 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

The YoYoFactory Loop 720 - Mother 3 Friends edition with glow in the dark body, translucent green side caps, and a special polyester purple string. As of February 2024, this model was available only in Japan. Side A of the yo-yo features the characters Porky (left) introduced in Mother 3 and Ness (right) from Mother 2, characters in the Mother/Earthbound series of video games from Nintendo. Side B features the iconic Mother logo.
The "Ness Yo-Yo" is the weapon used by the character Ness in "Mother 2. In Mother 3, the yo-yo is a treasure that is kept in Porky's room as a "friends yo-yo." The yo-yo is an important prop in the Mother series.
The internal structure is orthodox and highly stable with [black] metal spacers and size K ball bearing axle. The width of the gap (groove) is fixed specifically for looping, so the yo-yo returns securely to your hand without any special oil adjustments or modifications. Yo-yo came in a transparent plastic case with the words "TO BE CONTINUED..." on it, so that it can be displayed on a regular basis.
Side of box packaging is the coffee break text:
Ness, you're good...
I'm kind of
jealous of you.
I'm no good.
But Hess
... it's okay.
Let's stay friends
forever.
The card insert inside the box has a nice design behind the yo-yo, evoking an image of the yo-yo resting inside Porky's room.
