Turbo Bumble bee poster. 18x28.
The ProYo Turbo Bumble Bee was Playmaxx's most successful yo-yo. With its 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 Playmaxx's patented Brake Pads, a response system using cork-like rubber stickers in a starburst-like pattern around the bearing. The Turbo Bumble Bee was also licensed to Bandai for the Hyper Yo-Yo line and was released as the ProYo Hyper Wasp.
When Duncan bought out Playmaxx, the yo-yo was re-branded as simply the Bumblebee.
