Relationship With Maker
The maker was NOT a friend when the item was purchased, but they ARE a friend now
Prior Experience
This is my first head (partial or otherwise) and I have not sure before.
However, my suiting friend tried it and was very impressed with the field of customers it offers and we both find it refreshingly cool whole in use on the temperature aspect.

HeadGives information about the head of the costume. If reviewing a set of ears, the answers would also go in this section.
Wear Satisfaction
How satisfying this piece is to wear with regard to comfort, fit, material quality, etc.
The field of vision is wonderful and the mesh used to make the white eye socket look is easy to see through while also doing it’s aesthetics job very easily.
There is a hidden controller mounted on the head to operate the LED 3rd eye that is easy to use without having to look at it.
The horns and fur are securely fixed and have so far been durable. The head has cushioning to reduce strain on the wearer’s head and neck, and Velcro strapping for an easy, personal fit.
Overall I am highly satisfied with the head and would give it five stars.
Appearance Satisfaction
How satisfying this piece is to look at with regard to material quality, design, how closely it matches the concept, etc.
The color work on the head is well done, and mimics real bone wear on the skeletal portions. The fur’s coloring is lovely and vivid and the colors are rich and complent each other very well. It has yet to bleed, fade, or change in any way, yet remains almost silky smooth to the touch while also retaining it’s volume.
The head is based on the idea of the element Antimony (Where it gets its name from) and draws from the metal for its design and style.
Thought and creativity was put into coming up with this piece, and it really shines through. : 3
(It was an original designed by the creator, and an Elemental series is tentatively in the works.)
My friends and my sister were enamored with it when they first saw it and complimented it thoroughly.
Five out of five stars.
Special Attachments and Features
Information about any special or unique features this piece has with regard to the reviewer's satisfaction of them.
The remote control for the LED, as mentioned above, is easily accessible and can be reached while the head is worn (though it may take practice to do so flawlessly) and is hidden from view in a pocket inside the head.
The accessories chained to the head are fairly durable. I’ve had one chain link loosen the whole time I’ve had it, and it is easy to fix back like it was.
A cast enamel pin of the the sign for Antimony was included with the head and it’s professional quality.

Product Satisfaction
How satisfied the reviewer is with the overall look and feel of the costume in its entirety.
How well does everything fit together and match up?
The head, as a whole and in each part, looks wonderful. Each piece looks like it belongs together with all the others and the head as a whole looks inspired and timeless
There are hidden claps to hold the the hanging parts of fur together to conceal the wearer’s neck and keep them warm when it’s cold or windy. The fur hangs attractively when it’s hot to increase the already notable ventilation further without detracting from the looks or style of the head.
The maker has at least one other metal in the Elemental series they’ve bee done, and it does keep with their style on this one while being uniquely different.

Overall Project Quality
I am very happy with my purchase and plan to be for a very long time.
The head is holding up very well and even now is still in sellable condition, so that should speak for it itself.
