My kids got one of these tiny Duncan Imperials in a “World’s Smallest Classic Mini Collectable Toys” blind bag display box. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/d/b/5dbd5d89204ba27467670c910999e65094934cf1.jpeg) I was surprised to learn that this “Duncan yo-yo” … kinda plays decent? 😲 I guess I should be thanking my lucky stars that we got a yo-yo in one out of the three, the yo-yo gods were smiling on us. I was thinking about this because I found excellent pictures of this thing in the “What did you get in the mail this week?” topic as I was scrolling through all freakin’ 3,600 posts of it so I am duplicating them here: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/8/0/9809ee1228c15c0cfefc1172dcf821a50bc36650.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/5/3/2/532c3b1034f24ea2b30e7a9969380e94dcb4d01a.jpeg) And for completeness here’s my pic of it ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/c/5/ac5fed8a2189a7ae332dcc4feb7cce021c573418.jpeg) it is a little banged up because my three crazy goat children have had their way with it. Anyone else tried one of these? It is surprisingly recommendable as a working tiny yo-yo. I expected it to be awful and it… wasn’t. ---

I have one. I also have a Duncan butterfly that size that’s also playable. ---

These are cool. I need to put a thinner string on this one, it came with what looks like a standard cotton string which proportionally is _way_ too thick for yo-yo this small! I need to dig out my super thin poly strings… I feel like someone talented with a history of throwing novelty yo-yos like @drewtetz (cough _yoffy_) could do a full trick routine on this thing. ---

I wish you didn’t tell me he didn’t do any advanced tricks. I figured he’d do trapeze or double or nothing with it or maybe a green triangle or some barrell rolls…
