Mr Hankey's Toys vs Vixen Creations
THE VERDICT
The two best silicone dildo makers in the world, split by what you want the dildo to be. For realism, Vixen. VixSkin's soft-over-firm dual density is the most convincing material in the industry and Vixen's lineup is built entirely around that feel. For everything else, Mr Hankey's, with hyper-realistic lifecasts and fantasy creatures in the same catalog, firmness and color chosen per order, Vac-U-Lock bases, and a size range from 5 inches to sizes that need a safe word. Vixen's range is narrow and non-motorized; Hankey's matte silicone is a lint magnet and the Perfect Penis runs $125.95 to $189.95 and Goliath $174.95 to $329.95. Neither takes returns for a wrong size. Neither will disappoint you on quality.

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
- VixSkin dual-density silicone is the most realistic-feeling material in the industry, period
- Hand-poured in Austin, Texas, with visible attention to detail in every piece
- 100% platinum-cured silicone: completely body-safe, boilable, lasts forever
- The squish-to-firmness ratio is borderline uncanny: soft skin over a firm core
- Extremely expensive. The Maverick starts at $140 and that's mid-range for Vixen
- The signature line is non-motorized; their vibrating options are a small, newer add-on
- Limited fantasy or non-realistic options if that's your thing
- Color selection is narrow compared to competitors like Bad Dragon
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)
- Realistic feel is the single most important quality you want in a dildo
- Body-safe, non-porous materials are non-negotiable for you
- You want a buy-it-for-life product that won't degrade over time
