Being cryptic is unhelpful.

Looks like a defunct UK store: throw-yoyo

Aha, that looks to be the one! Thank you so much!

P.S. One Drop misspelled retailers’ names like that very often.

Also, if anyone knows anything ‘YoYoYuan’ then that would be tremendously helpful. It may be a retailer or alternatively some kind of yoyoing event.

Heads up, I have a onedrop ano reference spread sheet I’ve been working on for a few weeks that should be ready to go live shortly. Over 500 entries from the Flickr alone. I’ve also been cataloging the physical museum at the shop in Eugene that has ano examples that are not shown on the Flickr.

Saw these yesterday at the shop. These were made specifically to mask the catch zone for the MMC so the blast wouldn’t cut strings. Insanely labor intensive process.

Does it list what yoyos those colours were released for? If not then it might be helpful for at least speculatively naming some colours that I haven’t got a name for. Does it have pictures?

V1 has pictures of everything but the standard solids. There are a few named solids (Kuntosh) in there. V2 or 3 will have some updates including (hopefully) models for each colorway, release timeline, and who the ano artist was for which version of each. I am still working my way through the museum drawers at the shop and finding examples that don’t exist online. There aren’t a ton, but there are definitely some one offs and just things that didn’t make it to the flickr. I started an instagram for the museum (mentioned above) at @onedropmuseum and will eventually also have a fully searchable spreadsheet for the collection with all the onedrop stuff as well as the rest of the collection of other brands.
