Life at Bad Dragon

Bad Dragon was born out of a strong desire for a greater selection of fantasy adult toys to be made available to everyone. Bad Dragon's main mission is to do our part in 'making fantasies real' for individuals who want to indulge in their fantasies a little deeper. Bad Dragon was founded in June 2008 out of a shared love of all things fantasy. At the time there was a very poor selection of fantasy-themed toys available, and so the focus of enthusiasm and talent went towards filling that niche. Bad Dragon is unique in offering extensive customization of it's products; every toy is available in a choice of colors and firmnesses as well as custom color options- something which is not offered anywhere else in the adult industry. By pushing the envelope with new materials and technology, Bad Dragon has gained a reputation for producing visually appealing, robust, high-quality toys with innovative features at industry standard prices. This dedication and focus on attention to detail has made Bad Dragon the market leader in our field.
