John Thomas Arnie’s Extremity Fisting Dildo Review

Tigerlily’s review of the John Thomas Arnie’s Extremity Fisting Dildo (small size/10-inch, medium firmness)

Put your hand up (!) if you want to experience being fisted, but don’t have a willing partner. Good news: Arnie’s here to help!

Who’s Arnie? In short, he’s a fisting dildo. A zombie fist, I’d say, at least in this style. Available in four sizes, two densities, and a selection of marbled colours, you’re sure to find the perfect forearm to test your limits.

Packaging and Contents

John Thomas Arnie's Extremity Fisting Dildo Review

John Thomas Toys ships all orders in a plain and well-taped brown box, so no worries about a box arriving with “FISTING DILDO” plastered on the sides. Your toy will be wrapped in a thin plastic cover to ensure hygiene (though you’ll want to rinse it first, anyway, as it’s covered in release powder), and a small sticker on the packaging to indicate the size and firmness, so you can verify your order before opening it.

Also supplied is a Vac-U-Lock suction cup adaptor, which slots into the base of Arnie’s forearm for use in the shower or other flat surfaces. This is a new style adaptor, made of thick PVC. It seems to work a lot more effectively than their old flimsy rubber design, which tended to warp over time and lose its suction. So that’s a welcome change. I also tried it out with some of the larger John Thomas Toys I have, and had no problem keeping them locked tight onto a shower tile during use. If anything, it was a battle to remove the thing when my hands were covered in lube.

Size and Dimensions of Arnie’s Extremity

I opted to review the “small” size of Arnie’s Extremity, because even that’s rather girthy, and I’m a complete beginner when it comes to fisting. For a real-world comparison, my wife’s hand is slightly larger than this. On the other hand (hah!), Arnie’s forearm is well above average for a small human. It really is a muscly beast.

That’s not that I’ve tried fitting her hand in either, but merely to say the Small size is slightly smaller than an adult woman. If you’re going to play out a fantasy with this toy, Small is decidedly gnomish or goblin-esque. I’d recommend buying Medium if you want the closest size to an adult human. Though as I say, this is plenty big enough for some beginner training.

Even in Small, Arnie’s Extremity weighs a hefty 638g (1.4lbs), and features 10 inches of insertable length. As you’d expect, the circumference varies throughout, extending to 7 inches at the widest point of the knuckles before tapering in a little at the wrist, then expanding back to 10.5 inches at the bottom of the forearm.

There are four sizes available. Medium takes the weight up to 1125g; Large to 1800g; and X-Large to a mind-blowing 2675g. The girthiest part of the fist is then 8 inches in circumference on the Medium; 10 inches on the Large; and 11 inches for the X-Large. They should probably have just sold Arnie according to the equivalent fantasy creature size: goblin, human, half-giant, and ogre.

Even if you’re experienced with larger toys, I’d suggest perhaps one size down compared to normal. I understand why John Thomas Toys sized it this way, because a fist any smaller would have been obscene, but it’s still larger than average compared to their other toys.

I also chose the Medium firmness (the other option is Soft), because there’s nothing worse than trying to shove a hand made of jelly up your bum. Unless you have a specific reason to opt for Soft (such as getting past the sigmoid bend for serious depth play, or because you really like the idea of being fisted by a gelatinous cube), I’d recommend always getting the Medium firmness for ease of use.

Design and Colour

There are a few colourations of Arnie available, and I opted for this design mainly because it was unique. In hindsight, it’s a bit …putrid-looking, like Arnie is actually an Incredible Goblin Hulk that’s dipped his hand in a vat of Tango-man entrails and then attempted to repaint his dungeon walls blue.

And you know what—I actually love the colour. It could almost do double duty as a Halloween prop. Just pray the kids don’t look too hard at that zombie hand coming up out of the ground.

Like most John Thomas Toys dildos, Arnie’s Extremity is equipped with a Vac-U-Lock-compatible cavity on the base. This means you can connect it securely to the supplied suction cup adaptor, strap-on harness, or fucking machine.

What’s It Like to Use?

I could state the bleedin’ obvious and say it’s like being fisted, but you probably want more than that, and I couldn’t actually truthfully tell you that given that I’ve never been fisted.

For me, Arnie isn’t a toy to mount on the fucking machine and be relentlessly plowed by; it’s a slow, careful experience.

That said, I found the small size relatively easy to conquer. With an initial smooth insertion, it tapers outwards quickly but not uniformly like a cone shape, so the overall stretch is less that you might expect. There’s a little forgiveness in there; right up until you hit the joint of the thumb. I found it stuck out just so much to be a little painful. Not enough to stop me in my tracks, but enough to let me know when I was up to the knuckle and then past it. That’s the grittiest point of insertion, and that’s where you’ll feel it the most.

From there’s it’s another little stretch, then his hand is in (it’s his right hand, in case you were wondering). You get some respite at the wrist, but the feeling of fullness is akin to an inflatable plug. When you’re ready to continue, you’ll find the overall girth grows again quickly, offering an even greater challenge; but at this point, it’s a slow, restrained stretch with no unexpected surprises and a more uniform expansion.

Who is Arnie’s Extremity For?

Of course, a dildo can’t actually replicate the feeling of being fisted by a real-life partner—but this is as close as you’ll get. In the Small size that we tested, it’s much less of a challenge, but still a workout. It’s a good first step and training aid for if you want to save your poor hole for the real thing. If you’re using this as practice before the main event, know that if you can conquer the Medium size of Arnie’s Extremity, you’ll have no problems with an actual human fist.

9/10: fists in the air for this one.
