Photos of Completed Product Head Wear Satisfaction He is comfy to wear and has good ventilation though his eyesight is poor Visual Satisfaction He has lumpy fleece, my cheeks are visible through his cheeks ,his eyes were painted badly and not sealed (or not sealed well). His neck needed to have a bandana around it as it was just a rectangle piece of fabric and randomly stuck out. His horns are lopsided and his nose is crooked. His fur feels oily and odd. Special Attachments and Features He glows under black light which was a detail I was not told until I dug through my makers Instagram to see she had posted that info. Hands and Feet Wear Satisfaction His hands are too big and slip off as they do not have a cuff. Their seams pop often and the insides feel like the fabric of an old pair of basketball shorts. Visual Satisfaction The paws are cute and chubby until the fingers are bent and then they look odd. Though I truly love the fleece used and the colors make me extremely happy. Tails Wear Satisfaction The tail is heavy, it has two thin belt loops that have stretched, his tail now sags and you are able to see the “flesh and bone” design on the base. Its seams popped often Visual Satisfaction I thought the tail was vibrant and adorable. Overall Product Satisfaction How well does everything fit together and match up? The pieces fit and look fine together , everything but the paws fit fine ,style is consistent and pattern is properly executed. Overall Project Quality I’m terribly saddened by this suits quality and the fact I had to retire him so soon Purchase Process Initial Contact If I were to rate a 1 out of 10 I’d give her a 4.5 Maker Response Time Fairly ok, it stayed consistent. Maker Professionalism They were fairly sweet though they began to make excuses Project Completion Time He was shipped in a very timely manner Rating FursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker? NO This review has been marked with a negative rating. This means the reviewer would NOT recommend Tenth Element Fursuits unless they significantly change their practices. Final Comments This suits quality is not good at all. To start off with when I got him he smelt like sweat and cigarettes, the foam on the inside was browned and stained. He got a bath before I even wore him and he quickly turned the bath brown. His eyes fell out in the bath and I noticed he needed a full refurb as his seams were already popping ,they attempted to sew foam together, and I could easily take off his fleece face. His eyes needed remade entirely as the paint job was poor and they didn’t seem to be sealed. After his refurb things were fine until the lining from the paws tore out and the base of his tail ripped off (this is from me only making tiktoks in him). When I opened the tail to repair it I learned the zigzag markings were not sewn properly and instead sewn with a very weak stitch ,as well as the small squares being sewn on instead of in. His head is still falling apart and the fleece keeps slowly pulling from the head causing him to look wrinkly and old. I would not reccomend this maker unless they grow and become better at making Are you the maker of this item? Would you like to leave an official response? Click here.
