Duncan Yoyos

Duncan is a toy company owned by Donald F. Duncan in 1929 and it was known as one of the oldest yoyo companies and one of the best yoyo companies, This company was best known for the classic Imperial and Butterfly yoyos, Also the Glow-in-the-Dark Imperial (now not available anymore) and other classics. Nowdays this company makes modern yoyos with a bearing for long spins and new ways to show off your yoyo tricks you learn. The Autistic Yoyo Man's Toy Shop is the best place for Duncan Yoyos, Not only the Butterfly, Imperial, Proyo and Reflex, but also other Duncan yoyos that no toy shops have done that before, and Here's the list of Duncan Yoyos we have.


Duncan Yoyos that we have:


Beginners:

Imperial - The Original and best selling looping yo-yo of all time! The Imperial® is the original, All-American classic. A timeless favorite, the Imperial has been the yo-yo of choice for many generations of beginning yo-yo players. The Imperial® features a narrow string gap, steel axle and durable plastic body in bold colors. It's great for learning the basics of yo-yoing!


Butterfly - The Original and best selling string yo-yo of all time! A favorite for over 60 years, the Butterfly® offers a wide shape that makes landing the yo-yo on the string much easier. It features a flared shape, steel axle and durable plastic body that can withstand impact. It's great for learning the basics of yo-yoing!


ProYo - The Proyo by Duncan is a great introductory yo-yo for players looking to just do the basics. This yo-yo does not have a ball bearing so you won't want to use this for string tricks...


Reflex - The New Reflex yoyo is a Auto-Return yoyo that is great for beginners since it has auto return clutchs and it's based on Yomega's Brain with a diffrent shape to a wing shape, It's great for beginners.


Limelight - The Limelight is a classic piece of Duncan design - they put their smart LED 'Pulse' technology and loaded it in to a budget yo-yo - what's the result? an affordable looping yo-yo that looks amazing and is going to keep kids happy for hours. Unlike the Pulse yo-yo, the Limelight uses a wooden trans-axle - whilst this limits 'sleeps' to some extent, it makes for a snappy, responsive entry-level yo, ideal for 2A looping. There's also some extra cell batteries in the pack to keep your customers spinning for longer.


Holden - Love yoyos and love Holdens? Well we've got something for you! The Duncan Heritage Holden Collection features 6 models of classic Australian Holden cars each in a different colour yoyo! Based on the classic Duncan ProYo, the yoyo itself has a wooden-axle and is great for older style looping tricks, such as walk-the-dog and around the world!


Wheels - It's a great yoyo for Beginners since it has a tranaxle and it feels so nice when you throw it down.



Intermediate:

Pulse - The Pulse yo-yo by Duncan makes a brilliant light show for a classic beginners Yo-yo. The Pulse features a bearing on the axle so sleeping tricks are possible. Most dramatic and effective when used in 2A styles of play. The Duncan Pulse is well weighted and comes complete with batteries and string in a smart presentation pack.


Hornet - This was the model that saw Shinji Saito roar to victory in the 2014 International Yo-Yo contest - one of the most advanced looping (2A) yo-yos on the market, built for extreme precision play and advanced looping tricks it also offers exceptionally long sleeps for a looping model. The yo-yo comes with 2 different sets of spacers to modify play to compliment different styles. Presented in classic Duncan style packaging. Colours may vary


Butterfly XT - The NEW 2019 styled Butterfly XT is here from Duncan! With an improved starburst response and slightly heavier weight it's even better for beginners and intermediate players alike! Based on world famous Butterfly®, Butterfly XT™ features modern yo-yo technology such as a large ball-bearing axle for long spin time (10x longer than the original), starburst response for quick returns, and its take-apart design allows for easy knot removal! The Butterfly XT's light plastic body is super tough, but nice and easy on the fingers - it is great for practising for long periods as it will not hurt your hands when you have a stumble! With a nice wide landing zone, this yoyo is great for testing out new string tricks! These features make Butterfly XT perfect for a beginner-intermediate yo-yo player looking for high performance and quality at an economical price!


Advanced:

Duncan Hayabusa (SL) - The Hayabusa is THE offstring yo-yo from Duncan. Comes complete with three different response systems for intermediate to advanced players: friction stickers, silicone stickers, and the recessed triad. The SL stands for 'Soft Landing', as the rims have been designed to accomodate some drops (as sometimes happens with off-string yo-yo). Available in lots of different colours and neatly presented in a plastic blister pack with Euro Hook.


Flying Panda - The Flying Panda from Old-School yo-yo company Duncan uses the same design as the popular Freehand model but with a few design tweeks that make it a lot of fun. The Flying Panda yo-yo has slightly flexible over-molded rims which make it a lot more suitable for off-string (or '4A') yo-yo play - it is a much safer to drop on the floor or use indoors. It also has a bigger gap width which makes landing those catches a bit easier and the extra weight at the rims should make this yo-yo spin a little longer than other plastic yo-yos. Comes in aneat presentation box with euro hook and string.


Skyhawk - If you're an off-string (4A) fan of yo-yos, chances are you're aware of the hype surrounding the Duncan SkyHawk yo-yo - part of the killer Duncan Hardcore range. Appropriate for everyone from performers to beginners, this model comes with a generous V-shape to aid catches as much as possible in high throws. It'[s also super agile and very quick - capable of assisting the most demanding 4A pro. Crafted from a super-tough polycarbonate plastic (that doesn't mind bouncing off the floor or ceiling) and improved with metal weight rings for supreme weight distribution and balance. The SkyHawk also has a unique spacer system allowing players to switch between Size A and Size C bearings. Presented in smart presentation Blister Pack. Colours may vary.
