Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this yo-yo. I’ve never seen another one like it. I thought someone might have painted it blue before I got it. I used to work a yo-yo stand back in the late 90’s and received it as a gift from the owner. ---

There was a red one that was given to contest winners, maybe this was something similar? ---

I think that was from a run of Pro Yos gone wrong. Basically, each Pro Yo was given break pad response systems, spacers, and a bearing by accident, and they were sold for $2. ---

That doesn’t make sense, if they were molded for proyos they would have the bigger recess for the wooden axle, it’s not like you could remold/machine that area to take brake pads. Knowing Playmaxx they were a custom run, the blue looks familiar… > **[Museum of Yo-Yo History](http://www.yoyomuseum.com/museum_view.php?action=view&subaction=exhibit&exhibitid=709)** > > You have found the most comprehensive archive of yo-yo images, historical memorabilia, and information in the world.

Found the story. Turns out they were all pink Pro Yos however, so still have no clue what this one is. [DoctorPopular.com, about Doc Popular, by Dr Popular, for fans of Doctor Pop: Day 17: The Pink Duncan ProYo](http://doctorpopular.blogspot.com/2007/06/day-17-pink-duncan-proyo.html?m=1) ---

Thinking more about this, it’s probably a Vid-E-Yo without the pogs : ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/5/7/75769ac574e9a127cce33f8e0cfc2342c1e158e7.jpeg)
