Nix

The Nix represents Bad Dragon's crown jewel - their most iconic and premium offering that weighs in at a substantial 1800 grams of hand-poured platinum silicone. Having extensively tested Bad Dragon's entire lineup, I can confidently say this is their absolute must-have product, despite the steep $110 price point.

First impressions are immediately striking. The weight alone sets expectations high, and the unique dragon-themed design delivers on those promises. The toy features a fascinating dual-texture approach: the first half maintains an incredibly smooth surface, while the latter half introduces ridges and gradually widens for increased intensity. What truly sets the Nix apart is its distinctive tail design, which creates an unmistakable tongue-like sensation that's genuinely unique in the market.

In terms of firmness, I'd rate this as a 4/10 on my universal softness scale. It's pleasantly soft for a silicone toy, though it would feel firm compared to TPE alternatives. The single-layer platinum silicone construction provides excellent durability while maintaining enough give for comfort. The substantial size makes it one of the few Bad Dragon products that truly requires - and rewards - a two-handed grip.

Practical use reveals both strengths and considerations. The open-ended design makes cleaning effortless, earning a perfect 10/10 in maintenance. Water flows through easily, and the non-porous silicone material air-dries quickly without mold concerns. I highly recommend warming it in a large thermos beforehand - the heated silicone transforms the tongue sensation into something extraordinarily lifelike.

The premium pricing reflects Bad Dragon's former drop-system exclusivity, where products sold out within minutes of biweekly releases. While $110 USD represents a significant investment, especially for international buyers, the Nix occupies a truly unique position in the market. No competitor offers anything comparable to this tongue-tail design or build quality.

Despite minor drawbacks - the substantial weight can be tiring during extended sessions, and the price point excludes budget-conscious buyers - the Nix delivers an experience that justifies its premium positioning. It's hefty, distinctive, and built to last, making it ideal for users seeking something genuinely different from the standard lineup of competitive products.

I'm rating this a 9/10 overall. The only thing preventing a perfect score is the accessibility barrier created by its high cost. For those willing to invest, the Nix offers an unparalleled experience that stands alone in the market
