Toy Reviews 

This company was built on reviewing, content creation, and testing other toys. It made inflatables a very interesting, but also drama ridden experience, so why quit now? I will start by saying this is the personal opinion of the author of this site. It should not reflect on your buying position. It's not an insult to any other company. It is an honest, non-bias review to help these companies make better products. What they chose to do with this information will be up to them. I have dealt with all types of attitudes towards this from producers. 

HPI Flausi vs. Bravostar bull

This is a very interesting pair. One was made by a furry company with a rather mixed reputation and the other was an LLc known as bravostar and obviously the same or similiar design base. So i thought it would be a nice change of pace to mix these two together into a review comparison of there own.

The first hpi flausi was before my time. But the second makes for a better picture of there products being made today. It was quite a surprise to see it came with a very nice set of valves and thicker material. Not unlike the valves one would find on a puffy paws toy and yes, my taste personally is for that of sph toys. 

The bravostar bull came to us as a surprise off amazon at first having run out of stock then being restocked shortly in which i finally got in a month or so later. It's soft, a little weaker all around, but quite the looker, and a very erotic but normal looking toy. 

I know it's a little difficult to compare the two one being an sph toy, this is what i will do, the sph review for Flausi: After the past issues with hpi's unicorn sph there seems to be a very good improvement in the sph. It has a bit of texture, is looser, but also a much better design. I have heard of some having issues with it not "getting the job done" but for me personally it definately got the job done just like my content on it showed. It's indefinately an improvement and a sign of some level of care unlike the ones in the past which quite literally injured and cut me.

Flausi has a thicker build now, is a larger toy then one would expect when fully inflated, takes up a lot of floor space. He has an adorable looking face, georgous nub, pretty much all the desirable aspects for any furry deer enthusiast. The new valves do not allow for as much of a quick deflate but are easier to use especially for those like me who like a nice long deflation process. In all i would give Flausi a 4/5 with the current issues being that the internal portion of the sph has lost a tiny bit of its pink color, or maybe i just used it too much and left a little love behind. We may never know.

This bull by bravostar has been quite the interesting toy. It gives the look and feel of a toy like Flausi but without it coming from a place like hpi. I remember hpi complaining about how they "used the flausi design". However given there litany of bad business practices at hpi it's no surprise that other places are starting to fill this gap. 

The issue with hpi tends to be that they are very controlling over the community and often create needless drama over their mistakes, defects, and other issues with this business. A lot of the problems would be very easy to address and fix if the customer service were dealt with in a polite way where everyone didn't feel like they were bothering them by asking that the return and exchange policy be honored. 

Spring Lily + Night Fire unicorns 

Personal absolute favorite toy. 8 chambers. Regular pool toy material gives it a custom feel without the overly thick material, extremely erotic toy. With proper care and expectations these can last a really long time. Her innocent appeal pairs excellently with an sph. The ass end of it is like that of no other toy i have ever experienced. Since the first models of these i have been a major fan of this toy and been through many so i know the model very well and even based and sought out this exact base for my first ever self made toy.

As stated by other reviewers like sevenford its ability to hug is a very unique experience. It has big long hooves and a sleek body, it's a community staple of toys near and dear to many of the long term members here. 

35 believe it or not, over time i have owned, currently own, bought and sold over 35 of them. So when it comes to making my own model, i don't feel im cheating the other company in any way by making my own design of it. We have many specific reasons why we no longer directly do business with hp inflatables. 

Is it wrong of me to like to dominate and hiss this toy? You will be the judge.

The pros are something that's been built in me personally as a matter of preference and i understand not everyone will have the same experience. The price is reasonable and if you are experienced with these or iw's style its a great pick. 

The cons are that it does have weak areas such as under the legs in the back, part of the mane especially on the g1 night fire. As spoken about previously the sph version of the pink one did not go over well because the sph was made tightly with sharp seams and the customer service was not the best. I can safely say after the 4th one, it worked better but other models such as the clear version, clear material is always slightly stiffer in some ways and the company didn't really fix any of the nib toy leaking issues.

There are several different models of this toy in roughly 3 different generations as well as some extras with no print, male and female sph. Most have been pictured in my private channels. Years worth of the erotic inflatable content i have made includes this toy, but i will say, the second i can find it a predecessor i will. I was not too fond of the way the company treated the numerous issues i got with my large order of all the models made in 23. 

Nyika inflatable yeen 

This review will cover all models of the yeen and also sofi the husky. I placed my order during pre orders for this toy and have had it since the first batch was sent as well as jack darlington. Personally i have not faced any of the issues others have faced. I am not the biggest fan of the sofi design however and apparently a lot of the negative reports have come from that model which in my experience has had a bit of a stiffer finish.

The build quality itself is on par. Most issue's that arise seem to be complaints against the material being stiffer than it was expected to be on a high end mass produced toy. This has resulted in many seam tears and breaks specifically on sofi around the neck where the mane joins the lower part of the body. While this area is often difficult on any number of models it would have been expected to have more to it. 

Usually once someone knows how to deal with these areas of the toy and knows what to avoid doing with them it becomes less of an issue. Especially if you are like me, and enjoy a firm inflation these issues become more prevalent. They are easy to avoid with a small amount of experience and hh66. 

The pros: Obviously like always a super cute and cuddly design. Pouncing toys especially always get me. They are good at hugging, excellent sleeping partners because of there design they do not interfere in the "once ive fallen asleep i tend to not want this thing all over me" issue. The paws are great and went right to a place they probably shouldn't have right from the start and got everything and then some that they and i wanted out of it. 

Riding them is surprisingly less difficult on the toy then one would expect. I can put my full weight on it while it is standing and like the iw skunks and stuff it puts the mass of my center on the points of the toy where it does not stress any of the main seams. As always its also a toy with a great butt. You might not think that matters especially if you immediately install an sph but personally i like it without one and the gentile rubbing it offers is phenomenal, the legs line up with mine, it feels great and that only adds to it with an sph.

Inflatable world skunk

A stinky never looked so good! For good reason, everyone has a very positive view of this company. Inflatable world brought me a very nice Christmas. It was not my first stinky but it was the first time i actually wanted to own one and the purpose of having it was not just to mod it for someone else or try it for someone's spank bank vids. (no pun intended). 

I knew pink would be hard to get ahold of so i found an ebay seller who by no fault of there own (at least i don't think) gave me one that was definitely new in bag but had a slight defect. It has a cute face seam dimple where its like it didnt perfectly line up at the factory, almost as if it was not intended for regular stock and possible that it was sold on ebay as a full price toy coming from a known defect batch sold cheaper to that reseller. Im gonna say its fine because i still got a sealed nib toy. I paid a little more than i should have and it has a dimple on its face seam which is honestly kind of cute and helpful to tell mine apart from others. The leak is something i have not yet verified because it does "the job" and the last i had it out was in the dead of winter where the cold could have made it lose air. 

This obviously has nothing at all to do with iw but the reason i bring it up was because at this time, pink was gone, out of stock in the shop. I told iw about my experience and that i wanted a shiny black one and they offered to also sell me 2 new pink ones as well. It was very kind of the customer service rep at iw. Her name is Susanne, she is a wonderful person. 

So i finally had my stinky! In pink, shiny black, and one back up with a cute little dimple seam that may or may not have a small leak on some days from ebay. 

This is a big toy, bigger than a wolf, bigger than any toy i had up until then. It fit in the space i need it to so that was all we needed to get the full experience. It loves to be ridden, my skinny little body felt extremely safe and comforted riding this thing. The toy can ride in pouncing position easily and take a full adults weight. I did some bouncing, some uncontrolled hugging. Took it all and altho it might feel like its stressing the material it does not. 

It loves to dominate or be dominated by its rider or both, its a unique experience to have that sort of flow with a nice toy. She can be a girl, or he can be a boy or it/they can be a trans skunk squeak too it has no set of rules. Personally i like a healthy mix of all the above. The tail is often used as a way for it to hug me into it or if inflated firmly will stand up behind me. The back legs can fold down so more of the toy is touching the ground. The valves are top up types that most toys have and it takes a pretty long time to fill up but for its size a lot less time to deflate. Its the choice of toys for when i want something big and comforting. I have never been a fan of over sized toys but my big stinky is here to stay.

There is not much more i can say about some of these toys that others have not already, so this might become a little more about personal experience but i feel that matters too when reviewing toys. 

As of now most stinky's are out of stock. There is probably going to be a restock sometime in who knows when. It will happen. Just remember this is a side gig for most of these companies. 

Triakis the leopard shark

I know what you are thinking. "Why does he buy so many toys from them if he thinks badly of them". The short story there is not many places exist to get stuff like this and even less exist that exert this power dynamic nonsense. Can count on one hand the number of pool toy companies in this world who use their products as a means to bully and harass the furry community. 

Anyway, Triakis by buteo. 

The leopard shark: Triakis Semifasciata, known for there striking patterns, graceful movements, shallow water dwellers with finger print like patterns. Gentile and non aggressive. Harmless to humans. Found along the california coast and in the pacific ocean. 

Now for its inflatable form, we got the picture for what a leopard shark is. A friendly species in a group of sea creatures often know to be big and scary like the great white shark. Jaws, the Steven Spielberg thriller. Or our own childhood fascination and fear of the deep blue.

This toy is an inflatable shark that puts a spin on a classic and common design. The first thing to note is the shape and size of its dorsal fin, this sets it very far apart from any regular inflatable shark. The tail and smile make it both a realistic and fun design. Parts of it are larger to accommodate it being a pool toy and parts of it are a little different than the real life shark. Leopard sharks for instance do not have sharp teeth. 

It has a few key aspects, such as larger pelvic fins that are awesome for resting on while riding with my feet or simply rubbing up against from the bottom during a hug. 

Bearing new valve type just as flausi. Not the softest material but better for those of us who like material that isn't too soft. Some have noted it as being "too small" but i quite like the size to be exactly like this and not overly large. That was the only thing that pushed me away from iw for so long, i personally like a smaller toy.

The paint and pattern is very well done. It has a more shiny and smooth finish on the bottom and a more matte like finish from above and i mentioned the dorsal fin. Well, you can imagine how as a pool toy loving male the shape of that makes a ride... interesting to say the least. It has a tendency to rub into a certain body part and wrap around it in a way i shall cease mention of here. 

The design proves to be pretty strong but at the end of the day it would be pretty hard to screw up a shark design. I would not put it past hpi to accomplish it in the future, but for now, this shark is a hit.
