Duncan Pulse yo-yo
The Duncan Pulse yo-yo is a color-changing lighted yo-yo unlike any other yo-yo. Two LEDs light up as the yo-yo spins, producing a whirling display of colors in the dark. The body of the yo-yo is a lightweight clear modified Imperial shape (very good for looping), with a high speed ball bearing axle, and friction stickers for perfect response. With its long spin times, this yo-yo is great for wrap style tricks. Uses two L1121 button cels (included, plus two extra batteries!) Small parts - not for children under 3 years.
Clear only.
$8 each

Duncan Metal Drifter yo-yo
The Duncan Metal Drifter is the next step in the evolution of the less expensive metal yo-yo. Incorporating the best features of the Metal Zero, the Drifter uses aircraft grade aluminum to achieve long, consistent spins. The diameter is slightly smaller, and the string gap is slightly wider than previous metal Duncans, which makes it popular for switching to unresponsive play. With a recessed sticker response and included counterweight for freehand tricks, the Metal Drifter is ideal for the intermediate to advanced player to move up to a metal yo-yo.
Orange, green, aqua blue or purple.
$25 each
Duncan FH Zero Lighted yo-yo
The Duncan FH Zero Lighted yo-yo takes the freehand yo-yo to a new level. Features include: ball bearing axle, friction sticker return system, wide adjustable gap with a take apart butterfly design, and polycarbonate body for durability. In the freehand style of yo-yo play, the string is not tied to your finger, but is attached to a small counterweight instead. This counterweight can then be thrown in the air, revolving with the string and yo-yo extended, allowing for many new ways to catch the counterweight or the middle of the string. Comes with lighted die counterweight (counterweight battery not replaceable).
Clear, fluorescent yellow or blue.
$27 each
Yo-yo string
Replacement yo-yo strings restore responsiveness as your string wears and gets dirty, and add some color to your yo-yo. For bearing yo-yos, a synthetic or 50/50 string is recommended for durability. For wooden sleeve yo-yos, a twisted cotton string is the best match.
Cotton: White or red.
Synthetic: Red, fluorescent pink, fluorescent orange, fluorescent lime green, aqua blue.

Kendama
The kendama is an addictive skill toy from Japan that presents limitless challenges to your dexterity. A kendama consists of a wooden ball with a hole, connected by a string to a handle. The ball can then be caught in any of three indented cups or on a peg at the top of the handle. Many imaginative tricks are possible, and an enclosed leaflet shows the basic tricks one needs to master to climb up the skill chart of the Japan Kendama Association. The kendama is an extension of the French version called bilboquet, and has been around in its present form for almost a hundred years. Once you pick it up, you won't want to put it down. Challenge your friends to see how far you can get!
