Hey, guys. I know I haven't posted on here in a while, but I've just started to get back into the swing of things. To start myself back up, I've decided to do a full, detailed review between two Sinthetics and two Reelmagik products, since I have both and since both are comparable in many aspects, which I will discuss below. I have posted a similar review in the "Sinthetics" thread but I decided to make a separate thread, so that more people could see the long-awaited comparison.
Due to a lack of a cable, I can't upload my pictures for the time being, but as soon as I get them I will edit and bump this post.

Look: The first thing I noticed, when pulling the Sinthetics soft pack from the box, was the beautiful attention to detail. The shape of the packer was vastly different to that of the Reelmagik, which I had received prior. The coloring was perfect, much more concise than the Reelmagik, and I mean this in a few ways: first of all, the base color was a perfect match for my skintone, which is saying a lot because, as a mixed man, I have a hard time finding the right "medium" tone for me, as most seem to run too dark. The Reelmagik at the time only came in three different colors, though I believe they now offer five for the basic packer. Nevertheless, the color on the Reelmagik was far, far too dark for my actual skintone, and Sinthetics had, at the time, and I believe they still do, a wider color selection.
On the color note, it is to also be noted that, while both packers are basically colored and do not contain high attention to detail, there were much more noticeable details in the Sinthetics packer. While both tote realistic forms, the Sinthetics packer has slightly-visible vein coloration, whereas the Reelmagik packer is entirely made of the same color.
The shaft of the Sinthetics packer is slightly thicker and longer than that of the Reelmagik, though both would be considered in the "average" range and none of them seem to stick out to any uncomfortable amount. However, it is to be noted that the Sinthetics packer is noticeably bigger in general size, so if that bothers you, that should be kept in mind. I am a bigger man, and so I don't tend to concern myself with things like this---however, on smaller guys, this might be a bigger issue.
The scrotum was something I really noticed on the Sinthetics packer. Whereas on the Reelmagik, the scrotum hangs evenly on both sides, the Sinthetics packer offers a more realistic form, with the right testicle hanging slightly lower than the left. This was something that jumped out at me. Again, something else to note is that the size of the Reelmagik's scrotum and general shape is a fair amount smaller than the Sinthetics, so if that bothers you keep that in mind!
Feel: Both of them, being basic packers, have a pretty simplistic feel and texture to them. The Sinthetics model is considerably softer and more flexible, which could be either nicer or worse depending on how you feel. I noticed that, while packing, the Reelmagik basic packer sits heavier in my briefs, whereas I only slightly notice the Sinthetics model. Again, this is something to consider! Personally, the Reelmagik tends to bother me by swinging uncomfortably, but the Sinthetics, for the most part, stayed more stationary. However, this might be due to a difference in clothing depending on the day, so I'll only mention it in passing.
Use: Both were absolutely perfect for packing. I have no complaints, other than what was stated above. The Reelmagik basic packer tends to fit better in packing briefs than the other due to its compact shape, however. It sits securely (albeit heavily), whereas the Sinthetics doesn't fit into the compartment as easily without adjusting the flaps.

Look: Reelmagik is on top of the market for a reason, and there's no beating the details in this prosthetic. Everything from the urethral opening, to the circumcision scar, to the pores in the skin, to the tiny blue veins all make the advanced prosthetic look absolutely amazing. The hair could at times be a nuisance, but otherwise did not interfere with the actual prosthetic much (some people, however, complain about glue getting stuck to the hair and damaging it, so bear that in mind). I did have a complaint with the color, however---while it is no one's fault other than my own for not ordering the color samples, the color came out vastly lighter than I expected it to judging by the pictures on the internet---because of that, it matched the skin on my arms as opposed to on my inner thighs, and stood out (at least, to me).
However, although it can't beat the Reelmagik in the details, the Sinthetics prosthetic isn't one to be overlooked. The color was perfect to my skin tone, and there were just as many amazing details to be noticed in this prosthetic as well! The scrotum on the Sinthetics model hangs normally as well, with the right testicle just slightly lower than the left, giving it a very authentic look. However, the scrotum itself is very bulky. Both have hard testicles inside, but the scrotum was much softer on the Reelmagik, which I liked. However, on the Reelmagik model, the scrotum was too retracted and small for my liking, which set the entire appearance of the 8" shaft off, in my opinion! The Sinthetics model seems to balance this out a bit better, even if the scrotum is a little bulky.
One of my biggest problems with the appearance of the Reelmagik, however, was with the way the actual penis sits. At resting position, fully erect, it stands outward and straight. The Sinthetics model, however, sits upright, like a natural penis. This makes for easier "tucking up" which is impossible with the Reelmagik without shifting the balls unnaturally away from the body (though, this is why they include the flex-rod, which I address below).
Feel: Both feel very realistic as far as skin goes, but they also both have very different consistencies that are difficult to explain through text. I suppose it all comes down to personal preference, though I enjoy the feel of both. One particular feature I liked was the squishiness of the head in the Reelmagik model and the feel of the balls as well. The Sinthetics skin, to me, was softer and more enjoyable.
The actual cores inside each erect prosthetic were very diferent, however. The Sinthetics model seemed too soft for anal penetration, though most likely suitable for vaginal (though I can't speak for certain, since I am in a relationship with a cis man). However, while the Reelmagik has the firmness for anal, the core is probably the biggest annoyance of this prosthetic! It's loud and crackly every time you want to shift it, which would make using it with someone who doesn't know your biological situation impossible to properly hide. It sounds similar to cracking knuckles when you shift it from "packed" position into "play" position! And even so, with an 8" shaft, packing is not really worth it.
Use: If you are set on finding a prosthetic you can attach to your body, then look no further than the Reelmagik, because Sinthetics models 7" and greater do not adhere to the body without a harness. I, however, use a tight pair of boxer briefs to achieve the same effect. I discussed most of which needed to be above, as far as both play potential and packing potential, so there's not much to add here.
FINAL VERDICT: It's really tough to say. Personally, I prefer the Sinthetics models in both varieties, but what it really comes down to is personal preference, because some points of my review might be one person's deal breaker and not another. Like I said earlier, I will include pictures later, but I hope this review helped at least some of you! If you have any questions, please let me know. I just felt the need to compare these products together to let people know what they are getting themselves into, since when I got my Sinthetics there were no reviews of them and only few on Reelmagik!
