Turbo Bumble bee poster. 18x28.
The ProYo Turbo Bumble Bee was Playmaxx's most successful yo-yo. With mismatched black and yellow halves (as well as black and yellow string), this yo-yo got its name from the noise that the bearing made after playing with the yo-yo for some time. The Bumblebee was known for being a very smooth player once the Brake Pads were broken in, that led to gaining the nickname "Butterbee" because it was as smooth as butter.
The TBB featured a stainless steel Size A ball bearing and a modified-style body shape.
This yo-yo was the first plastic yo-yo to use ProYo's patented Brake Pads, a response system using cork-like rubber stickers in a Starburst pattern around the bearing.
When Duncan bought out Playmaxx, the yo-yo was rebranded as simply the Bumblebee.
