The [Unicorn](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/unicorn) is a cap-compatible bimetal that looks unassuming before being adorned with its “horns”, which transform it into a unique palm-spinning toy that still plays like a traditional unresponsive yo-yo. The core idea behind the [Unicorn](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/unicorn) was to make something that crossed the line between yoyo and spin-top, making it ideal for palm-spins, walk-the-dog-sideways, and other fun ideas that aren’t always practical with other yo-yos. [![Unicorn-Feature](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/b/d/1bdf6742e0baa667543c39c6edc16c016b1acdd0.jpeg)](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/unicorn) MK1 YoYos dug through the history of yo-yo/top combinations, sometimes playfully called “terror tops”, and came away with a shape & size that took those ideas into a more unresponsive direction. The [Unicorn](https://shop.yoyoexpert.com/collections/new-releases/products/unicorn) features removable caps, allowing you to customize your yoyo like never before. These caps are cross-compatible with most Duncan-sized (48mm) yoyo caps.

For the black color, are the flat caps also black, or are they clear like the caps in the photos? ---

All of the flat caps are translucent polycarbonate. Only the pointy Unicorn caps have black versions. ---
