ReviewerTwitter: Safraxoffical

Prior Experienceno I already occupy a suit but it was built by Baniras Collection as an exercise and therefore cannot be compared. MakeAFurs ( in the following called MAF ) suit is the first suit I bought professionally.

Wear Time30

Informed Maker of Issuesyes the shoulders were a little too tight but this is because I have very broad shoulders and that is badly recognizable from the Tapedummy. But that's absolutely no problem and nothing that restricts me in any movements

Overall

Initial ContactPretty easy as Safrax was an Adopt she searched a coustomer for. It took me about 5 min over telegram


Maker CommunicationProfessional, very friedly, fast response to any qeustions. Much Wips even unasked where given.

Project Completion Timeit only took about four months which is insanely fast conserdering it was an full digigraded fursuit.


Overall Project QualityTOP NOTCH!!!! 100* out of 10* even if this isn't posibile. I will buy another suit made by MAF in the near future


Components


Head

Wear SatisfactionI am absolutely satisfied with the head I can not find fault with anything, the head is completely lined inside wit neopren and a baclava, which makes the wearing of the head immensely more comfortable also cleaning the head is much more easy.With a little trickery I am able to wear my glasses underneath when I wear the suit head it was agreed with MAF to build this without glasses place wich is a big plus point for me even if i not specifically asked for it.
After about 5 hours of wearing the head sits as if cast on initially he was minimally too small which was simply because he had not yet adapted to my head. Ventilation is absolutly great no problems at all i get enough freash air through the mouth. Vision is overall great there is only a small blind spot in the middle of my eyes which i geuss is probably because i have a big forehead. With a little moving i can see pretty good with the head.


Visual Satisfactionhe looks just stunningly beautiful a beautiful toony suit head which you can see in the attached pictures. I JUST FALLL IN LOVE WITH HIM!!! Not more to say absolutly highlight are the teeths and red glowing eyes.


One-Piece Body

Wear SatisfactionI can wear the body very well he sits optimall the tail was so firmly installed that he is no longer noticeable to me when wearing I have sometimes forgotten to remember that he has a tail. The body sits minimal tight on my very broad shoulders but its not disturb me in my movement and is therefore not worth mentioning. The feet are connected with a zipper to body what has needed some practice but after the fifth time that was also no longer a problem for me


Visual SatisfactionAbsolutely top class there is really nothing to complain about the look see refernce pictures.


Hands

Wear Satisfactionthe hands fit like very well I have very large hands which usually need at least xxl size most even two xxl. These fit me very well and are very comfortable to wear, it should be noted that MAF has built these according to their own pattern without a template of my hands. The sleeve collar is minimally too large but nothing that would bother me in the movement or otherwise and therefore not worth being mentioned.


Visual SatisfactionAgain absolutly first class nothing to complain here!! Please look at the reference pictures!!


Feet

Wear SatisfactionI get myself for the shoes still a shoehorn for the feet since these have an enormous size of around sixty centimeters in height it is once these are connected to the suit with the zippers something difficult to put on because they were built on sneaker basis. They wear once I have the shoes on very comfortable and I can walk in these aisle safe. Again i cant say anything uch negative about them.


Visual Satisfactionand one more time again i find them absolutly amazing. i mostly like how MAF was able to to carve the foam so that you can see the single muscles of the claws


Special Featuresas already mentioned, red leds were installed in the suit head which can be switched on via a hidden switch in the right ear which cannot be seen from the outside and its give the head a pleasantly eerie look, especially in the dark. These can be powered on with a small usb powerbank which can by stored in a small pocket sewed in the heads backside. The powerbank and pocket does disturbs in no way when wearing the head. the usb cable of the led makes a stable impression and looks valuable. The light when turned on isn't to bright and does not disturb me viewingside much in daylight, its a little harder to see when turned on in the dark, but this is not MAF fault as we agreed the LEDS where be an external manufacture and MAF therefore had no control of any part in the production. This was said clearly before ordering and putting the LEDS in and was agreed be me.

Final CommentsI can in all conscience say that MAF is a very reliable and friendly fursuit maker. We were not friends when I bought Safrax but are now which is not a given.I had consistently received a large number of wip images without having to ask for them about the entire construction process. if questions arose, they were answered within a few minutes to a maximum of a few hours i never had to wait longer than a day for an answer. i was always informend about the next making steps.MAF has a friendly and matter-of-fact demeanor. A plus point was that we can both speak German which has made the communication alot more easy. For that i can't say much about a english conversation but i geuss it where also be as good.

Would i buy a Suit made by MakeAFur any time again? HELL YEAH!!! Its aready planned twice! Therefore i warmly recommend anyone who likes an overall bad ass lokking fursuit with nice monster teeths to her!! As i said i always would order again. The price of 3800€ where absolutly alright for the qaulity given. I wish MAF best of luck in the near and long term future and can only hope she brings another tons of Charackters into life!! Further more having friendly customers to work with! I'll come back again!
