WIDE SHAPE: The wide, flared "butterfly" body shape of Duncan's Butterfly yo-yos is designed to be ideal for string tricks.

Duncan is one of the oldest toy makers. Founded during the Great Depression, the story of Duncan Toys is unique: one full of curiosity and invention that could only be fueled by the uniquely entrepreneurial spirit of America. From schoolyard demonstrators selling hand-carved wooden yo-yos, to modern champions touring the globe, the way we play is always changing, but the reasons we play are not.

Q: Why is string loose around the center peg? We can't make it work at all.

submitted by Dcrawf65891 - 7 years ago
  • A: It is suppose to be like that just hold down the string and wind it up a few times release the string and continue winding it up

    submitted byanonymous - 7 years ago
  • A: To tighten the string, start winding loose at the beginning of when you wrap the string around the bearing, Then you can tighten the string at the end of the wind.

    Yoyo Skills

    Soooooooo after reading all the reviews you actually have to learn how a yoyo works, like tightening the string, how to release and return the yoyo. Don't be discouraged watch a YouTube video for once

    string loose, wont wind

    I purchased 7 for grand kids. The strings are loose, they will not wind. We kept them and eventually tossed them. A total waste of effort, time and money. Very disappointed!

    Don't buy

    1 star because zero isn’t an option. Bought for my daughter and it doesn’t wind up at all- the string just turns. Incredibly disappointing.

    Random colors

    I'm sure the yoyo is fine but make sure you scroll through all the photos and realize you will get a random color! I thought I was ordering blue and green shown in the first photo, my boys won't love the purple ones we received lol! Back to the store!

    Decent yoyo

    We are still practicing but this is a great yoyo for the price. It sits at the bottom well. The spring action to get it back up is a little tricky but overall it works. Great for those starting out. My 7 year old wasn't quite tall enough for it but is getting the hand of it.

    Terrible yoyo

    I thought because it was the original brand Duncan that it would be a decent yoyo. Within 5 seconds of use the string knot came undone making it impossible to wind up the thread rendering it useless. I bought two of these and the same exact thing happened to both within seconds. Save your money

    My Sons Absolutely Love Their New Yo-Yo’s.

    My Sons Absolutely Love Their New Yo-Yo’s. I know I enjoyed using the Duncan brand as a child so I was stoked to find these at Target for a great price! Hours of fun already had and many hours to go…
