Best Fantasy Dildos 2026: Every Maker Ranked
Fantasy dildos are the deepest rabbit hole in this hobby. You start wondering whether a dragon-shaped toy is silly, and six months later you have opinions about knot placement, a preferred firmness rating, and a calendar reminder for a silicone drop. We cover six makers in this category with full reviews, and this guide is the ranking that ties them together.
One thing before the picks. Every brand in this guide pours platinum-cure silicone, which is why they made the cut at all. The fantasy category has a bottom end of jelly and mystery TPE shaped like dragons, and none of it belongs inside a body. A $25 creature toy that never names its material is a materials problem wearing a bargain price.
Prices in fantasy silicone move with size, firmness and options, so treat every number here as a starting point. Full breakdowns live in the individual reviews, all linked below.
What Actually Matters
Four things separate a fantasy toy you use for years from one that lives in a drawer, and none of them are the creature on the box.
Material is the non-negotiable. Platinum-cure silicone is nonporous, boilable, and doesn't degrade into a sticky mess. All six makers here clear that bar, which cannot be said for the Etsy-and-Amazon tier where "silicone blend" means whatever the factory had. The glossary entry on platinum-cure covers why the curing chemistry matters.
Firmness changes the toy more than size does. The same sculpt in soft and firm silicone is two different experiences: soft compresses and folds through its own texture, firm delivers every ridge exactly as sculpted. Pleasure Forge publishes one of the widest firmness ladders in the category (Super Soft through a rarely offered Firm), Bad Dragon and Mr Hankey's both let you choose at order time, and my standing advice from the Bad Dragon review holds across brands: medium is the sensible default, because soft turns large single-density pieces into wet noodles the moment you try to actually ride them.
Texture intensity is the thing first-time buyers misjudge. Fantasy sculpts carry knots, ridges, scales and flares that realistic toys don't, and a texture that looks exciting rendered in 3D can be a lot in practice. Sizing down relative to your usual is the standard advice, and it's correct.
And the base. Anything that might go anywhere near anal use needs a real flared base, no exceptions. Most fantasy pieces have generous bases by design. The anal training guide covers the rest of that territory, including why progression should follow your body's response rather than a schedule.
The Big Two
Two brands dominate the category's mindshare, and our two highest fantasy ratings belong to them for different reasons.
Mr Hankey's Toys is the best silicone we've rated, in any category: 9.2/10, the only elite score among the fantasy makers. Hand-poured in California, denser and heavier than anything else in the market, with sculpt detail that reads as carved rather than molded. Small sizes start around $60-80, the signature line begins at $125, and a fully loaded GOLIATH runs north of $250. The catalog leans realistic-plus-fantasy rather than full creature: the BFG, Kitsune's Knot and the sheer scale of the upper range are where the fantasy edge shows. Ordering works like a normal store, which sounds like a low bar until you've dealt with the alternative.
Bad Dragon is the reason this category exists at commercial scale, and the 7.8 reflects both halves of that story. The sculpts are iconic (a medium Chance in medium firmness remains the single best first fantasy purchase), the custom color configurator is addictive, and the silicone is legitimately good. The deductions come from everything around the product: a drop system where popular ready-made pours sell out in minutes, long custom queues, and documented community baggage that the full review covers rather than relitigating here.
Choosing between them comes down to what you're optimizing for. Material quality and buying experience: Mr Hankey's, no hesitation. Creature variety, custom colors and cultural cachet: Bad Dragon, with your patience priced in. The head-to-head comparison goes model by model if you're stuck between the two.
The Specialists
Below the big two sits a tier of indie makers who survive by owning one specific thing. All three of our reviews in this tier are curator profiles: brand research, catalog analysis and community reputation rather than personal testing cycles, and the reviews say so plainly.
Primal Hardwere (7.9) owns the strangest and most defensible niche in the category. They invented the commercial ovipositor: a hollow silicone tube that lays gelatin eggs, made from molds they include with the toy. The Splorch and Krubera are the famous ones, written up by Vice and Autostraddle, which is mainstream validation most indie makers never see. If the egg thing isn't yours, the Widget (a knotted inflatable around $70) and the Knot Gag are approachable entries, and a chunk of the catalog sells through Amazon in fixed colorways for people who want normal checkout instead of an indie storefront. New Hampshire workshop, platinum-cure, running since 2013.
Pleasure Forge (7.7) is the theme brand: a Dungeons & Dragons monster manual rendered in silicone. Aboleth, Illithid, Kobold, Kraken, Mimic, forty-plus designs that all look like they came from the same world, plus blind-box Forgelings for people who enjoy the gamble. Their firmness ladder is unusually wide, and their "flops" (cosmetically imperfect pours at a discount) are the cheapest legitimate way into hand-poured fantasy silicone anywhere. The catch is availability, covered below.
Exotic Erotics (6.9) does something nobody else in this guide does: lifecast toys alongside the sculpted line, human, canine and equine, running $45 to $325. The review covers the animal-welfare questions that come with that territory and the brand's own account of how casting works now; read it before deciding how you feel. As a buying experience they're the anti-Bad-Dragon: made-to-order, order whenever you want, no drops and no timers.
Drops, Queues and Configurators
Nobody warns you that the hardest part of fantasy silicone is often just buying it. The category runs on three ordering models, and matching your patience to the model matters as much as picking the sculpt.
| Maker | Model | What that means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Mr Hankey's | Normal store, made to order | Browse, customize, buy. Ships in 4-7 business days. Free shipping over $50. |
| Bad Dragon | Ready-made drops + custom queue | Popular pours sell out in minutes. Customs take weeks. The configurator is worth the wait once. |
| Pleasure Forge | Timed drops, Thursdays ~8PM EST | Know the model you want and show up. Between drops the catalog reads sold out. |
| Primal Hardwere | Made to order + Amazon subset | Custom colors direct, or fixed colorways with normal Amazon checkout. |
| Exotic Erotics | Made to order, always open | No competition, no timers. You wait for the pour instead of fighting for stock. |
The drop models reward obsessives and punish casual buyers, which is exactly backwards from how most people shop. If you know you won't set a reminder for a Thursday-night stock release, buy from a made-to-order maker and trade the wait for certainty. International buyers should also read shipping terms closely: Pleasure Forge ships internationally via UPS only with duties on the buyer, and every maker in this guide charges real money for crossing an ocean.
One refund warning that applies almost everywhere in this category: made-to-order silicone is largely final sale. Pleasure Forge explicitly voids refund eligibility once the sealed bag is opened, and wrong-size or wrong-firmness orders are on you. Measure twice. The size charts exist for a reason.
The Size-Play Crossover
Fantasy silicone and size play are overlapping hobbies, and the overlap deserves its own note because the buying logic changes.
The upper ends of these catalogs (Bad Dragon's GOLIATH-class builds, Mr Hankey's XL range, Exotic Erotics' SubWoofer XL at around $185) are goal pieces, not starting points. If that's the direction you're heading, the anal training and size play guide covers the progression evidence, and the short version is that material choice can matter more than the number on the size chart.
Which is why SquarePeg Toys (8.2) earns a mention in a fantasy guide despite being only fantasy-adjacent. Their SuperSoft silicone compresses on insertion and re-expands once seated, so a given width is simply easier to take than the same width in standard-firmness silicone from any maker above. For working up to the big fantasy pieces, an Egg Plug progression is the gentler path, and the Slink series is its own destination for depth play.
Worth Watching
One maker hasn't earned a full review yet but belongs on the radar. Nothosaur has been hand-pouring fantasy silicone since 2010, sells in the $60-80+ range with selectable firmness and custom colors, and sits at a more accessible price point than the big names while staying in platinum-cure territory. That combination, handcraft and customization without the $125 entry fee, is the gap in this market, and readers keep asking about exactly that. A proper review is on the list; until then treat them as promising and apply the same checklist as everywhere else: material named, size chart read, base checked.
The pattern behind that checklist is the real lesson of this category. The fantasy market rewards small makers who do one thing obsessively well, which means new workshops appear constantly and most of them are two people and a pressure pot. Some become Primal Hardwere. Some vanish mid-queue with your deposit. The established names in this guide cost more precisely because they've been pouring for a decade-plus, and that track record is part of what you're paying for.
The Verdict
The category ranking, for the record: Mr Hankey's 9.2, SquarePeg 8.2 in the adjacent lane, Primal Hardwere 7.9, Bad Dragon 7.8, Pleasure Forge 7.7, Exotic Erotics 6.9. Every one of those numbers has a full review behind it explaining itself.
Budget footnote: if $85-plus for a first piece stings, Tantus pours plain but excellent platinum silicone from $30-60, with zero dragons and the exact same safety. The dragons can come later.
