yoyomonster. - Crook (Kumamon)

This is a collaboration Crook, bearing the local cartoon character from Kumamoto, "Kumamon."

"Kumamon" is a mascot cartoon character that represents the Japanese prefecture of Kumamoto. "Kuma" means "bear" in Japanese, so the character is a cute play on the prefecture's name. This is an officially licensed collaboration item.

The recently released and popular beginner model, the "Crook," was used as the base design, but the spacer and bearing thickness is slightly different. The slightly thicker inner parts makes the Kumamon Crook slightly less responsive, for longer spin times and to make tricks like Elevator and Blanco (Rock the Baby) easier.

Thanks to the metal ball bearing, even beginners should have no problem getting long sleep times out of this yo-yo. The rounded body shape is easy to grab and fits nicely into the hand, and it makes for a great first yo-yo!

*Although this yo-yo is also named Crook, the inner parts are different. To upgrade the yoyo's performance to match the standard Crook, check out the Upgrade kit, and get a high-level looping yo-yo with a sweet design!

*There's a "point" on the back of this yo-yo's package. If you collect 15 yoyomonster points, you can receive a special edition gilded Crook!
