Title: The FX Store
Post by: Evan on November 12, 2010, 11:37:56 AM
When I was looking for different things for Halloween a friend suggest The FX Store by Reel Magik (they sell really good special effects prosthetics). They also evidently make 2 versions of a penis prosthesis. Has anybody else seen this, heard of someone buying this? At 6in or 8in it's a little BIG.. and honestly the 6in from some angles looks like it has a tumor in the middle and while I know penises come in all shapes the head shape is ridiculous.. but they do custom orders and I have yet to find another prothesis that looks more like skin. So it might be worth looking into a custom order. So has anyone heard anything about them before? (http://www.reelmagik.com/REELMAGIK/STORE-Medical_Prosthetics.html (http://www.reelmagik.com/REELMAGIK/STORE-Medical_Prosthetics.html))

I've never heard of them before. Compared to some of the other super realistic packers out there, this one is kinda funky looking, I do agree with you :P

But it's a pack and play one, which is a plus. And man, the skin detail, it's hard to tell it's not real! As funky as it is, it's still really realistic.

If you're interested in one that's smaller, LolaJake has a few that are smaller, at 5". Some come with 3D, not flat balls and some with flat ones. Hair fx is 75$ extra.

EDIT. Read the fine print at the bottom of the reelmagik page, and it says that it is NOT a pack and play. Just positionable. :\

I found that a while back myself while looking for Halloween stuff.  I thought it was pretty cool, but I don't know anything about it other than what the website says, I'm afraid.

Hello,

I was searching the web and happened to come upon this post.  I actually have purchased 2 of the penis prosthetics from REELMAGIK...I initially purchased the 6" and liked it so much I bought the 8" one as well.  I have to say I absolutely love them.  I have purchased quite a few brands of packers, including one from Lolajake, which I thought was terrible(too shiny & mushy), and the ones that REELMAGIK makes are unbelievable.  You literally cannot tell that it is not real, even when examining it up close!  The color and detail are amazing, and they feel so real too!  The testicles are actually floating in a liquid gel, so they move around like real balls.  If you get the one with hair, it's also pretty amazing...it's punched into the silicone so that it looks as though it's actually growing out of the skin. 

I'm not sure why you think they look strange...maybe it's the pictures, but they look like real penises to me, and I've seen enough of them to know...lol.

The only cons is that they don't give you enough glue, so you have to order xtra.  I also wish they had an STP version, but they told me in an email that they are working on adding that as an option, as well as a smaller version...I'm hoping for a 4" one, that wil be my next purchase.

Oh, and just an FYI, they work great for play too.  They don't recommend it on the site, but I use them both for that.  They are really durable.  Just thought I'd add 2 cents.

And cost an arm leg and torso to get.

I just thought the degree of the bulge in the middle was odd looking, but penises come in all shapes and sizes lol. It wouldn't steer me away from buying one of these, if the quality of the FX store was higher than say lolajake.

You think lolajake is too squishy? I know they have to be a bit squishy because they're pack and play, so they can be worn all the time, but that's interesting. Makes sense though. It's hard to find reviews of them, I didn't look hard but I only found reviews of their packers on youtube.. Note, lolajake now makes matte finish on their products, they're no longer shiny.

Kinda worries me that they don't recommend it for play. Isn't that what it's for? Why would they make an erect penis prosthetic and make it unable to have sex with? Unless I'm misunderstanding you.

it's a flaccid prosthetic with an optional flexible rod inside. not sure how firm it is when you bend the rod upwards - from what i've heard about the lola jakes, the "erection" will still be quite....flexible.. :-\
Title: Re: The FX Store
Post by: Morgan on January 06, 2011, 03:10:10 PM
Ew I didn't know lolajake's rods were flexible. That makes no sense. Augh why can't there just be a prosthetic that doesn't have issues lol!
Title: Re: The FX Store
Post by: kyril on January 06, 2011, 03:41:35 PM
The rods should be flexible. Actual erect penises are quite flexible - the bigger they are, the more they can bend and compress. They're just soft flesh engorged with fluid; they don't feel like a dildo, and a good prosthesis won't either.
Title: Re: The FX Store
Post by: Morgan on January 06, 2011, 04:43:02 PM
Yeah but not too flexible. Emil makes it seem like it's to the point of it being bad :/ -shrug-
Title: Re: The FX Store
Post by: Mikey on January 08, 2011, 07:08:34 PM
The flexibility of the flex rod is not what you think...it will bend into the shape you want and hold it.  It kind of has a ribbed feel to it under the skin, and from what some guys have told me, this is sort of what a real penis feels like when it is hard, and they do bend to some degree like Kyril says.

Morgan, I use mine for play, but I ALWAYS use a condom!  They don't recommend using them for play because of the type of silicone they use apparently, but I emailed them and asked about the condom and they sort of hinted to me that using a condom with them would be ok.  I did a lot of research, and not all silicones are approved safe for sex so I understand why they say they arent for that...they are just covering their butts and protecting their customers.  From what I've read, you can use just about anything (within reason) for play as long as you cover it with a condom or saran wrap...veggies, fruit, household items.  You just have to be smart and be safe in the way you do things.

can you compare it to the mr. right or gv soft pack in how heavy it is and what it feels like to the touch? in case you tried either of these before...

what i hated about the mr. right (which is the only silicone packer i owned) was that if felt so unnatural compared to the gv soft pack, and the veins and glans looked super unrealistic as well. the gv soft pack feels pretty much like human skin when dusted in corn starch (i mean someone gave it a .... without noticing it wasn't the real thing), whereas the mr. right just feels like a rubber cock...
Title: Re: The FX Store
Post by: Mikey on January 10, 2011, 08:43:15 PM
Emil...I have felt the GV soft pack as a friend of mine has it, but I honestly have never used it.  The feel is similar on the REELMAGIK prosthetic, in that it feels much like real skin.  The weight is also pretty similar from what I remember.  I have not seen the Mr. Right up close, or ever felt it, but in pictures I don't think it looks that great.  The REELMAGIK penis has a very slight sheen to it...pretty much the perfect amount, and I have dusted mine with some powder after washing, although it didn't really need it...it doesn't get that sticky feeling the way some packers do.  The veining, glans and detail on the REELMAGIK penis is amazing...it looks so real.  Most of the packers and even the so-called realistic STP's have veins that are just painted on and look so fake, plus most of them are very green.  The prosthetics I got have veins that are the prefect color, plus they look like they are actually under the skin...the enhanced detail version even has these faint tiny little purple veins.  I have seen real penises up close, and like I said...these things are so close you can't tell the difference.  I'm so excited about the upcoming STP option...I can't wait to get one and try it at a urinal!  I already wore the 6" one I have to the Y and got changed in the locker room and purposely took off my underwear...no one could tell I didn't have a real penis and it was great!  Hope that helps.

Would be great to have something that would pass in the locker room.  Does the glue you use hold for a long time? Do you need to shave the area before using the glue?  Have you showered with it on and does washing the area around it cause the glue to losen?
Title: Re: The FX Store
Post by: Mikey on January 11, 2011, 06:43:16 PM
Yes, the silicone glue they include is very strong, and holds for a very long time.  They recommend shaving, or at least trimming the area very short (I just trim it real short), but what's great is that if you get the one with the hair, you can leave your own hair around the area a little longer and it blends together perfectly.  I have showered with it on, and also went swimming and it stayed on the whole time.  If you get the one with the hair, just don't wash the part with the hair...if you pull on it too roughly, they warn that some hairs could possibly pull out, but so far I haven't had any problems.

I have no experience with this product and have only been following this thread but...I can answer these questions.

If it's truly medical-grade adhesive I honestly wouldn't worry in the least about it holding for quite a long time even with showering and washing around it. Medical-grade adhesive really doesn't "loosen" in the way that people typically think of glue/adhesive loosening -- if you don't use the proper solvent to remove it, it takes well over a week (I can't give more accurate than that because I don't remember what date it finally came out, but at the same time that was with picking at it). There's really no need to worry about medical-grade adhesive: that stuff will hold.
Title: Re: The FX Store
Post by: kyril on January 26, 2011, 10:25:28 AM
On the flex rod: Can it be inserted while the prosthetic is glued on? How? Can that be done without loosening the glue? (I understand the adhesive is vey strong, but I imagine you'd have to kind of peel it back to get to the hole to insert the rod, and...)

Also, does the flex rod hurt (stab you or something) if you use it for penetration? I'm trying to imagine using something with an insertable rod, and...I don't know, it just sounds painful.

WOW, those look awesome! I do wish the came a little smaller though.  I'm definitely putting it on my list of things to try if I ever have enough money for something like that.  Certainly cheaper than the $1000+ ones.

I look forward to hearing answers to some of the other questions about this product.

Post by: okydoky on January 28, 2011, 03:07:45 PM
OMG, these seem SWEET! Hopefully, by the time I can afford it (probably not for a couple of years), they'll perfect it (i.e. have more size options and a working STP option)... And it'd be nice if it was able to be used for play safely, but hey, if it works with a condom, that's fine :)

It'd be cool if someone was able to make a dick that can "shrink" and "stretch" like a real one - i.e. buy one that's say 4" flaccid, but maybe 6" or 7" erect or something. I don't know, maybe some sort of material that stretches with heat and pressure, so that when you rub your cock enough that it gets hot it would start stretching and lifting into en erect position. But, now I'm just dreaming. I don't know if such a material even exists. What would seem the most possible is if there are some little tubes or something (which would be the "veins") that could have this "expanding" idea and cause it to be erect. I don't know. Just bouncing thoughts around. I know it's probably not possible, or at least not affordable to make - since I don't even know if such a material exists, and if it did, it'd take so much money/effort to make. Plus, if it wasn't "perfect" maybe you'd have issues of getting an erection from it being too hot and and rubbing against your clothes or something and causing it to "expand" :D That wouldn't be nice - say you're at the gym..or running to work because you're late and whoops you get an erection :D

Mikey, when you say they don't give you enough glue, do you mean, not enough for one application? Or not enough for multiple applications?

I'm about to buy one of the 6 inch prosthetics and would just like to know in advance so I can buy more glue at the same time if I need to.

the prosthetic is simply stunning absolutely beautiful. better than any other prosthetic out there. ftm pros-way to heavy and unrealistic, lolajake-looks rele fake, peels alot, REELMAGIK-gorgeous product. i just got mine today. i cant get it to stay on for the life of me. i dont know why. they glue they give you is like water. consistency wise. and they only send you like 1oz so its not going to last very long as far as the # of applications goes. the cleanser they include is just alcohol in a handy lil spray bottle. the remover is like the mineral oil remover that ive had from Factor 2 but it seems they add some soap to theres(reelmagik). i have a video on my youtube channel ( R3iNcaRn4tii0N ) showing the prosthetic. i have pictures of me wearing it. if you want pix shoot me an email or i will be uploading them to xtube as well prolly tomorrow sometime. i read somewhere that food safe epoxy helps it stick better and i will be going to homedepot to get some tomorrow. hopefully that works.

That's awesome I just watched your video on it. It's nice to see an actual video of someone's order. I am interested to see what it looks like when you're packing with it too.

Thanks so much for writing this review and making the video man!!  ;D  It's great to finally see a video of it.  ;D  I really want to get this one.  ;D  I do have a few questions about it though, if you don't mind.

I know from my email to the company that they don't have 3D testicles, but the testicles do seem to be pretty round.  How do they compare to Lola Jake's 3D testicles in terms of shape?

Since you said the glue isn't very good,  :(  but you also have pics of you wearing it, how long did the glue last??  Is it better or worse then the glue from Factor II for Lola Jake?  Do you think the glue from Factor II would hold it better?  I really hope that you can figure something out about the glue situation. Otherwise, if it doesn't stay on well, I think I'll hold off on buying it until they make a better glue.  :'( :'( :'(

Is it a lot heavier than a Lola Jake?  Sorry about all the comparsion questions to Lola Jake, it's just that I have the Sam Plus and was just wondering how they compare.

Also how hard is it exactly?  Do you think it would be hard enough for anal sex?

As for pics, that'd be awesome.  Will you be uploading the same pics to XTube that you will be emailing?  What's your XTube?  I also second JayUnit and would like to see a pic of you packing with it in pants too, if it's not too much trouble?

And thanks again man!

the flex rod is in the shaft 24/7. you bend it to get erect and bend it to go "limp" to pack with. they only give you like 1oz of glue so its not going to last very long. im not having any luck with their adhesive either. its consistency is like water. and once on your body and picks up temperature it feels like pomade if you guys now what that its. not strong ->-bleeped-<- at all. i found somewhere that a guy mixed food safe epoxy with the glue when he put it on and its supose to make it stronger. im bought to go to the store now to get some. i only got my prothetic from reelmagik yesterday so it might take practice. i do have 2 david models from lolajake, which sux by the way. the glue i got from factor2 works pretty well. however i cant try it out on my reelmagik bcuz im out and i dont want to spend $50-60 to get a new bottle if its not even going to help with adhering the reelmagik, ya know. so im not sure what to do. i figure the food safe epoxy is prolly easiest and hopefully cheap haha. so well see. i have videos on youtube as well...channel name: R3iNcaRn4tii0N

If the food safe epoxy doesn't work, do you then plan on getting more glue from Factor II? 

Are there any reviews from the guy who mixed the epoxy with the glue?

As a Special Effects makeup artist, might I suggest using a product called Pros-Aide.

It is a medical grade adhesive formulated for long wear and durability.
It's been a staple of the effects world for decades, and is routinely used in medical prosthetic applications.
It's formulated also to be non-irritating and works on nearly all skin types.

http://www.pros-aide.com/original.htm (http://www.pros-aide.com/original.htm)

Also, to remove, you'd have to look into Pros-Aide remover:
http://www.pros-aide.com/remover.htm (http://www.pros-aide.com/remover.htm)

Both products are non-toxic and safe for use on sensitive skin.

-Ricci

[edit] Also, before you take to using Pros-Aide, you'll need to shave or Veet/Nair your downstairs mixup the night before.
That will ensure that you get a tight, secure bond.
Also, it has to be de-haired in advance, because you don't really want to apply Pros-Aide to freshly shaved skin.
