Maker Masterlist

What is a Maker Masterlist?

A community-maintained directory cataloging every known indie fantasy toy maker, including their product lines, materials, customization options, price ranges, and current shop status.

What Is the Community's Directory?

The maker masterlist is a crowdsourced spreadsheet or database that attempts to catalog every independent fantasy toy studio in operation. These lists are maintained by dedicated community volunteers on platforms like Reddit, Discord, and specialized forums. A typical masterlist entry includes the maker's name, website URL, product categories (dildos, penetrables, packers), materials used (platinum-cure silicone, TPE), customization options available, approximate price range, current TAT (turn-around time), and shop status (open, closed, on hiatus).

Why Do Masterlists Matter?

The fantasy toy market is overwhelmingly indie. There is no Amazon-style centralized marketplace where you can browse all available products in one search. Makers operate independent shops across Etsy, their own websites, and social media storefronts. Without a masterlist, discovering new makers means relying on word-of-mouth recommendations, social media algorithms, and forum posts. The masterlist solves this by giving collectors a single reference point to discover makers they have never heard of, compare offerings across studios, and identify which shops are currently accepting orders.

What Data Does a Masterlist Include?

A well-maintained masterlist is a goldmine of data. Beyond basic shop information, the best lists include columns for firmness options, split firmness availability, cumtube options, glow-in-the-dark and UV-reactive pours, customs opening schedules, and links to maker social media accounts. Some lists use color coding to indicate shop status at a glance: green for open, yellow for limited availability, red for closed. The most comprehensive masterlists run to hundreds of entries spanning makers from every size tier — from one-person garage operations to established studios with multi-month order queues.

How Are Lists Kept Current?

The biggest challenge is accuracy. The indie maker scene is volatile — shops open, close, rebrand, and go on hiatus constantly. A maker listed as "open" last month may have paused orders today. Community volunteers update masterlists regularly, but always verify shop status directly before placing an order. The masterlist is your discovery tool and starting point, not the final word. Cross-reference with the maker's own website or social media for current availability. For a curated selection of verified fantasy toys ready to ship today, browse LustMonster.com.
