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

I just wanted a Yo-yo... I bought the Yo-yo I like the Yo-yo it Yo's really great, and well it yo's pretty great also 10/10

Given as a gift, nice item

I bought this to go into a Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child shoebox for a boy. Fits well.

So, my yoyo experience level is intermediate I would say, and I have had quite a few yoyos in my life. I have a $20 dollar yoyo that I absolutely love, but as a collector I can never have enough. So when I saw this Imperial for $3 shipped to my door, I threw all worries and bad reviews to the wind. I thought- could this yoyo really be THAT much worse than the one I had as a kid? Well the truth is- I don't remember haha. But for 3 bucks, what are we really complaining about here?? It was probably exactly that much "back in the day" so the fact that these are made in China now is not surprising. Costs rise. You want a better yoyo, then pay the $10+ and get a nicer one. This one though, in my opinion is just fine and has quickly become one of my favorites! Out of the box, it DID feel kind of jenky. But after about 20 throws it was pretty broken in and now feels as smooth as butter. Quality is so so, but again, figure in the cheapness. Mine had 2 pretty nasty plastic burrs on the side that I chipped off with my nail (as shown in the pic). Also, the gold screenprinting on the front is basically all worn off on mine in less than 24 hrs. I do however, have it in my hand constantly, plus I run hot, and generally kind of oily. It's extremely therapeutic for me though, and keeps me off my phone :) In short, it was 3 bucks, I enjoyed receiving a mystery color, and I favor this over some of my pricier yoyos. What more can I say? Edit 1 week later- I can longer recommend this yoyo. I was going to grab another one because it was so cheap and hope for a new color, but they're $10 now! I would recommend something better at that price point. $3, sure. Definitely not for $10. My yoyo is also completely blue now btw, with only shadowy reminents of once was screenprinted.

Kid loved it! Works very well

Share the fun with your grandkids! Bought and taught!

Awful, terrible doesn’t come up when you try to make it sleep made cheaply. Bought it for my grandson. He couldn’t even make it sleep properly or do other tricks Very Disappointing, I had one when I was a kid and they worked great!

This yoyo has that same classic shape, look, & feel as the original classic Duncan Imperial did. It plays just like the original too… except a little better. It sleeps easily (if your string isn’t too tight. The reason mine did not get a better rating is because of the way the ad information read. It suggested that the Imperial yoyo could be easily unscrewed to put on a new string. IT CAN NOT BE UNSCREWED. It’s metal post and axle are glued to the side shells. When I tried to unscrew it, the whole one side came off from the post and axle. It could not be put back on. I am trying to glue it back together. So BEWARE it does NOT come apart like the description says.

Its a Yo yo.. When you wear the bearings out on your fidget spinner a Yo Yo is a great replacement. Brings back child hood memories of walking the dog and killing time just Yo-Yo-ing. Great Quality and great times.

Amazing product, Packing was proper,I'll recommend this product
