A member here at Eden must have seen from my posts that I own both the Bandit and Hot Rod, and she sent me a message asking for a comparison of the two.
I figured I'd share than comparison for others here as well, just in case someone was considering both.
Both are nice toys. Hot Rod is thicker and more textured. Bandit is longer, but slimmer and smoother overall, aside from the head ridge.
Both are dual density, but the outer Vixskin layer of Bandit is a good bit softer/squishier. Hot Rod has a softer outer layer compared to it's inner core, but the outer layer is firmer and not as squishy as Viskin.
Aside from the head ridge, which is made of the very soft Vixskin so it's not unpleasant in any way, the rest of Bandit is pretty smooth. There is some mild vein texture, but the material is so soft it's not really noticeable.
The Hot Rod, which does not have a pronounced heard ridge at all, still has much more texture due to the veins/ridges all along the shaft, which are composed of firmer material than Vixskin, so they're able to actually be felt.
I took some measurements using a tailor's tape.
Hot Rod
Insertable Length: about 6-1/2"
Girth at head: 5-3/8"
Girth mid-shaft: 5-1/2"
Girth at base: 6"
Bandit
Insertable Length: about 7-1/2"
Girth at head: 5"
Girth mid-shaft: 5-1/4"
Girth at base: 5-3/8"
