hi all Well, Maurizio also asked me for a specific one. Let's give people what they want. I'll change the rules so this is possible. You can ask for the number(s) when paying. |

I found out from this very good article from a Russian (!) figurine collector that: "After the end of WWII "Louis Marx & Company" registered a new subsidiary, "Charmore Company", named in honor of David Marx's wife Charlene." Marx was an American company but also had manufacturing in Europe.
is it difficult to detached ,to release the string ? The secrete is to release the tension when the string becomes untwisted between the twist-right and the twist-left phases. If you time it correctly, centrifugal force will open the string and the top will be released. Some of the tricks require releasing the top and sending it in a specific direction and I find that more difficult, specially upwards when you spun it sideways. |

I finally got a FA-LO top, which is the buzzer-started top I had first tried at Cyril's.
This is the one from Cyril:  This is mine:  And these are the instructions and trick sheet:  It works quite well. I have done several of the not-so-easy tricks on the trick sheet. The top can be caught in the air so it rewinds itself and you can spin it up again. Mine was made in Swansea, Wales (UK) by Marx but Cyril's was made in the US by Charmore, N. J. (a Louis Marx company, I believe). The patent by Norman Jarand Rivers of Tucson, Arizona, is from 1944, US2360593:  |

That was fun!
A 30 second routine is accessible to many more players. Toji had the best routine, but others were also lots of fun to watch. Maasa's T-Rex was hilarious! The little girls, Achikochi and Hitan, competed in cuteness. And I want to be like Momotaro when I grow up!  PS: Taka did an ad for his yoyo-to-koma conversion kit  |

This is "30-seconds division", not so competitive but just fun.
The rule: 1. Players have to bring koma on the stage. 2. They have only 30 seconds to perform what they want to do. 3. The sponsors choice their own favorite player and give them some prize. |
