Triple Crown of YoYo

Orange Triple Crown Monster Dropping this Weekend @ Triple Crown of YoYo Chicago!

  • by

The annual Triple Crown of YoYo is blowing through the windy city this weekend and in celebration of the event, TCY, in collaboration with Rotofugi and Squibbles Ink., will debut the first painted colourway of the event’s handsome mascot, the Triple Crown Monster, this Saturday, July 28th!

Designed by Chris Ryniak and sculpted by Shinbone Creative’s Scott Wetterscheider, the trophy/toy hybrid stands 7 inches tall and, with that solid gorilla stance, an impressive 8 inches wide. The orange beastlie will be available at the YoYo Expert table for $100 + tax. He’s a run of only 50 pieces.  Some will be reserved for the World YoYo contest in Orlando in August and any runaways will be sold by Triple Crown, so keep tabs on their news page.

Unpainted orange versions of the figure will also be offered at the YoYo Expert table for $80 + tax. Any leftovers of the naked mascot will be available via Rotofugi on Monday, July 30th.

ALSO! Be sure to pop by Rotofugi after the event Saturday for Triple Crown’s official after party from 6pm to 8pm. There will be snacks and drinks and a ton of YoYo fun with some of the country’s best players.

This Dude’s Got MOVES! Triple Crown’s YoYo Monster Hits the Stage this Summer!

The Triple Crown of YoYo is teaming up with Squibbles Ink and Rotofugi to produce their first-ever vinyl toy: the Triple Crown Monster! Conceptualized by Chris Ryniak and sculpted by Scott Wetterschnieder of Shinbone Creative, this 7″ beastlie doubles as both collectible art object and coveted Triple Crown trophy!

A very limited release of the unpainted edition (pictured) will be available at the Rotofugi booth just in time for San Diego Comic Con 2012. The first colourway will make its debut at the Triple Crown of YoYo event July 28th in Chicago, where folks will also get to see the rare metallic glow edition, which you can only get if you place in the top three in the Standard, Two-Handed or Aerial freestyle divisions.

Pricing is still TBA. Monsters that don’t sell at the events will be available via Rotofugi.com and TripleCrownYoYo.com.
