Duncan Toys Imperial Yo-Yo, Beginner Yo-Yo with String, Steel Axle and Plastic Body, Mystery Color

I bought this for a little boy that his parents couldn't afford. He was the only boy at church that didn't have one to play with. I gave it to him and the smile that came across his face was good for me

The mac-daddy of Duncan Yo-Yos! Put it on my desk at my office at work and people my age (early Generation X and older) are delighted to see it, pick it up, and play with it. Younger people mostly don't notice it......the good old days of simple toys are apparently lost on Millennials.......

This brings back memories from a teenager, I used a Royal then, the competition but this one works great. I was surprised how fast it comes back.

This is a classic Duncan yo-yo with a spinner. In retrospect, after buying, I’m not so sure that a to-yo with a spinner is the best for a beginner. It is not responsive every time without some understanding of how to use a yo-yo. It’s a good yo-yo but comes with a learning curve for young users around 8 or so.

Lots of fun teaching my Granddaughter how to use a yoyo. It has a nice finish to it. Does what it's supposed to do and is a nice option at a good price for a beginner. Bought another myself :)

This was my first yoyo decades ago and I could do so many tricks. I bought one for my kid to try and it won't spin at all. Just bounces right back up. Shame. Ended up having to buy another yoyo for tricks. This is now truly a beginner yoyo - just up and down. For the price not worth it. You can buy an up and down yo yo at the dollar store.

this yoyo is a waste of money. I got two for my kids to replace a cheap birthday goody bag one and this one was worse. Don't waste your money on this. The string does not catch at the bottom and so it's impossible for a kid to make the yoyo climb back up the string. Disappointing.

Good
