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!

The 2006 Yomega Power Spin Yo-Top was touted as "Two toys in one: It's a yo-yo... It's a top!! Easy play, fast spins." The yo-yo itself was shaped similarly to the Active People [YO]² Delta model.
The packaging for this green and blue yo-yo is one of the most innovative and interesting that I have ever seen. It's both functional and visually engaging. The yo-yo is prominently displayed in the center of the clear, round (round, like a yo-yo) plastic casing. But what makes this packaging so unique is the ability for you to rotate the yo-yo within the case, giving you a 360-degree view of both its front and back, all without opening it. This unique, rotating feature added a wonderful, interactive element to the packaging. (Notice that even the packaging was copyrighted!)
The toy came with an extra cotton string, an extra bonus spin top, a spin starter tool, and a paper yo-yo trick booklet (looks like a CD) that illustrated 30 basic tricks. An interesting, short-lived toy design from Yomega that is hard to find now.
Yomega has released combination yo-yo and spin top toys in various iterations since the early 1990s. Some of these iterations include the following:
• Gemini Gyro, version 1
• Gemini Gyro, version 2
• Gemini Gyro, version 3
The Power Spin name has also been in use by Yomega since the early to mid 1990s:
• Power Spin, 1997
• Power Spin, 2010
• Hyper Impulse, 1998 | |
