Large Archer + Moveable Testicles + Painted

When I heard New York Toy Collective was dropping a painted version of their classic packer, the Archer (and Pierre), I was hyped! This packer’s a staple for a reason: it’s been in the game for over a decade, made of 100% silicone, hails from a queer-owned company, and is as dependable as your favorite pair of socks.

The Archer I’m diving into today is the latest model, decked out with hand-painted details and, wait for it, movable testicles. Yep, you heard that right—ball action included. Now, they warned me it’d be bigger to handle those moving parts, but when I unboxed it, whoa, it was like meeting a surprise guest at a party. It’s so big, I almost thought they were upsizing the whole lineup, but fear not—this epic size is reserved just for the movable testicle edition. Phew!

Keep in mind, this review’s all about the Large Painted Archer with Movable Testicles. If you’re eyeing the regular-sized Archer, it’s painted too but without the jiggly bits.

The Not-so-Great

• The Base – The flat area that would traditionally be up against your body is a little sticky. If you have pets, their fur will stick to it.
• Size – When I say it’s big, I really mean it….. Just wait till you see the packing photos below.

Unboxing

NYTC uses these very nice branded bags for their prosthetics:

Let me walk you through my rollercoaster of emotions when I first laid eyes on this packer. I pulled it out of the packaging and my initial thought was, “Whoa, did they super-size this thing? But hey, the color’s pretty cool!” Curiosity got the best of me, so I fetched my trusty old Archer for comparison—and bam! Talk about a size shock. There’s a huge difference!

Honestly, it freaked me out a bit because the original Archer’s size has always been spot-on in my book. Making it bigger seemed like a risky move, like trying to fit a king-size bed in a studio apartment. Later, I learned it’s only this big to give those movable testicles some wiggle room. But even then, I couldn’t shake the feeling that it’s just too darn big.

Each shipping box and customs form is different depending on the company. If you are unsure if the company you are ordering from has discrete shipping, be sure to contact them prior to ordering.

Color

The new Painted Archer with movable testicles now comes in four different skin tone shades, freshly hand-painted for added detail to this already beloved packer. There aren’t many online photos showing off all the colors just yet. Lucky for you, I’ve got one of them right here:

As for the choices, here are the four options, each with its own base color. I wish I could show you what they look like painted, but alas, we’ll have to use our imaginations for now!

Skin Tones:

Chocolate, Caramel, Hazelnut, Cashew

Size

The Archer usually comes in 2 main sizes, small (4”)  and regular (5.25”). This new size, which I will call “large” is MUCH bigger.

This packer comes in 3 different sizes. Small, Medium, Large. I feel like Goldilocks a little right now because the small one is way to small, the large is to big, but the medium is justttttt right. I know, I know, it’s corny. But I’m 5’6 and weigh around 165lbs, just to give you an idea. Don’t worry though, I compare all the sizes in the “Packing” section so you can see for yourself!

Material and Feel

Let’s break down the Archer: it’s crafted from 100% silicone, known for its soft and skin-like texture. Now, unlike some, there’s no dual-density action here, so you won’t feel like the skin’s doing the salsa. But fear not, the silicone quality is top-notch and seriously skin-like.

Here’s where it gets interesting: the scrotum comes with movable balls—yes, they move! It’s like having your own little stress reliever attached. They’re delightfully squishy and just plain fun to fidget with. Thanks to these movable marvels, the scrotum does bulk up a bit. Don’t worry though, it’s all in proportion—the shaft to scrotum ratio holds steady. But let me tell you, those balls really take the whole package up a notch!

Packing

Oh boy, buckle up for this section because I’ve got feelings! This packer? Let’s just say it’s not exactly the discreet type. Trying to pack with it was like trying to smuggle five hotdogs in my pants—I wish I were exaggerating, but hold onto your hats for the visual.

Seriously though, it’s much larger and packing with it? Not exactly a seamless experience. I’m 5’6″ and 165 lbs, and let’s just say this packer might work better for someone taller and bigger. Personally, it just didn’t vibe with my vibe. For comparison, I’ve included photos of how the Regular and Small sizes pack up, so you can see the difference for yourself:

Here is a comparison of the Small, Regular, and Large:

Real Feel Test™

After extensive research, I give Archer the official thumbs up on our Real Feel Test. Not only does Archer feel great when it is caressed through pants, but it even passes the underwear grab test. It looks great in underwear, pants, sweatpants, and shorts.

It honestly feels really good? Nice and squishy….But it is big, so if someone goes to grab it, it’s going to feel like you have a semi-erect penis. That could be a good thing though. For me, not so much.

Cleaning and Care

I recommend cleaning this product before and after each use. 

The 100% silicone component makes this packer easy to clean and sterilize. The easiest way to clean this product is with hot soapy water. If you need to sterilize this product, I usually recommend putting it in a boiling pot of water, however. Because this one is PAINTED and has moving parts (the balls on the inside of the scrotum), I would avoid this just in case.

If you find that the prosthetic is tacky/sticky after cleaning it, I always recommend using cornstarch (or other rejuvenating powders) to maintain a smooth and silky texture. If you have one of the darker skin tones and you don’t want to put white cornstarch on it, add a little coco powder to the cornstarch to offset the color.

*Please do not use talcum powder (most commonly found in baby powder), it has been associated with different types of cancers, mostly ovarian cancer. We have a full article on the dangers of talcum power here.

Storage

I recommend using the original packaging or a natural canvas bag. Place this product in a cool, dry, and dark place, like a dresser drawer. Do not store it with other similar-material products as those eventually can start to morph together, which is really not fun. Sometimes, these products secrete an oily texture and a canvas bag will help absorb this moisture. If you do not store your packer properly, overtime it can secrets oils and eventually lose its shape and size (it will become smaller).

Small Tip: Add a little bit of cornstarch to this product before storing it in a bag. This will help its life and longevity.

Final Thoughts

I’ve gotta admit, I’m a sucker for the original size of the Archer and Pierre. So when I opened the box and saw what seemed like a supersized version, I had a mini heart attack. But fear not, false alarm! Turns out, NYTC’s just offering a larger size alongside the classics—and that’s actually pretty cool.

Now, this bigger size might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but hey, diversity is the spice of life. There are folks out there on the lookout for a generously-sized packer that’s also easy on the eyes, and this one fits the bill nicely.

Overall, it’s a solid packer. The painted detailing? A work of art. And those testicles? Nice and squishy—I mean, who doesn’t enjoy a quality set of balls to fidget with, right? Haha!
