I really have nothing bad to say about the Goodfella. I was a little nervous when purchasing him after the Tantus VIP failed, but enough research on Eden lead me to the perfect dildo for my wife. Soft yet firm, perfect size with moveable balls, and he fits right in!

Pros
Body safe silicone, sterilizable for sharing, not extremely firm.
Cons
No lifetime warranty, must store up-right in container, doesn't help around the house.
A silicone dual density dildo, oh the possibilities that run through my mind. The main reason this was purchased was for vaginal use on my wife with the Goodfella in my hand, but there are many other uses possible that I would love to try. I could put this in the strap-on and have sex with my wife to give my penis a break. There are also other strap-on options available. Strapping it onto my thigh and having my wife grind away, getting a face harness and having my wife grind away right in front of my eyes, or even strapping it onto my hand so I don't have to grip it the entire time would be fine. My wife could even strap this on and peg my behind! Since it is made out of silicone it is safe for all of the uses, and even sharing between partners, with no worries about safety since silicone is fully sterilizable.
The Goodfella is made out of Vixen's Vixskin material. This is dual density silicone, which is somewhat soft on the outside, with a firm silicone core on the inside. This is great because it is not really firm and unrealistic, but it is still a very safe and sterilizable material, perfect for sharing between partners or orifices. In reference, the Goodfella is not as firm as the Tantus VIP. That toy is slightly larger, but was extremely firm and unyielding. After multiple attempts with the VIP, and plenty of warm-up, my wife was never able to take it comfortably. We found a good temporary toy that was very close in size to my own penis but was slightly too soft in the Doc Johnson UR3 Ballsy. That toy, while very easy and comfortable for my wife to take, the material was not body safe, so we had to use a condom with it. After we discovered that my wife had latex allergies, we decided to ditch condoms all together (too many UTI's), and the the Ballsy never came out again. But this is where the Goodfella came in. The first time I squeezed it, it was firmer than I thought it would be, but no where near as firm as the VIP. And both times so far that we have used it, my wife has had wonderful orgasms. This was a great purchase and well worth its cost. Since the Goodfella is made out of silicone, it is important to only use water based lube. Silicone lube can damage the outer surface of the Goodfella and cause it to become sticky.
After having read about dual density silicone, I knew this is what the next dildo would have to be. Except I had to choose which one to order and one that was similar in size to my own penis. Eventually I settled on the Vixskin Goodfella. I choose this one for a few reasons. First off, according to the online specs, I figured the size would be spot on, in diameter along with the length. Then add in the balls that if worn in a harness would still slap against my wife, and I figured I found the perfect dildo. And it is very close to being the perfect dildo. While Edens' page says that the dildo is an 1 3/4 inch, it is closer to an 1 1/2 at the base and a 1 1/4 just under the head. So it is slightly smaller than my own penis. The length is 7 inches total, with the balls being an inch away from the base. While I do wish it was slightly larger, I decided to not order the Lonestar or Johnny in fears of them being too large and un-useable like the Tantus VIP.
The balls are very soft, like they are only made from the outer silicone material, but they do not sag when the Goodfella is sitting on his base. The balls measure 2 3/4 inch wide, they come out 1 1/2 inch from the shaft, and have a thickness of of 1 1/4 inch. They have some skin detailing on them, with a vein running in between them. Up the shaft, there are a few veins throughout it, with skin that looks like it was circumcised at the top under the head. The front of the head has a ridge that sticks out a 1/4 inch from the shaft, and there is a crease down the backside of the head.
Since the balls on the Goodfella are not part of the base, for strap-on use, Vixen made a unique base. Their base is somewhat rectangular, and to get the base into a strap-on, you squeeze the front and back of the base down until you can get it in. It is pretty easy to flex the front and back of the base down at the same time, but then it quickly springs back into a flat position, perfect for sitting up-right or for comfortable sitting in a harness.
So far, each time I have pulled out the Goodfella, it has been a wonderful experience for my wife. He is always ready for duty being stored upright in the plastic clamshell case in which he was delivered to us, and after a small amount of Sliquid H2O applied, he is ready to please the wife. Since he is on the smaller size, I never have to worry about a lot of warm-up, and he is also a great size in order to please my wife after I have orgasmed. So far the Goodfella has pleased my wife being thrust with my hands, and also with her thrusting him herself. We have used it in both "missionary" and "doggy style", and neither time has the slight curve caused any discomfort. And with the balls being mounted slightly up the shaft, this allows for an easy handhold along with the balls having some nice movement for slapping against my wife, which drives her nuts!
For the most part, my wife and I have purchased only silicone toys besides a few here and there. After being on Eden for a few months, I discovered dual density silicone toys, and became interested. This toy is well worth the extra cost. You get a flexible and slightly squeezable toy that is body safe and fully sterilizable. So far we have only used it vaginally, so after we are done, I wash it in warm water with anti-bacterial soap. For a more thorough cleaning for sharing between partners or after anal play, you can boil it for 3 to 5 minutes, wash it in the top rack of the dishwasher with no soap, or use a 10% bleach solution. When it is done being cleaned and nice and dry, you should store it back in its original container to protect it from other toys. Not only does silicone and lower grades of toys not play together well, but with the dual density silicone, it can develop an indention if it or another toy is resting against it. So after I am done cleaning, I put it back in its original rectangle container and leave it sitting up right. This is not a problem for me because we have a play room now, but if you need to be discrete, this can make it harder to hide your Goodfella.
The packaging was nice and simple. It came in a clear, plastic, re-sealable clam shell container. It has a small amount of information on it, and I have been using it for storage. On it, it mentions that the Goodfella does not come with a warranty, and this is most likely do to its balls and how with a lot of rough pulling, that they could get damaged. This doesn't bother me or my wife one bit. There was some information provided on the packaging, about being made in the USA, don't use silicone lubes, store upright, and some cleaning instructions.
So far, I have used this twice on my wife. Both times I just held it, and it fit very nicely in my hand. I was able to thrust it very easily, and with the placement of the balls, it is easy and comfortable to hold. The second time I used it, I had the balls facing my wife's clit, and with a good rhythm, she had a great orgasm from the balls slapping her. She really loves this toy, and it has replaced the UR3 Ballsy from Doc Johnson. We have yet to use it on me or in a strap-on, but plan on doing it in the future. Hopefully will have that information in the follow-up review.
Follow-up commentaryI still like it5 months after original review
My wife still likes the Goodfella, but we wish that he was just a little bit larger. The head is a pretty good size, but the shaft is too thin. I was going to order Johnny next, but I really like the look of the Bandit.
Also today, I had free time and thought some anal play with Goodfella would be fun. I debated using the Gold Laced G, maybe for warm-up, but I thought my ass could handle Goodfella no problem, since he is soft and squishy, and not that much larger than what I have taken before. At first he didn't want to go in while I was laying on my back, so I got on my knees. I had to hold him by his head, and he eventually went in. But instead of wonderful pleasure, I had intense pain. I waited one second to see if it would pass, but it didn't, and I pulled out the Goodfella. I now know how my wife felt when one of her ex's "accidentally" shoved his much larger penis into her ass. No wonder she doesn't want to try anal play.
