Changes: Yomega Hyper Warp

Latest revision as of 23:20, 9 May 2018

The Hyper Warp is a yo-yo released in 1999 by Yomega and Bandai as part of the Hyper Yo-Yo line in the United States.

Description[]

The Hyper Warp is a plastic yo-yo that features a modified body shape, starburst response and a roller bearing system like that used in the Raider and its variants.

Players had found this slightly heavy yo-yo to be great for looping play, and were known to be very stable performers.

The Hyper Warp is Yomega's answer to similar yo-yos of the time, such as the ProYo Turbo Bumble Bee and the Spintastics Tornado.

Trivia[]

The HyperWarp Wing and its successor, the HyperWarp Heavy Wing carry the Hyper Warp name, but unlike the original, they were not released as part of the Hyper Yo-Yo line.
- However, the HyperWarp Wing was originally slated to be released as a Hyper Yo-Yo product, as seen with Bandai's name being present on the side caps of the prototypes.
