This Stinger™ yo-yo has a real scorpion incased in transparent acrylic. The bugs are authentic and no two are exactly alike. All of our scorpions are sustainably farm raised and look like they are still alive! Scare your family and friends while impressing them with your yo-yo skills.

High Performance String

Some yo-yos have 100 percent cotton strings. The cotton may slow down the yo-yo, chafe your fingers and it's more likely to break from impact if you're throwing really hard. They will also not last as long.

Another option is 100 percent polyester which is much more durable however; the polyester may actually melt during certain tricks.

The Stinger offers a string blend – 50/50 poly/cotton. Each string features increased durability, material blend to protect your hand and make for fast play.

Quick Response Friction Starburst

Since today’s bearing system yo-yos allow for spinning speed you need a response system - something on the yo-yo that's actually going to physically grab the string and pull it up to you. The first kind of response system developed is called a friction starburst. It is molded into the inner sides of the yo-yo around the bearing set well and looks like a starburst around the bearing. When pulling up on the yo-yo these starburst ridges allow the string to catch for a great return.

Take Apart Design

Mix-up your look? Customize your play? Maintain your yo-yo? All of these would be impossible without a yo-yo that can be unscrewed at the axle.

The very first type of yo-yo was a fixed-axle. This is what most of your grandfathers have played with. When they say “it's not like the yo-yo I used to use”, they are right. It has no bearings and will not come apart.

Mix and match your bugs, trade with friends and collect them all!

Scorpion – Did you know?

Scorpions have quite variable life spans and the actual lifespan of most species is not known. But some believe that certain species can live up to 25 years.

Scorpions can consume huge amounts of food at one sitting. They are very efficient at storing food and a very low metabolism combined with a relatively inactive lifestyle. This enables scorpions to survive long periods when deprived of food; some are able to survive 6 to 12 months of starvation!

Scorpions are used in folk medicine in South Asia especially in antidotes for scorpion bites!
