features as the standard Cold Fusion: precision machined aluminum, advanced ball bearing axle system, weight distribution, patented brake pad technology, and two-tone anodized yellow and black finish. It came with a round manual, replacement brake pads, yellow/black strings, and 3 interchangeable fixed axles (1 brass & 2 wood).
The GT also came packaged in its metal containment cannister with one Cold Fusion pin, one World Team ProYo pin, and a gold ProYo yo-yo glove.
These yo-yos in the canister occasionally come up for auction, but in most instances they are missing one or more accessories. If you are interested in such a yo-yo on an auction site, use the reference image - "Complete contents" - in this exhibit to help you make an informed bid.
Originally, the GT was machined by Custom Yo-Yo of Gilbert, AZ, maker of the MAG series of yo-yos and others. See Custom Yo-Yos in this museum.
This yo-yo was also made in less-expensive plastic versions: Turbo Bumble Bee GT with a bearing and the economical Profire GT with a transaxle.
Original retail price: $135 US.
Yo-Yo used genuine ProYo replacement parts that included bee strings and cork brake pads. | |
