Created to celebrate C3yoyodesign’s 15th Anniversary, Cive is a true fan signature model brought to life during Ron’s YoYo Design Challenge in Japan. Ron, the designer behind most of C3’s lineup, gathered input directly from fans at the event, asking about preferred size, weight, and feel, then designed the yo-yo on the spot. The result is a model shaped by the community itself.
Cive blends a rounded rim profile inspired by the Krown with an H-shape influence from the Scintillator. The weight is pushed to the rims for strong spin power and stability, while keeping control precise and predictable. A dedicated fingerspin hub was added after strong fan demand, making it as functional as it is commemorative.
The name was chosen through a public submission. “Cive” pulls from “creative,” representing C3’s identity, while also incorporating elements that reference the 15th anniversary. The name reflects three ideas at once: C3, creativity, and the live anniversary event that brought it all together.
Designed with one goal in mind: trick mastery.
The Mico is the signature model of World Champion Shion Araya, built to eliminate the two biggest obstacles in learning long, demanding combos: loss of spin and loss of stability. When tricks get complex and sequences get longer, you need a yo-yo that keeps up.
Crafted from high-density stainless steel, the Mico is a full stainless super heavyweight, intentionally pushed to the upper limits of practical weight. The result is overwhelming spin power and unmatched stability. Once in motion, it holds its posture with authority, resisting tilt and maintaining rotation through extended trick sequences.
Its mid-sized diameter and slightly narrower width keep the profile compact and controlled. That balance makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces, thread through technical elements, and stay precise during dense combinations.
