Korokoro Electric Yo-yo - Preorder

A yo-yo is a toy that's strung with a length of string. Tether one end of the string to your finger and the yo-yo becomes a part of your being. It obeys your hand movements and dutifully coils upwards when jerked like an ever-rolling puppet.

An electric yo-yo is just like a regular yo-yo but with special properties such as flashing lights and whirring sounds that are discordant enough to frighten woodland rodents. It's been years since NCS has toyed with yo-yos but we'll apparently get a chance this summer. System Service has started preorders for a collection of eight electric yo-yos of different sizes. Four of the yo-yos measure 5.70cm or 2.24" in diameter while the other four measure 4.60cm or 1.81" in diameter. Preorders are welcome to ship in late August 2008 at US$25.90 per complete set of 8 yo-yos.
