The Op-Yop Toy Story...

The Op-Yop is from an earlier, simpler time in American life. When it was first made in the mid 1960's, kids could choose from thousands of different American-Made  toys.  Why did millions choose the Op-Yop? Was it the sound? The bright colors? Or just the fun of playing with it?

The toy was addictive. The sound was unique and the spinning colors were mesmerizing.  It quickly became a kid's favorite and a pass time lasting hours a day playing with it. Playing with friends and their op-yops, many different tricks were invented. 

As years passed and the Op-Yop fad entered toy history, it was forgotten; Cherished fun times faded into memory,  and no one thought of it again.  Until...

A stash of hundreds of vintage, original 1968 Op-Yop toys were discovered in barrels and boxes in a warehouse along with the original molds; all but forgotten for over 40 years.  Curious if any one would buy them again, toys were offered for sale on Ebay.  That created a lot of interest. Digging into the toy's past we found a secret plastic formula that produced the unique sound.  Soon, every thing needed to make treasured op-yop memories was in place.

Since April, 2010, Op-Yops are again being hand made in Michigan, just like the original toys.

Op-Yop's possess a hypnotic power. When seen from a distance, approaching visitor's eyes lock on the bright day-glo colors of the toy display.  As they see an Op-Yop in motion they stop dead in their tracks and become entranced.  "What is it? they ask, How does it work?"

After trying an Op-Yop for the first time, everyone, all ages, instantly decide it is the perfect toy.  Older buyers comment how nice it is to know they can get them again.  Youngsters immediately want to  have one for their very own.
