The lining is super comfy! – The ventilation is pretty good! It does get stuffy after 20 or so minutes, but a short break will fix it. – Vision is way better than I expected. The pupils of the 3D eyes are big enough to give me a degree of peripheral vision. There is a slight blind spot in the middle, though that’s to be expected! Visual Satisfaction – Symmetry and shaving are great! I have no complaints! – The expression is changeable via magnets in the eyebrows! It’s a super cool feature. MFL’s website states that their heads feature a “semi-moving jaw,” though I haven’t seen any legitimacy in this, as the bottom jaw doesn’t move with my mouth (even with exaggerated mouth movements) – On my quote, I marked removable eyelids as an option. Though, when they were building the head, they forgot to install those magnets so the eyelids never happened. Fortunately, MFL gave me a refund for the eyelids! – The head matches pretty well with the concept art, though I think some markings (like the cyan stripes and the green muzzle stripe) could have been better represented. That being said, it still looks fantastic! Special Attachments and Features – The eyebrows function extremely well to change the expression! I can even change them while in suit wearing the hand paws – MFL happily accepted my request to make a bow tie for Avy and it looks great! It’s attached by a large safety pin to the neck fur of the head. Unfortunately, a lot of the time, the wide, low muzzle tends to hide the bowtie so it remains 90% out of sight. Body Wear Satisfaction I opted to get arm and leg sleeves with the suit; – The arm sleeves fit great and do not suffer from slipping at all. The leg sleeves however, can’t be worn for more than 5 minutes of motion-filled activity without sliding down. I wish MFL had built them around a pair of shorts sewn on the inside to prevent this. Instead, they are separated per leg and use a drawstring for tightening. I told MFL about the issues and they offered to take the leg sleeves back and sew on a pair of shorts that I’d use for suiting. But I just decided on waiting to get a bodysuit for Avy instead. – Besides the leg problem, the sleeves are built very well! The interior isn’t lined but it’s not uncomfortable by any means and I could wear the sleeves for hours Visual Satisfaction – The sleeves look great! No issues with symmetry! – If I had one complaint, it would be the really short fur length on the white part of the sleeves, I think a longer option would’ve looked better and less wrinkly, but that’s really nit-picky xD – All the colors look A-okay! Hands and Feet Wear Satisfaction Hands: – The hands are quite large, but fit quite nicely! If I’m making exaggerated movements, they tend to slip a little, but they don’t come off unless I’m flapping my hands around crazily xD They are easy to put on! -Quality is very nice! The paw pads are made out of a minky fabric that’s super soft! – The interior isn’t lined, but you can take out the paw digit stuffing in case you wash the hands, which I though was a cool feature. Feet: – Like the hands, the feet are very big. I think I put one size too large for the shoes on my email with MFL, because the feet slip around a good amount when I’m moving quickly. That being said, they’re east to put on and ankles don’t show! Moving with the giant feet can be slightly cumbersome, but not difficult. – They are an outdoor style with a very nice and robust material used on the bottom. – The interior is a slipper-like shoe with foam built around it. Visual Satisfaction – Everything looks great for both hands and feet! I LOVE how toony they look, despite the very slight difficulties that come with the large size of them. Other than that, they’re perfect! Tails Wear Satisfaction They tail is absolutely perfect! It’s super fluffy at the tip, which actually looks really cool when the tail is bouncing around! It’s also easy to put on with the typical belt loops employed. The polyfil inside feels very strong and the tail holds it shape great! Visual Satisfaction The tail looks fantastic! Colors match perfectly! Overall Product Satisfaction How was your concept art realized? The suit matches the markings pretty much perfectly! How well does everything fit together and match up? Symmetry and color consistency are also perfect! Zero complaints here 😀 Overall Project Quality The only significant issues would be the leg sleeves falling down and the missing eyelids. Although, both were compensated for me and aren’t major problems by any means 🙂 The suit is incredible and I’ve had a fantastic time wearing Avy around! Purchase Process Initial Contact How satisfied are you with how easy it was to initially contact the maker for a quote? Super easy, actually! It was a rather spur-of-the-moment decision to move forward, but the payment and everything was taken care of in a matter of 24 hours! Maker Response Time MFL is very consistent with fast responses! I always received a reply within 36 hours of sending a message. Maker Professionalism These makers are VERY professional! I couldn’t think of any way they could be any friendlier to me during the commission process! Customer service was A+! All my questions were answered promptly and kindly! Project Completion Time How satisfied are you with how the deadline was met for completion of your project? Were any deadlines missed or was it done early? Wow! So- I initially asked if they would be able to finish Avy before TFF (March 10), and was told my completion date was February of 2016. The deadline kept approaching as the month of March began. On March 9th, I was informed that the suit was completed and would be shipped overnight to me. On March 10th, a couple hours before leaving for the TFF hotel, the suit arrived Rating FursuitReview 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 MoreFurLess. Final Comments Getting a fursuit turned from a distant improbability into a complete reality in a matter of hours when I submitted that quote form. I couldn’t be happier that I moved forward with the commission! Only a couple hiccups in the final product made this a non-perfect commission (but it’s pretty darn close to one)! I’d highly recommend More Fur Less to anyone looking to commission a suit! Pros: – Quality – Comfort – Communication – Professionalism Cons: – Attention to detail (commission-related, not design-related detail) -Wearability of leg sleeves Highly recommended! 😀 Are you the maker of this item?
