ll yo-yos have passed the manufacturer's inspection. Different manufacturers have different standards for product quality. Basically, products that can be used normally are within the product specifications.

Examples of possible initial defects : If you notice any of the following symptoms immediately after opening the product, it may be due to an initial defect.

  • (Bind model only) The bearing barely turns even when flicked with a finger.
  • Even after calming the vibrations with a rotating middle finger, the yo-yo still vibrates so much that it appears to change shape.
  • Parts that should have been installed (bearings/pads) are not installed

Examples of items that are not considered initial defects

  • Damage to the package
  • Color image difference
  • Bearing noises after playing a few times
  • A yo-yo that was delivered in a properly assembled state, but after being disassembled, could no longer be assembled
  • Scratches and paint chips inside the bearing area
  • The color unevenness of the yo-yo is not noticeable from a distance.
  • Paint chipping that is not visible from a distance
  • Scratches on the yo-yo that are not visible from a distance and are barely noticeable when touched with your fingers

Description

YoYoFactory - Protostar (Japan Collection)

This is the Japan Collection edition of the Protostar.

For the normal edition Protostar, check the related items panel.

Protostar is the headliner in YoYoFactory's "Death to Metal" series and John Ando's signaure model, featuring a high-quality plastic body with a metal ring on the outer rim.

The "Death to Metal" series is YoYoFactory's response to the common belief that full metal yo-yos are superior; featuring high-quality plastic yo-yos that match or even surpass full metal yo-yos. The Protostar is on the forefront of this battle, and proves to be a strong contender. Its first prototypes went on sale at the 2009 World Contest, and made a lasting impression on everyone there. It has a very low edge, keeping sleep loss at a minimum, and its heavy rim inset into the outer ring and Center-Trac bearing give it even greater stability than its full metal competitors. The amount of thought put into its design far exceeds its price range, but that's the whole concept of "Death to Metal."

The yo-yo comes loaded with thin-model response pads which will wear out relatively quickly, so we recommended getting some replacement pads with your yo-yo. During assembly, the yo-yo is screwed together very tightly, and it will be difficult to open the first time; There are small arrows on the side of the yo-yo to indicate how far you should screw the sides to avoid imbalance, but don't force it too much or you might damage the yo-yo or the threading.
