—EDIT—
FOUND! And it is perfect! haha…cheap, orange, perfectly sized for my mom’s Teddy Bear…and it’s even an iconic throw!
It works surprisingly well! It’s got metal weight rings inside of it to give it enough weight to do gravity pulls with it…and for as small as it is, it does gravity pulls very well!
Granted…that’s all I can do with it! Up and down!
Now if you handed this thing to @edhaponik he’d be having it do all sorts of crazy flippity floppity, hippity hoppity things!
Not odd. Tear-inducing. You’ve mentioned your mom here a lot. I hope you find the perfect yoyo to go with the bear but until you do just put any orange yoyo in the bears hand as a placeholder so it’s complete until you find the perfect replacement.
the dream yo pixy came in a beautiful orange with little butterfly engraving. gorgeous tiny yoyo. C bearing. I loved mine to death. might be hard to find one tho
If the yoyo is not meant for playing stripping ano and spray paint it with color of choice is an option too.
Or even powder coating it. Some guys in here can do that
I thought it might be easier just to cover it with oven cleaner/rust remover. And let it sit in there for 10 minutes and be done. Than Sanding it and don’t cover all spots.
