Mr Hankey's Toys Review: The Best Silicone Dildos on Earth. I Said What I Said.
I’m going to tell you something I don’t say often: Mr Hankey’s Toys makes the best silicone dildos on the planet. Not the cheapest, not the trendiest, but the best. I’ve tested over 40 brands at this point, and nothing (not Bad Dragon, not Vixen, not LELO, nobody) matches the combination of material quality, design range, and customization that this California workshop puts out.
Founded in 2015 by a guy who walked into a sex shop, saw overpriced mediocrity, and decided to make something better. Every single toy is hand-poured from platinum-cured silicone in small batches, by people who treat dildo-making like a calling rather than a side hustle.
They do realistic, they do fantasy, and they do sizes that range from “oh, that’s cute” to “I need to rearrange my furniture.” They’ve won awards from AVN, XBIZ, and Cybersocket. They’re an independent, small-batch operation. And they’re the brand I measure every other dildo maker against.
🔥 If I could only recommend one dildo brand for the rest of my life, it would be Mr Hankey’s. The quality gap between them and everyone else is wider than you think.
The silicone
The silicone matters. Mr Hankey’s describes its material as “100% certified, platinum-cured silicone,” and platinum-cure sits at the top of the body-safe materials ladder: nonporous, boilable, and about as easy to sanitize as a toy gets.
The texture is matte. Very matte. Velvety to the touch, almost like suede. It feels premium and distinctly different from the glossy silicone you get from mass-market brands. But (and this is the one asterisk) matte silicone is a lint magnet. Leave a Mr Hankey’s toy on your nightstand uncovered and it’ll look like it went through your dryer’s lint trap. Quick rinse before use, problem solved. Minor inconvenience for superior material.
Because these are hand-poured, there’s a weight to them that cheap dildos don’t have. A Medium Perfect Penis is 11 inches long overall, 8 of them insertable, with a 7-inch circumference at mid-shaft. You feel the density. Pick one up and you just know it from the weight, the density, and the texture. You can feel the quality before you even use it.
💡 Always use water-based lube with Mr Hankey’s. Silicone lube + silicone toy = surface damage. This applies to ALL silicone toys, not just these.
Realistic line
The realistic line is where Mr Hankey’s reputation was built, and it’s where they’re still untouchable. Hankey’s says the Perfect Penis dimensions were “tailored using Artificial Intelligence” that considers “a vast array of studies on preferred penis size,” and that the piece was “cast from a real model.” That sounds like marketing nonsense until you read the size chart. Small is 6.5 inches insertable with a 5-inch circumference at mid-shaft, Medium 8 by 7, LG/XL 9.35 by 8, XXL 10.5 by 9.25, and length and girth grow together at every step, so no size turns into a skinny pole or a stubby can. Prices run $125.95, $145.95, $165.95 and $189.95. The Perfect Penis is my pick for best realistic dildo overall, which is why it sits at the top of my realistic dildo ranking.
The detailing is insane. Hand-painted veining. Pronounced corona. Realistic frenulum. Foreskin detail on the uncut models. You could put a Mr Hankey’s realistic next to a Vixen Creations Maverick and the Hankey’s looks like it was sculpted by Michelangelo while Vixen was done by a talented art student. Both are excellent. The Hankey’s is just on another level visually.
They also do lifecasts: actual molds taken from real performers. The detailing on these is borderline unsettling in its accuracy. Every vein, every texture, every curve is captured. If you’ve ever wanted a perfect replica of a specific anatomy, this is how you get it.
Vixen still wins on dual-density feel — their VixSkin “squishy skin over firm core” sensation is more tactile. But for visual realism and overall artistry, Mr Hankey’s is the benchmark.
Fantasy line
If the realistic line is the Michelin-star restaurant, the fantasy line is the theme park. And I mean that as the highest compliment. BFG (yes, it stands for what you think), GOLIATH, Kitsune’s Knot, Kinky Cobra, Monster — these are toys that exist in a space between art and engineering.
The BFG is their alien-inspired piece. Smooth platinum silicone with bumps, nodes, ridges, and knots that create sensations no realistic toy can replicate. Available in five sizes, from a 7-inch XS ($65.95) to a 13-inch XXL ($197.95) insertable. The knotting action on the larger sizes is… I’ll just say there’s a reason people build their entire collection around this single toy.
GOLIATH is exactly what it sounds like. It technically lives in the realistic catalog, but it belongs here with the monsters: a realistic dildo scaled up to proportions that require serious preparation and patience. It comes in three sizes, and even the smallest (LG/XL) is 8.75 inches insertable with a 10.7-inch circumference at mid-shaft. XXL is 10.5 by 13, and the 4XL is 12 by 15.25. This is not a beginner toy. This is not an intermediate toy. This is the final boss.
Kitsune’s Knot is their newest release, a canine-inspired fantasy dildo with a tapered shaft and locking knot. Four sizes from medium to 4XL. If Bad Dragon’s Rex taught you that you like knots, this is the upgrade. Better silicone, better proportions, and you don’t have to deal with Bad Dragon’s drop system. Fantasy toys like these pair well with the broader kink world; the BDSM starter kit guide covers the basics if you're exploring that side of things.
⚠️ Size-play tip: ALWAYS work your way up. Mr Hankey’s makes incredible XL toys, but jumping straight to GOLIATH because it looks exciting is how people hurt themselves. Start around 5 inches of circumference, like the Small Perfect Penis, and read the actual numbers before every step up. Your body will tell you when it’s ready for more.
Customization
This is where Mr Hankey’s destroys the competition. The option menus go well past size, and the Perfect Penis page shows how deep they run:
Firmness: four levels. 40% Soft (+$15.95) is the squishiest and most forgiving, then 75% Soft, Med Firm, and Extra Firm (+$15.95) for rigid, intense pressure. The 75% soft option is what most people want, with realistic flex and enough structure to do its job, and it carries no surcharge. Bad Dragon offers similar firmness options, but Mr Hankey’s silicone has the reputation for feeling denser and more premium at every level.
Color options are extensive. Solid colors, metallics, marbled effects, custom combos. Metallic is a $5.95 upcharge on the Perfect Penis, and it’s the finish that turns a dildo into something out of a fantasy forge. These are display-worthy objects. Some people put them on shelves. I don’t judge.
Size counts vary by model, from manageable to medically inadvisable: three sizes for the GOLIATH, four for the Perfect Penis, six for the Boss Hogg. A Vac-U-Hole base (+$4.95) lets you mount the toy on a Vac-U-Lock plug for harnesses and machines, and harness users get the strap-on ring size listed for each size: 2.5 inches for the Small and Medium Perfect Penis, 3 inches for LG/XL and XXL.
💡 First timer? Go with 75% soft firmness and the Small Perfect Penis (6.5 inches insertable, 5 around). Hankey’s XS pieces are shorter but not thinner: the Beefcake XS is 6 inches around and the Boss Hogg XS 6.6. You can always go bigger and firmer later. You can’t un-buy a toy that’s too much.
Xtra Small series
In 2018 Mr Hankey’s launched the Xtra Small series for people who don’t need a forearm-sized dildo. Smart move. On the realistic side, the XS versions of the Atlas, Beefcake, Captain’s Hook, Jack Hunter, Nick Capra, Rentman and more cost $65.95 each, about half the price of a Small Perfect Penis. The Beefcake XS is 5.5 inches insertable with a 6-inch circumference, and the Boss Hogg XS is 6.5 by 6.6. There’s even an XS 9-pack for $415.48 if you want to sample the lineup without committing to one shape.
The Xtra Small series is the perfect entry point if you’re curious about Mr Hankey’s but intimidated by their reputation for massive toys. The quality-to-price ratio is actually better than the full line because you’re getting the same premium silicone in a smaller (cheaper) package.
Sizing guide
Mr Hankey’s sizing system is more detailed than most brands bother with, and that matters when there’s no return policy. Each product page lists insertable length and mid-shaft circumference for every size, and the Perfect Penis page adds overall length and harness ring size. They also include hand-held photos so you can see scale against actual human fingers. Appreciate that. Too many companies list dimensions in a table and leave you guessing whether 7.5 inches of circumference means “pleasantly full” or “call a doctor.”
Size counts and names vary by product. The Perfect Penis runs Small to XXL in four sizes, the Boss Hogg XS to XXXL in six, and the GOLIATH starts at LG/XL and ends at 4XL. No universal standard across the catalog, which can trip you up if you’re comparing across different product lines. A “Medium” Perfect Penis is 8 inches insertable and 7 around; a “Medium” Boss Hogg is 10.25 and 10. Always check the actual numbers.
The Xtra Small series overlaps with what most mainstream brands call “regular.” If you’ve used a standard dildo from Tantus or Fun Factory and found it comfortable, the Small Perfect Penis (6.5 inches insertable, 5 around) is your starting point, and the realistic XS pieces are shorter but thicker. Be careful with the word “Small” on the big models, though: a Small Boss Hogg is 9 inches insertable with a 9-inch circumference. Their Medium is where things get ambitious. Large and above is size-play territory, and you should already have experience with gradual stretching before you go there.
💡 Print out the size chart or hold a ruler to your screen. Circumference is the measurement that catches people off guard, not length. A toy that’s 6 inches around feels dramatically different from one that’s 5 inches around. That one inch is the difference between “nice” and “oh god.”
Care & storage
Platinum-cured silicone is the easiest material to clean. Nonporous, so bacteria can’t burrow into the surface. Soap and warm water after every use is the baseline. You can also boil them for 3-5 minutes, toss them in the top rack of a dishwasher (no soap, no other dishes, obviously), or spray with a 10% bleach solution and rinse. The CDC recommends bleach dilution for sanitizing nonporous surfaces, and silicone qualifies.
The lint problem deserves its own paragraph. Matte silicone attracts every fiber, hair, and dust particle within a three-foot radius. Storage matters. Don’t just throw these in a drawer with your socks. Each toy should go in its own bag: satin, microfiber, or even a large ziplock works. Mr Hankey’s sells storage bags, but any lint-free pouch does the job. Separate bags for each toy, because even silicone-on-silicone contact over long periods can cause surface reactions.
Weight is the other storage consideration. An LG/XL Perfect Penis is 12.5 inches long overall, and a GOLIATH is heavier than some dumbbells. These need a shelf or a sturdy drawer, not a flimsy nightstand. I keep mine in a storage box under the bed, each in its own cloth bag, standing upright so they don’t warp. Silicone is flexible enough that leaving a heavy toy on its side for months can cause a slight bend. Not permanent damage, just annoying.
One rule: never use silicone-based lube on these. Silicone lube bonds with silicone toys at a molecular level and degrades the surface over time. Water-based only. Hybrid lubes (water-based with a small silicone percentage) are risky too. Stick with pure water-based and you’ll never have a problem.
vs Bad Dragon & Vixen
The three brands people compare most in the premium silicone space: Mr Hankey’s, Bad Dragon, and Vixen Creations. Each does something better than the others, and which one you pick depends on what you actually care about.
Bad Dragon wins on cultural cachet and community. The fandom, the custom colorways, the Discord servers where people trade drops like sneakerheads. If collecting is part of the appeal, if the hunt is fun for you, Bad Dragon delivers an experience beyond the toy itself. Their silicone is excellent, just not quite as dense or velvety as Mr Hankey’s. The real problem is the drop system: limited stock, monthly windows, bots sniping inventory. Mr Hankey’s sells like a normal store. You pick what you want, customize it, and they make it. That alone is worth the price difference for most people. The Bad Dragon vs Mr Hankey's comparison lays out every difference if you're deciding between the two.
Vixen Creations owns dual-density. Their VixSkin line has a squishy outer layer over a firm core that mimics the feel of an actual erection better than anything else on the market. For pure tactile realism during use, Vixen beats both Mr Hankey’s and Bad Dragon. But Vixen’s VixSkin line is roughly 18 models plus the new VixSkin X, with no customization beyond what’s listed, and prices ($96 to $224) that overlap Mr Hankey’s without the options. If you want exactly one realistic dildo and realism of feel matters most, Vixen is the pick. For everything else, Mr Hankey’s.
Tantus deserves a mention as the budget option. Good platinum silicone, with dildos starting at $31. Not the same density or detail as Mr Hankey’s, but body-safe and functional. If you’re testing whether you even like silicone dildos before spending $125.95 on a Perfect Penis, Tantus is where to start.
🔥 My ranking: Mr Hankey’s for overall quality and customization. Vixen for dual-density feel. Bad Dragon for fantasy designs and community. Tantus for budget entry. There’s no wrong choice among these four. There IS a wrong choice if you buy cheap silicone from Amazon instead.
Ordering & shipping
Unlike Bad Dragon’s infuriating drop system where you’re competing with bots for limited stock, Mr Hankey’s operates like a normal online store. You browse, you customize, you buy, they make it. Orders ship within 4-7 business days. Free shipping over $50, which basically everything qualifies for.
The website is functional. Not beautiful, not cutting-edge, but it works. Product photos are good, size comparisons are helpful, and the customization interface does what it needs to do. Navigation could be better; finding specific products sometimes requires more clicking than it should.
Discreet shipping. Plain packaging, no branding. Your mail carrier will not know you ordered a platinum silicone GOLIATH in metallic purple. Your secret is safe.
⚠️ No returns unless the toy is defective. The Perfect Penis page says it plainly: “There are no returns on orders unless defective.” “I ordered too big” is not a defect, so measure carefully and take the size chart seriously.
Pricing
For context: a Vixen Maverick is $140, and Tantus dildos start at $31. Mr Hankey’s overlaps Vixen on price, with a realistic range that runs from $65.95 to $327.95, and RealDoll’s RC2 dildos sit above both. Most realistic models start at $65.95 in their XS size. The Perfect Penis is $125.95 in Small, $145.95 in Medium, $165.95 in LG/XL and $189.95 in XXL. The Beefcake goes from $65.95 (XS) to $208.95 (XXXL), the Boss Hogg from $65.95 to $219.95, and a GOLIATH starts at $174.95 in LG/XL, then $238.95 in XXL and $327.95 in 4XL. Options stack on top: 40% Soft or Extra Firm adds $15.95, a metallic finish $5.95, a Vac-U-Hole base $4.95.
Is it worth it? If you care about silicone quality: yes, absolutely. You’re getting hand-poured, “100% certified, platinum-cured silicone,” in Hankey’s own words. Every toy is inspected by hand. The customization alone justifies a premium. Try getting a specific firmness and color combo from Vixen or Tantus.
If you’re on a budget: start with an XS piece at $65.95 straight from Hankey’s. Same silicone, shorter toy, lower price, though the realistic XS pieces run 6 inches around or more. Build your way up when your wallet and your body are both ready.
These toys last forever. Platinum-cured silicone doesn’t degrade. Amortize $150 over ten years and you’re paying $1.25 a month for the best dildo on the planet. Your Netflix subscription costs more and brings you less joy.
Who should buy from Mr Hankey's Toys?
Verdict
There are more than 40 reviews on this site, and this is the only one where I struggled to find meaningful criticism. Lint on matte silicone. The toys are heavy. No returns unless something arrives defective. That’s it. That’s the con list for a brand that hand-pours “100% certified, platinum-cured silicone” and lets you pick firmness, finish, and size.
The realistic line sets the benchmark for the entire industry. The fantasy line is art. The customization system makes Bad Dragon’s drop lottery feel like a bad joke. The silicone is the best I’ve ever handled. Not ’one of the best.’ The best. From the Perfect Penis to the GOLIATH to Kitsune’s Knot, every product in this lineup feels like it was made by someone who considers dildo-making a craft, not a business.
The prices reflect that. $125.95 for a Small Perfect Penis buys a hand-poured, hand-inspected piece in the firmness and finish you picked, from an artisan workshop. And that silicone doesn’t degrade. Ever. You buy this once.
Perfect Penis in Small, 75% soft firmness, is the starting point I recommend to everyone: 6.5 inches insertable, 5 around, $125.95. A realistic XS for $65.95 is the cheaper way in if a shorter, thicker toy suits you. Either way, once you hold one, you’ll get it.
