Smiley made me think .. [what are the best One Drop releases?](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/popular-yo-yo-that-you-just-couldnt-get-into/296295/78)
One Drop’s stuff is so reliably great, but there are still outliers one way or the other. If you had to [rank the _entire_ One Drop catalog](http://onedropyoyos.com/yoyos/), what order would you put them in.. and what would you say is their best? Here’s the full history of releases in **chronological order** :
### 2007 - 2009
- Project (2007)
- MM Project (2008)
- M1 (2008)
- Project 2 (2009)
- Dingo (undersized, 2009)
### 2010
- Sovereign (Ti)
- Y Factor
- MM Next
- 54
### 2011
- Wooly MM
- Code 1
- Dietz
- CafeRacer (undersized)
- Dang
- Burnside
### 2012
- Code 2 (2012)
- Cascade (2012)
### 2013
- Yelets
- Sakura SE
- Summit
- Chik!
- Rally (plastic)
- Format:C
### 2014
- Valor
- T1
- Gradient
- Markmont Classic
- Summit
### 2015
- Downbeat
- Citizen (Ti)
- Rebirth
- Terrarian
- Vanguard
### 2016
- Gauntlet
- Top Deck
- Kuntosh
- Cabal (Delrin)
- Marquis
- Prescription
- Kraken
### 2017
- Kuntosh 5000QV
- Mantis
- Parlay
- Dang2
- Deep State
### 2018
- SK
- Overture
- VTWO
- Eclipse
### 2019
- Fire Devil
(I excluded benchmarks here.)
I have not tried _all_ these but I’ve tried a lot. Much of their 2010 and earlier stuff I have definitely not picked up, though I do have Cascade, Summit, Code 2, Dang1, 54. Of this list, I’d pick a top “clearly their best releases” as follows.. not in any particular order, mind you:
- MC aka MMC (2014)
- Kuntosh / QV (2016/2017)
- Top Deck (2016)
- Terrarian (2015)
- Deep State (2017)
I feel like quite a number of earlier models are clearly subsumed by later designs which took those concepts and unambiguously improved on them, like Dang → Dang 2, Code 2 → Terrarian, Cascade → Top Deck, Format C → VTWO for example.
As for the 2018 and 2019 releases .. I dunno. I am not feeling Overture, Eclipse is fun but not exactly essential, SK is .. well, it’s the SK.. I _might_ venture that VTWO could _eventually_ be considered one of their best? I avoided this one because I find plain Vs kinda boring but I’ve heard very good things from a lot of folks.

I will admit also kinda have a grudge against releases that don’t support the Side Effects system. I frickin’ love Side Effects both from an aesthetic and technical standpoint.
You’ll note that zero 2018 releases supported side effects 😑 and neither does the first release of 2019.

No particular order:
- Top Deck
- Parlay
- Kuntosh
- Markmont Classic
I haven’t played a ton of their yo-yos, but these are absolutely rock-solid designs and are arguably some of the best in the market. Legendary, if you will
Cabal and Prescription are honorable mentions.
I’d still like to try a Rebirth, since it’s basically the latest and possibly final model in the project lineup. Seems like they really got that design dialed in nice and tight.

I don’t think there can be a definitive order seeing as it is based on preference. I only have 6 one drops, and of those my favorite is definitely the Overture. Second being Kuntosh. As of late, I don’t care for the Terrarian at all, aside from it looking really, really cool.
I think I would love the Parlay and Markmont Classic if I get my hands on one someday tho.

Terrarian is an _absolute sales monster_ though. It literally changed the game, thanks to its association with er… the actual Terrarian game. More than 55 different colorways were released! I also think it’s also an outstanding W shape design.

Valor, Format:C, Top Deck, Summit, Cascade, and MC are my favorites. Would like to try a VTWO and Kuntosh QV

I _love_ a lot of the older onedrop stuff, so I’d have to order it
7summit
Sakura SE
Dietz

Code 2

I thought the VTWO was the updated Valor (both being Kiss signatures). Is this not true? The Format:C has yet to be subsumed since there is no other pure W-shaped yoyo being made by them at this time (that I’m aware of).

54 and cabal are tied for my favorites. Code1 is up there too but I’m biased because I was lucky enough to get a tester prototype.

I believe I have a healthy One Drop collection now. Gradient, Parlay, Top Deck (coming tomorrow), VTWO, Kuntosh, Markmknt Classic, Deep State, 2016 Benchmark V and O. I have considered the Terrarian. However, I thought it was cery similar to the Kuntosh. How do they compare, is there a benefit to having both?

My list of favorite (“best” is impossible to determine) One Drops would be:
1. VTWO
2. Top Deck
3. Kuntosh 5000QV
4. Markmont Classic
5. Format:C and Mantis (tie)

They are releasing another yoyo soon called the Sugar Glider. It’s like a Cascade meets Summit (sort of)

AND it’s another non side effects yo-yo 😕 … they still haven’t released a single side effects compatible yo-yo in 2018 or 2019, to date. I think that 7075 terrarian will be one though, and that should be out soon-ish… but eh, it’s a QV style clone of the terrarian, not really a new yo-yo.

Sugar Glider, it’s a good one. I’ve posted other pics around here.
