Overall

Initial ContactContacting them was easy when I bought the suit as I got it in person at a con from them and contacting them online has also been equally as easy!

Online I’ve contacted them through twitter and all questions I’ve had or might have had were easily answered.

I found out about them at Megaplex 2022


Maker CommunicationMaker gave very good communication,didn’t take too long to answer, gave great information and was super friendly!

Project Completion TimeWell it’s a pre made so I didn’t wait at all and I got it in person so shipping was also not a thing any of us were worried about in this situation.


Overall Project QualityOverall I might have some minor issues I wish were fixed or changed but the amount of joy I’ve had with the suit has been incredible,it’s very well made and definitely matches the makers style perfectly and since it’s such a different kind of design from what I normally like it makes it more special to me because it gave me something new that I ended up liking a lot!

It’s fun to wear and will definitely last me a long time,build quality and aesthetics are excellent!

While the suit was very expensive obviously I thought it was worth the money given I bought the pre made on the spot!

To give a brief summary of the issues here they are:
-one seam around the ears is not quite matched up so the pattern is slightly off
-asymmetrical nose holes
-stiff tail



Components


Head

Wear SatisfactionWhile initially wearing the head was snug with foam harder than my first fursuit it’s still comfortable to wear ,it’s harder to wear a balaclava (because it can slip into my eyes) with it but it’s not a huge deal.

Vision is slightly darker while wearing it but the peripheral vision and how much I see is amazing!

With such huge eyes and an open mouth ventilation is also pretty good, while nose is a bit squished it’s not really uncomfortable and I breath just as well so no issue there. (On top of nose and it’s a non issue most won’t notice or care including me since it’s still comfortable)

The inside is also lined and the fabric used is super pretty!

Also I have a bigger head than some so it’s not really their fault at all and even with that I’m still happy with how it fits me.


Visual SatisfactionThe fursuit looks great! Overall symmetry is on point except 2 areas,one which are the nose holes one is slightly off from the other and on one of the ears the pattern was stitched a bit too low so part of the color of the tips connects to the base color of the ear; for most occasions these things aren’t that noticeable but are the only real issues with the suit.

The shave is very well done with fur feeling soft being able to brush it despite being short.

Design perfectly matches the concept art which is a given since they also designed it.



Hands

Wear SatisfactionWhile the paws aren’t lined (for my case anyways) they are fairly comfortable to wear if a bit scratchy (slightly) at least when compared to my other fursuit.

Quality is top notch and I don’t see them getting popped seams any time soon and fit just right.


Visual SatisfactionThe paws are rather simple,look great and are perfectly symmetrical!

Colors look great!



Tail

Wear SatisfactionThe tail is nice to wear but requires one to hold the tail so it doesn’t get dirty dragging on the floor,part of this is more on me since I’m short and this tail is long and stiff.

It’s super durable as I’ve bent it around me at cons/events and has retained its shape!


Visual SatisfactionVisually the tail looks great,has equally good colors,shaving and fur!

The tail is stiff which is one of my only other issues with the overall suit, it looks great I just wish it were looser so that it could move and be posed more naturally especially for a tail as long as that.

Not a flaw mind you this is more my preference but not an issue since I knew this as soon as I bought it in person.

Regardless even if it’s too stiff I have still enjoyed it and have taken good care of it!

Final CommentsThis maker has a very adorable style that would definitely have me coming back in the future for either a custom or another pre made!

There might have been some minor issues with my suit but from what I’ve seen it’s not the norm,they tend to not make many or any mistakes from what I’ve seen!

Would definitely recommend 🙂
