From MK1:
“Is it a yoyo? Or a spintop?
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.”
The Unicorn had three different releases:
- Early release at the 2023 US National Yoyo Contest in Mesa, Arizona.
- First retail release of 120 units on August 5th, 2023.
- Second retail release of 240 units on February 16th, 2024.
