Features: Horns or Antlers Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactIt was very easy, she answered within the first 24 hours of me contacting her! We spoke on Twitter first, then went and spoke on Instagram for all updates, and measurements needed. She sent me her Trello to see all her work. From there when she completed the head we met up, since we lived only 80 miles from each other, traded the head for the DTD. Maker CommunicationShe responded fast, and as much as she could, there were times she couldn't respond for about a week, but she was battling stage 4 cancer at the time, so on top of her cancer she was making suits and would assure you she would get your suit made in a timely manner! She was very sweet and professional. I felt like I was treated like family by her. Project Completion TimeI am happy with it, she couldn't give an ETA, but she got the entire suit done within 6 months! She worked on other suits and mine and still made sure she was completed! Overall Project QualityI am beyond happy with her outcome, she turned out exactly how we determined, she went out of her way to assure me that nothing would come undone. ToastyCreationz exceeded what I wanted, went above and beyond with her, she was always sending updates when she could, and made her look perfect. She fits snug entirely, head, feet, tail, and body all fit perfectly. I would've mentioned hand paws, but unfortunately she could not make the hand paws in time. Components Head Wear SatisfactionThe head fits so snug, the vision is a little off, you have to choose one eye to look out of, but this is because she's got a massive blond spot. The lining is a silky minky lining which is really helpful absorbing sweat! I can breathe so we'll in her, with having asthma and scar tissue in my lungs, I can breathe so we'll and not feel constricted. Visual SatisfactionOh the outside, probably one of the best suits I've received, she's so soft, her design was partially changed with my permission and that change turned out gorgeous! She's not symmetrical, one eye is SLIGHTY off but it's not drastic. Lower Body Wear SatisfactionThe lower body fits greatly! I can wear it for days, the suit itself can be washed in the washer, I can move very well in her granted I knock stuff over sometimes. She triple sewed the body suit so she's very durable, I've jumped, dance, squated and not a single seam came undone. The interior is not lined, but has some sweat absorbing cushions, which the cushions I put in myself. The airflow is very nice, I tend to sweat more than most people but I have noticed I don't sweat in the bodysuit. Visual SatisfactionI am VERY satisfied with the work, shaving was perfect, the fur is so soft, everything is symmetrical, the belly was changed with my permission and still turned out amazing! The padding CAN get a little itchy, but it's always best to wear skin tight leggings to prevent that itchiness. Tail Wear SatisfactionSuper hyper motion, tail has a hideaway belt holder, which I love! Very comfortable to have, and to hold, the tail is held together greatly, not a single seam has come undone. The tail wags when you move so its perfect! Visual SatisfactionShaving is great, wasn't needed but she trimmed down enough to help with cleaning, and to make sure it wouldn't pick up anything if it was off. Nothing on the tail was changed, she made the tail perfect compared to the ref sheet Feet Wear SatisfactionThe feet are perfect, their digi so you won't be able to see past my lower legs, which is super nice! I can jump, sprint, and they'll stay on my feet, she put in some Nike sandals to keep my feet in place, which are also very comfortable. The feet are lined with the same lining used in the head so they're really good with helping with sweat. I have no problem putting on the feet, super easy to put on. Visual SatisfactionShe did amazing with the feet paws, a few pins were left in at the bottom(OUTSIDE) which she had to hold the fur down while she was getting them made. Some fur isnt held down all the way, but it's an easy fix. Shaving is perfect, all very soft, the feet design was changed up a bit, but it still turned out great, the feet were just the singular color, either black or orange and she added in white toes, so that was a really nice touch! RatingFursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker? YES This review has been marked with a positive rating. This means the reviewer would recommend Toasty Creations. Final CommentsAs much as I would say go through this maker, she unfortunately isn't taking anymore commissions, she was battling stage 4 terminal cancer, and had to close all commissions entirely. But I would say if you know anyone with a suit by her, make sure to let them know that she did amazing! Because she absolutely did. If she were still here today, I'd say go through her, because you would not be disappointed! Are you the maker of this item? Would you like to leave an official response? Click here.
