I have no clue where this should be, but that doesn’t matter. 😃 I’ve tried 2 of these 3 and can help out a little. The Protostar plays great for a plastic with a nice solid feel. Can’t go wrong with it, it’s big though. The Dingo is a MINI yo-yo. It’s tiny. Plays nicely though for something that small though. More of a novelty yo-yo than a hardcore competition yo-yo. The DV888 is a nice metal from YYF. Haven’t tried one, but many people agree its a good throw. You can use this as reference for your decision, as hopefully this helped! 😃 You may want to look at either the Proto or DV888 before looking at the Dingo. ---

It’s hard to say since you didn’t list preferances or anything, but i’d have to say dv888 because it’s on sale. ---

I own them all, dont get the Dv888, it has bad binds. I liked it when I didnt understand how many better options there were avalible. The dingo is a nice cheap pocket yoyo, but now that I have the Ministar I dont use it. The protostar is great and cheap, but a little big and a sharp shape for my preferences. I think your smartest decision is to pay 20 more bucks and get a Y-Factor. It definitely on a higher level the the other yoyos your thinking about. ---

I definatly have to dissagree with what you say about the DV888 having bad binds, the DV888 is a great yoyo plus its cheaps as chips at the moment. ---

Out of those, (with my preferences) I would pick the protostar. Its full sized and plays as if it were $100. Oh and: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieV4nVHFUyU)
