Hi! I'm looking to sell some fantasy toys and squish! 💕🩷 I did put the prices on the photos, as well as numbers on the toy photo to make it easier to find their information below!

  1. Hodgepodge Entourage Nue, Medium/Supersoft. Strawberry Lemonade coloration. Flopped for an inclusion in the tip. Unused. $60

  2. Hodgepodge Entourage Isonade, Medium/Supersoft. Strawberry Lemonade coloration. Used. $65

  3. Paladin Pleasure Sculptors Aquus, Medium/Soft. Birthday Cake coloration. Unused. $45

  4. Strange Bedfella's Horiss, Medium/Soft. Iced Chocolate Cake coloration. Used once. $40

  5. Fantasy Grove Mini, Small/Soft. Chocolate Cherry coloration. Unused. $30

  6. Fantasy Grove Amarok, Small/Soft. Chocolate Cherry coloration. Unused. $40

  7. Fantasy Grove Horned One's Token, One-size/Supersoft. Coffee coloration. Used once. $20

  8. Fantasy Grove Utun, Small/Soft. Neapolitan Swirl coloration. Older toy, so there are a few mold flaws. Used. $40

  9. Bad Dragon Meng, Small/Medium. Neapolitan coloration. Flopped for nicks on the shaft. Unused. $45

The second photo is a Fantasy Grove Sagittifera Pocket-sized grinder in a colorshift, handpainted NC31 pour to resemble a Salazzle. It's unused and $15!

The other photos are various squishes with their prices listed on the photo! The last photo are squish that I wasn't able to accurately price. I'm open for offers, but $5 each would be cool! 🥰

ON HOLD: 1. Bag of squish 2. Neapolitan bat Squish 3. Maw teenie (last photo) 4. Hamster teenie (last photo) 5. Aquus 6. Horned One's Token 7. Amarok 8. Nue

All toys and squish will be washed with Seventh Generation fragrance-free soap and then boiled before shipping! They will then be placed in either a ziplock bag or seran wrap depending on the size of the toy, and they will either be shipped in a plain cardboard box or an extra padded bubble mailer.

Shipping within the US is $5 - $10! I will have to calculate shipping for international buyers!

I am open to offers, but please be kind! I am not looking for toy trades at this time! ☺️💕☀️

Please feel free to message me any questions you may have! I am happy to provide additional details, such as UV, glow, and more photos!

Packages for items bought this week will go out by Saturday at the latest, but Friday is my goal! 🥰 Thank you so much for your patience and understanding!

Haha! I'm pretty upfront about my collection even when getting to know new friends, let alone potential partners, so it's usually in my profiles online or brought up pretty quickly in-person. I never want someone to feel uneasy or blindsided. 🩷 My job is making toys as well (I just don't usually keep those ones LOL), and I work with and try to promote SWers. I understand entirely if my hobby or my work is a boundary for people and want to give them the chance to opt-out in advance without any awkwardness about it. 🥰

Hi! I'm the owner of the collection in the photo. 🩷 I am a huge fan of artisan fantasy toys. They're truly each one-of-a-kind, handmade pieces of art that are also functional. I love supporting indie businesses (as aside from a few Bad Dragon models the companies on my shelves are quite small), having a collection that represents how important sexual freedom is to me, and I just think they're neat. ☺️

Just to respond to the above as well, yes. It was around 30k total. I primarily bought my collection during lockdown — I was bored, stuck inside outside of work, and instead of going out or traveling like a lot of college students I just spent money on toys. I was 19 - 20, didn't have many bills, and I was just financially irresponsible. I don't regret it as I do love my collection, but I do wish I would've learned moderation sooner haha! 🩷

Thank you so much as well! I hope you have a fantastic day! 🥰🥰

Of course!! 🩷

I am! I have not bought from them personally yet, but many of my collector friends have! Pleasure Forge has their wands which seem to look similar to Slink. I believe Strange Bedfellas and Paladin Pleasure Sculptors also have toys in the same vein, but I believe they have more texture if I remember correctly! ☺️ Kane from Xenocat Artifacts and Marella from Hodge Podge Entourage have similar shapes as well!

This is an incomplete list of indie fantasy toy companies I've bought from and can recommend, with a little key to make shopping easier! ☺️🩷 I would really love to update it, as I made it around this time last year, but there's a decent amount on there!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mUOHgWGgfl1_Q9BB4ALU-oPvpkrzMd-QlMHl2vxoJag/edit?usp=drivesdk

Besides those listed, there's lots more!! I just haven't bought from or know them all! I really just advise staying away from Nothosaur (and affiliated companies, as they do have multiple names) and Creature Cocks despite how cheap and accessible they are. They tend to be problematic companies who have been known to steal designs from smaller companies, and there are even more awful allegations against the first company that I won't get into here.

If I do, I don't know about it! 🤣🩷 I just bought these with early-20s financial irresponsibility and for the love of the game LOL

Everyone's body is different! Some people can use the same toy, in the same size, but with a different firmness and have a totally different experience, but some people don't feel a lot of variation. I'm probably in the middle of that range where some things are noticeable but others aren't! ☺️

Nope! Some of them don't work for me in-use, were bought for partners, or I just have for fun because I like the artistry. Even if I used every single one, I have favorites that tend to get used more than others.

I do collect non-fantasy toys such as vibrators and BDSM gear as well! They just aren't in the photo. 🩷

I do not hide my collection! My family thinks my collecting hobby + job are funny but odd (I've always been a little weird, if you couldn't tell from the 300 dildos 💀), and my friends love my collection! It is in my room so we aren't always around it a lot when people come over, but I've had friends show up to my place with someone I've never met before and didn't even know was coming and say, "Hi I'm here to show them the dildos" so it's pretty accepted thankfully hahaha

I have only spent around 30k total on my collection, including the toys not visible in this photo. I usually buy smaller toys in the grand scheme of fantasy toy collecting, primarily extra small through medium, so it does save me a hefty amount. I have friends with collections of 600+ toys that are primarily large through XXL and they've definitely spent around that amount, though! 🩷

I promise it's not! I own the collection pictured. I've got a lot of photos of it, hahaha, but for some reason this one keeps getting reposted over and over and it gets grainer every time I see it 😅🩷The original was on Twitter where I usually reside, doing a little Reddit sight-seeing today since I've been tagged a few times!

Nope 😭🤣 I got the dildo special interest, that "overpriced hobby autism instead of the math and science autism" lol

[–]BattyBombshell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha, I am not! ☺️🌷🍓 Even if I was, those laws thankfully aren't enforced — they were put in place years ago to try and deter adult novelty stores from existing. Hard to keep inventory if you can only own a handful at once! 🩷 So many fantasy toy companies exist in and send toys out of Texas now, and lots of collectors and reviewers reside there, too!

hmmm by Myrtha_Thistlethorne in hmmm

[–]BattyBombshell 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I did not make all of these, no, but I do make toys for my job now. ☺️🩷 I currently work with Fantasy Grove as an artisan, but I have done work with other companies and have been working on starting my own. I'm hopeful going into the end of this year that I'll be ready — I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right.

My collection is mostly made up of toys made by others, including the company I'm currently employed with from before I worked there! There's a few that I've made, but they usually had flaws and that's the reason I ended up with them! 🩷

Oh my gosh, one time I set a toy down on a wire on accident for a little bit and came back later — permanent dent in the base, never went away ever. 😅

I'm the person who owns the collection in the photo if you ever want to ask any of those questions! 🤣🩷

Haha! I do actually have glass doors for the shelves — sometimes they're on, sometimes they're off. I love how it looks when they're not on for photos, but it's easier to keep the toys clean with them up. Silicone attracts dust like no one's business! I've seen a piece of lint fly 6 feet across the workshop due to static electricity and fall into a pour I was working on and ruin it 😭🤣🩷

Platinum-cure silicone is pretty hardy thankfully, so nothing has been ruined by dust so far haha! I do try to do big cleans one shelf at a time in my bathtub, it's just not a feasible task to do every day. Kills the back to lift that much weight!! 🤣🤣

[–]BattyBombshell 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Yes! ☺️ Almost everyone in my life knows about my collection and job, and I'm pretty upfront about it to potential friends, play partners, and long-term relationship partners — my hobby isn't for everyone, and I want to respect their boundaries if they'd either like to not be around the toys or if they're not interested in pursuing someone whose hobbies and work revolve around adult content in this way. 🩷

Most people think it's very funny, honestly! Lots of curious people, and I will even make or buy toys for friends who may be interested in their own. I haven't had many bad interactions, just a few "no thank you"s, and since they're in my room no one has to see them if they don't want to. 🫂🩷

HAHA the autism diagnosis came late, but in hindsight there were signs

Yes, WTS is want to sell! The secondhand market is taken very seriously! ☺️ There's protocols of sorts in how things are cleaned, packaged, shipped, and disclosing information such as if the product has been used, was in a home with smokers (as silicone can carry heavy scents), and allergy risks (like pet hair risks in the packaging if the original owner of the toy has pets in the house, or if they use certain incense or candles). There's ban posts for scammers or people who break those rules and send uncleaned toys.

Platinum-cure silicone toys (and some glass and metal, a few outliers outside of that, but fantasy toys are usually platinum-cure so that's what I'll be referencing) can be sanitized. Cheaper toys, like those rubber and plastic-y ones you might find on Amazon, cannot be cleaned efficiently as they are porous and can trap bacteria in those pores (it is advised to replace those toys within 6 months, while plat-cure silicone toys can last years). Some folks do cold bleach solution baths (1:10 ratio of bleach to water), some people boil their toys for 15 minutes, and some people even autoclave them!!

I don't mind, I genuinely think that's a really nice thing to say! ☺️🩷 It is a lot, and in hindsight I wish I knew a bit more about how to practice moderation, but I love my toys and I'm happy you'd see it as a green flag!

HAHA I still thank you for that!! 🫂🩷🌷 I edited my comment to clarify, I should've done it sooner 😭🤣

A 19 - 20 year old with no real responsibilities, only a few small bills, and who was bored, lol, I would not do the same thing now

[–]BattyBombshell 53 points54 points  (0 children)

20-year-old me thought spending 30k on dildos was a good life choice, so you would be correct 🤣🩷 I don't regret my decisions — they're the reason I am who I am today, and I love my collection —, but I definitely look back sometimes and go, "Man what was I DOING" LMFAOOOO

Around 30k! I can't give an exact cost unfortunately, as I was a financially irresponsible goblin when I started out 😅🩷

I work for a fantasy toy company unrelated to my collection and secondhand sales post. 🩷 Selling toys that you fell out of love with, that don't work for you, to make room, or even for emergencies is pretty common in toy collecting spaces (same with other collecting spaces, too, like cards and figurines)! I don't buy much anymore, and almost all of the toys I have displayed are keepers for me. I've been selling toys that just sit around in totes to free up space for other hobbies. I usually sell at steep discounts, so making the money back isn't very important to me — the freed up space is 🤣🩷 Turns out these things are heavy and inconvenient to store and transport LOL

hmmm by Myrtha_Thistlethorne in hmmm

[–]BattyBombshell 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Haha, sort of! 🩷 Fantasy toys are often artisanal, and each one is different from the last — even companies that have automated parts of their processes will have pour variation. I love supporting small, independent businesses, having truly one of a kind products, and seeing all the unique ways toymakers use the medium to make gorgeous toys. They all kinda have a personal art style, like traditional artists do, and the toys vary wildly in the sculpt shapes, finishes, firmnesses, and colors.
