Is it a yoyo? Or is it a spin top? The 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.   See the longer description below for instructions on removing the caps.

Description

The 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 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.

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 features removable caps, allowing you to customize your yoyo like never before. These caps are cross-compatible with most Duncan-sized (48mm) yoyo caps.

These Unicorns come with the tall “spintop caps” stock. They are all b-grade for minor vibe and cosmetic defects.

Mk1 Yoyos Unicorn The Unicorn is a bi-metal yoyo that fits 48mm diameter caps. It was designed specifically for tall, pointed caps which can be used for palm-spins, table spins, etc. The caps can be installed with firm hand pressure. To remove the caps, unscrew the yoyo and remove the axle carefully. Use an air pump with a small needle that can fit into the axle hole. Wrap teflon tape (or similar tape) around the needle so that it can screw in snugly into the yoyo's threaded axle hole. Make sure that no people or pets are nearby, as the cap may pop off at high speed! Pump air into the yoyo until the cap pops off. For help, please email: info@mk1yoyos.com
