Features: Horns or Antlers, Hair / Wig Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactI already talked before hand with the makers about making Run in a future, so they told me the next time there was going to be an opening to apply, and that's what I did. Maker CommunicationOnce they let me know my design was chosen, they put me in a waitlist (there was other people before me to have their fursuit finished), there was like a half a year period of waiting before starting to discuss how to make my suit. In this period they maintained me well informed about when it was going to be my turn. When my turn arrived, they were super communicative with me, we discussed a lot of things and they always answered me super fast to all my questions and doubts. Overall, I don't have any complaints at all about how the communication with me was made. Project Completion TimeAfter agreeing on a price via email and once they're going to start your project, they make a custom telegram group with you (the client) and both makers so the communication is as smooth as possible. Everything was communicated very clearly and once the project started, the deadline was before 2024 EF, and they completed it and sent it without any issues before the time limit. The shipping was made via a local option called correos as we're both from Spain. It arrived in less than 24 hours. Overall Project QualityI couldn't be happier with how Run turned out, this partial fursuit absolutely exceeded my expectations!! – The fursuit it's just perfect for me. Great to see even greater to wear with how comfy it is. It's been already with me through 2 full conventions and several meet-ups and can't wait to keep wearing them more and more. – Despite having nearly one year already (8 months at the moment of the review), it's still like new. Everything is such high quality and the head, hands and tail work together really well. – It was totally worth the price, tomacats did an absolutely great job with Run. They are super consistent in their working and that ends up being notorious in their style, you can instantly tell my (or any of their) fursuits are a tomacats. Components Head Wear SatisfactionThe head is absolutely spot on. – Tomacats will ask you for some measures before beginning to make your head, they are super easy to take and it ensures a perfect fit will happen when the head is finished. – The head is not hard at all, and even if you find it hard they include a cushion to soften it (I never use it because I find the head really comfortable as it is). It is really light and coming from various neck problems, I really appreciate it. I can wear it for hours without any trouble and don't have a sore neck at the end of each session which I greatly appreciate. – The ventilation is really good, mouth and eyes being that big really helps and doesn't even sacrifice the looks!! – The vision is also really really good, I'm able to see super well and haven't had any problems yet with it. TLDR: Super comfy, super light, good ventilation and good vision. What else could you ask for? Visual SatisfactionThe head is super satisfying to look at!! – Tomacats will first make a concept drawing of how the head will end up being, so you can discuss with them how it will end up being and what to change. – The quality of the head is TOP TIER, the furs are super soft and really good to the touch. The head is symmetrical and it matches exactly what was discussed beforehand. Also, you really can't tell the stitching at all and the finish result is super smooth in every single way. The shaving is also really good, they also asked me how shaved I wanted it and ended up looking super good. – Overall, I'm super satisfied with how Run ended up looking. It also included magnetic lids, magnetic horns and a magnetic band-aid. – I already washed Run 3 times and brushed him a lot of times and the furs are like the first day, so great quality in general! TLDR: Super happy with how it looks, great quality of furs and finishes, lots of options to make it as likeable as the client wants. Very nice!! Hands Wear SatisfactionHands are great!! They fit me perfectly and pretty much everyone with how they make them. The quality is pretty much the same as the head as the same furs where used, but still, I've used them to do a lot of activities and they still are like the first day after all the brushing and washing. The interior lining is made out of a soft cloth (in my case of my choosing between the options they gave me) and it's great. They're made to be comfortable and to be able to be useful. Visual SatisfactionHands look great! The hands were not too complicated (no markings, only two colors) in comparison with others that they made, but still they are perfectly made. Both hands are the same visually, I could not spot any differences between the two so they are super symmetrical. The shaving and the material comes on par with the head, there are 0 inconsistencies and they are just perfect, exactly what I wanted! Tail Wear SatisfactionThe tail is amazing to wear – Super light and it allows everything. I've been standing up, I've been sat down, I've been laying down and the tail just allows everything. Super flexible and easily movable. – Getting the tail on is super easy, it has 2 holes to get a belt of your choice through and that's it, you're set with the belt! – The quality is also super super good, the tail is actually majorly made out of minky, you can do whatever and even after several washes it's still like new. 0 inconveniences with the tail. Visual SatisfactionTail looks amazing – I felt like the tail was gonna be one of the hardest things to do as it has a lot of markings, but Tomacats were able to absolutely pulled it off. – The looks of it are absolutely stunning, all the markings are perfectly made, the weird bird tail form is also really well achieved and everything is being completed by a very good minky material that feels and it's really good! – The tail absolutely matches the original design that was asked. Special FeaturesThe horns! – Run horns are magnetic and you can attach and de-attach them to your liking. It also makes it so much easier to transport the head on a bag. – The horns are also super good quality made out of minky and they even gave me more magnets in case I needed a stronger attachment. (I still haven't needed the extra magnets) RatingFursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker? YES This review has been marked with a positive rating.
