The yoyos we’re about to release are not collaborations with any other company, the halves are machined by One Drop’s machining studio. The rest of the yoyo (design, concept, anodizing, lasering, bearing, packaging, pads, & assembly) is all done in-house by Sonny and I, just like the old days.
We are not going to have a team like we did years ago, but Jake will be involved in the very near future.
Both Sonny and I are extremely excited about all this, more yoyos and news very soon!
i have faith in them. we know kia and sonny have the ability to make some of the best yoyos in the world. manufacturing was the issue in the past and with this being outsourced to the extremely capable guys at one drop i’m sure we’re about to see some world class yoyos with a refreshing feel hit the market.
Ummm, it was meant to imply that I’ve heard all of this before, since about 2005 or 2006 that they were coming back. When they get a product on the street I’ll believe it. When they produce, they make good stuff, no denying that.
