- Why is Bad Dragon so expensive?
- A platinum-cure silicone toy is poured by hand into a mould one at a time, and Bad Dragon's standard route is made to order: the toy is poured in Arizona after you buy it, by someone on US wages, alongside a smaller ready-made shelf. Their listed prices across the 70 sculpts we track run $45.50–$370, and the indie makers on this page overlap that range at both ends. Size is the biggest single lever on price at every maker here: the same sculpt in XL costs several times what its Mini costs, so the useful comparison runs size against size.
- Is there a UK or EU alternative to Bad Dragon?
- Sinnovator pours in the UK and prices in pounds, with 53 sculpts on our shelf; to a UK address that is a domestic order with no import charges. 7 of the other makers here pour in the USA and ship internationally, so a UK or EU delivery arrives as a customs import: carriage, import VAT and any duty are charged before it reaches you. To an EU address a UK parcel is an import too. The sculpts, sizes and firmness options sit on the same shelf either way; the landed price and the wait are what change.
