Duncan Toys Opens Retail Cart At Walt Disney World Resort
Duncan Toys has officially opened a dedicated retail location at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida!
This is a pretty huge step for Duncan Toys…having a dedicated retail space for their entire product line in one of the most heavily trafficked places in the world could do amazing things for the popularity of modern yoyoing. Even cooler, it looks like Brandon Jackson has moved to Orlando to manage the operation full-time…and Bryan Jardin and Sean Perez from Duncan Crew Philippines have moved there with him to work at the new location!
The photo above shows their temporary cart while a custom kiosk is being designed and built for them. We couldn’t get concept sketches since they haven’t been finalized yet, but hopefully we’ll be able to get some images of the permanent kiosk once they get a further along in the production process.
The Duncan Toys kiosk is located in Downtown Disney, between the Marketplace and Pleasure Island. Congratulations to Sean and Bryan on the gig, and to Brandon Jackson on the promotion!

Philippine Nationals: Sean Perez clinches 5th title!
The Philippine National yo-yo contest was held this weekend in Imus, right next to Manila, and all 5 divisions were disputed.
Over 70 players registered, making this one of the biggest national contests out there.
Kyle Capiral was the only competitor to repeat last year’s title, securing the 2A victory ahead of Martin Desamito and Hiro Koba.
Koba and Capiral switched places in 3A, with Koba in 1st place, Sean Perez in 2nd and Capiral in 3rd.
In 1A, last year’s winner Ernest Kahn was unable to repeat his good result and ended up in 4th place, behind winners Robert Tamayo, Reymark Zavalla, and Preslie Saraza.
5A also saw last year’s champion drop a couple of positions, with Duncan Crew’s Bryan Jardin finishing 3rd behind runner-up Paolo Alto and the new champion, Jaued Cervas.
The toughest battle was once again in 4A, with long time rivals and teammates Sean Perez and Paul Murillo battling for 1st place. In 2010, Murillo was able to secure the title, and this year he had the highest technical score (70.00 against Sean’s 68.30), but was beaten by Sean Perez in the Perfomance score (26.40 against 30.00), bringing the “Coffeeboy” back to the top for his 5th national title!
Full results can be found on the contest’s Facebook page.
