Originally launched in 1994, Windjammers is a sports arcade game in which players hurl a flying disc back and forth in various settings. French video game company DotEmu recently announced it would be relaunching the game exclusively for PlayStation, and soon after, partnered with Wham-O in hopes of creating a real-life replica of the game's flying disc.
Wham-O's limited edition Windjammers Frisbee challenges Frisbee fans and Windjammers enthusiasts alike to practice, perform, and compete using all of their favorite moves from the game beyond the screen.
"Wham-O is all about active outdoor play, which is why we were especially enthusiastic about bringing Windjammers' flying disc to life," said Pronin. "It is an absolute must-have collectible for any fan of this awesome game."
In addition to launching the original Frisbee, Wham-O is also the company behind several other classic toys including Hula Hoop®, Hacky Sack®, and Slip 'N Slide®.
