I'm curious to see how this turned out. Was the next one softer?

I'm wondering too. My johnny is just a tiny bit firmer than my other vixskin toy.

Real nice all around with pretty tight quality control

Oops, I forgot all about this...

As mentioned, I did order another, and while my request wasn't received before the order processed and shipped... I was fortunate enough that the Lonestar I received was much softer, like the Johnny I had.

I later got another Bandit, since my first one was a little mistreated in storage... and it was definitely firmer than Johnny or the new Lonestar.

So it looks like some variation does happen.
