Mr Hankey's Toys vs Nothosaur
THE VERDICT
Mr Hankey's makes the best silicone dildos in the world. Nothosaur makes acceptable ones for less. That's the comparison, and the only thing that overturns it is a budget. Hankey's pours are the finest platinum silicone we've handled, firmness options mean what they say, and the customization runs from firmness to Vac-U-Lock bases to sizes that need a pep talk. Lifecasts start around $66 in the smallest size, the Perfect Penis runs $125.95 to $189.95 and Goliath $174.95 to $329.95, and there are no returns unless a toy is defective. Nothosaur ships from stock, posts its material test documents, and its Hard feels like other brands' Medium. Dual density on one XXL toy only, a 72-hour defect window, an anonymous company. If you can stretch to Hankey's, do. If you can't, Nothosaur is a fair budget pick with eyes open.

SCORE BREAKDOWN
PROS & CONS
- The finest platinum-cured silicone I’ve ever touched: hand-poured in California, lab-tested, artisan quality
- Insane range: hyper-realistic lifecasts, fantasy creatures, and everything in between
- Deep customization: four firmness levels, metallic finishes, size, and a Vac-U-Hole base for Vac-U-Lock mounting. It’s basically Build-A-Bear for adults
- Size range from Xtra Small to a 4XL GOLIATH (you’ll need a pep talk and a safe word)
- Matte silicone is a lint magnet. You’ll rinse before every use or wonder why your dildo looks furry
- No returns unless the toy arrives defective. Measure twice, buy once
- Heavy. Solid silicone = arm workout. The larger sizes need their own shelf
- XS pieces start at $65.95, then it climbs fast: $219.95 for a Boss Hogg XXXL, $329.95 for a 4XL GOLIATH
- Prices that undercut every established fantasy maker by a wide margin
- Platinum-cure silicone, with third-party test documents actually posted on the site
- Stocked colors ship from warehouses in the US, Germany and Japan instead of a made-to-order queue
- Real customization, with colors, three firmness levels where the shape allows them, and suction, Vac-U-Lock or machine-adapter bases
- Too soft. Buyers, bloggers and Reddit all report the same thing, and it holds even on the Hard setting
- No Shore hardness numbers, and Graemen, Lykos and every stocked color come only in Medium
- Defects must be reported within 72 hours of delivery, and there are no returns for anything else
- The company is an anonymous Hong Kong entity; the 'founded 2010' story doesn't match a 2019 domain
WHO SHOULD BUY WHICH
- You want the absolute best silicone quality available, period
- Customization matters: firmness, color, size, a Vac-U-Hole base
- You’re into both realistic and fantasy designs (they do both at elite level)
- You want to try a fantasy shape without spending $150 on the experiment
- Soft and flexible is what you're after anyway
- You're exploring large sizes on a budget
