Hi all!
So several years ago I had a Meiki ZXY and I think a YJY, and Maria Ozawa. They were fun, but I moved a few times and they eventually got worn down and raggedy so I discarded them. I've been curious for a bit recently since TD was (and maybe still is?) the vendor that lists the best toys for guys out there. So here we are.
My questions are-
1) Are those models from the past still some of the "best"? I.e. has the technology or material and build quality improved or changed all that much over the last ten years? I see these new brands like Tomax or MagicEyes, are they somehow an improvement? Give me the low down please. Back in the day stuff like FL was "lame" and these niche products were better but I haven't used one in a long time.
2) Does anyone know if it's possible to get a custom made with the quality level these toys are crafted at? I follow a model or two that may be willing to actually have a custom done, which is a pipedream but I thought I'd ask if this is actually a thing these days?
Thanks all for any insight.

In some cases, I've heard that the production of those Meiki greats have deteriorated. If you read the reviews, newer runs have more issues and cut corners. I am a newbie, so I'm unaware of their past quality.
There's a lot that could be said about different companies because they're innovating in different ways.
NPG is experimenting with triple layer holes-- the point being to have a soft interior with tightness, yet durable exterior. I enjoy those and would say that they're the most exciting developments. Tomax has a lot of interesting materials. I don't know that they're new to the scene, but they're worth giving a shot due to the sheer amount of variety. Pretty sure Magic Eyes is also a bastion of the industry and is just known for their consistent quality. La Bocca Della Verita has rave reviews, so I'd at least give that a shot if you want a bj toy.
All that being said, I still think toys like the ZXY and YJY hold a special niche. There's a reason they're still top reviewed of every US site. These companies are putting out new products, but at the end of the day you're not going to get something groundbreaking unless you get something mechanically innovative like the VORZE A10 Piston. There's definitely ways these toys can be improved, but it's largely marginal and based on personal preference. For most of us here, we start with a ZXY or YJY and every future purchase is evaluated by comparing it to them, which I think is a massive testament to how good their design is.
As for customs, I highly doubt it unless you're willing to front production costs for one of these companies ($$$$$). I'd love to be proven wrong about this, but your best bet would be for them to become a famous JAV/American porn actress and get approached by NPG or Fleshlight for a deal.
