XaXa (pronounced "Ksa·Ksa") is designed to stimulate the senses. It's for playful, curious people, jugglers, dancers, performers – for kids of all ages. The adaptable balls invite kids to experiment and explore: Fill them with different objects to change their sound or weight and mix or match colors to get the look they like. The core of XaXa is made of shock-resistant, clear plastic that is protected by a super-elastic rubber skin. This soft skin makes the balls pleasant to touch and easy to catch. It is so stretchy and durable that the core can easily be popped out of one of the holes.
The three dimensional skill based toy is orbiting to the next level with the Astrojax MX. This version presents the futuristic, aerodynamic SPORT, and the eye catching POP as the first ever Modular Astrojax. What’s this mean? Not only are these two styles vibrant with color, but with a simple pull and click kids can easily change out their mantles, cores, string buds, and strings. Launch date: January 2012.
This multifunctional yo-yo combines fixed axle, auto return and free spin technologies. It can easily switch from beginner to professional-level functionality.

Kids can mix and match the balls and covers, and each comes with a secret code where they can play a game online for prizes. Launch date: 2009.
The Aqua Glow version glows in the dark and is UV reactive providing an amazing light show under a black light. Each liquid-filled ball features a soft outer shell that serves as a flexible casing for the liquid, allowing for an easy, comfortable grip. Rather than a central metal weight such as standard Astrojax, the dynamics of the Aqua's fluid flows lower the rotational inertia of the balls to provide smooth orbits and prevent tangling of the string around the center ball. The string length is adjustable and stringbuds at each end of the string allow for quick and easy tuning. Launch date: November 26, 2007. — Astrojax are hot items at Moon Rabbit Toys in Santa Fe, N.M., according to Owner Shana Hack in early summer 2009.

Babal is a ball that is actually two balls together. Big and small, soft and colorful, they open up endless possibilities: play, touch, throw, catch, join, mix and match, build towers or balance them on your head. Babal appeals to many basic playing behaviors of children and stimulates their imagination. The large ball is 170 mm in diameter and the small ball is 62 mm. They are made of soft, high-quality, coated polyurethane foam.
This junior version of the award-winning Bilibo can be just about anything children want it to be — a racing beetle, a spinning top, a boat in a bathtub, a game piece, a sliding puck, a designer’s seat for Barbie and more. It is 100 percent recyclable and comes in red/yellow, pink/orange and blue/green color combos.
This Astrojax swinging ball toy features three balls on a string with the center ball free to slide. Each ball has super-bright LEDs that are impressive even in broad daylight. — “The Astrojax line doesn't really have any competition. Some skills for the yo-yo are transferable to Astrojax, but yo-yo tricks are done within a plane, whereas Astrojax is a completely new toy, a ‘free-dimensional orbiter™.’ Upon introduction of the Blue Diamond, this model instantly became our best-seller because the light displays it creates are so beautiful,” Larry Shaw of Astrojax told TDmonthly. Launch date: January 2005. ― “Astrojax, and they sell like hotcakes!” Shana Hack, owner of Moon Rabbit Toys in Santa Fe, N.M., said when TDmonthlyasked about her best-selling electronics and battery operated items in June 2010.
Although Active People´s Astrojax comes in many colors and designs, by far the coolest one to have swinging in the air, off walls or off your body is the bright, fluorescent Saturn model (aptly named for its encircled ring). When creating more complex tricks than with your average yo-yo, fret not; each Astrojax comes with a trick sheet and an Astrojax Docking Station if you need to walk away from it for a while. The Astrojax is equipped with three colored LED lights that can be switched from “Continuous” mode to “Disco.” Nothing is more groovy for kids 8 years old and up than three disco balls on a string for $14.95
