Museum of Yo-Yo History


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! If you're a manufacturer, or just a big collector and you want to help support the Museum drop me at line at chimera@yoyomuseum.com

Essentially, a plastic, fixed wooden axle Duncan ProYo model with red body. The side cap features Speed Racer (also known as "Mach 5"), the protagonist in the anime series by the same name, pictured exclusively on the side cap. The "M" on his helmet stands for "Mach".

This yo-yo came out in 2008, but Duncan's 2008 toy catalog makes no mention of this obscure series.

Covered by US patent 5769686 for a "Yo-yo having an improved axle and insert retainer".
