Reviewer Information Reviewer Cautiousculpeo Twitter: cautiousculpeo Relationship With Maker The maker WAS a friend when the item was purchased, but they are NOT a friend now Prior Experience No this was the first fursuit piece i ever purchased. Informed Maker of Issues Yes, Mars was very unapologetic, Mars proceeded to deny anytime i would message them, telling me it was fixable on my end, that my paws that i had work once for 20 minutes in a live stream that fell apart, were my fault but it was ok because it is fixable on my end because i know how to sew. My fiance then became into contact with Mars and mars agreed to pay shipping to have them brought back to fix, Mars never refunded me, offered shipping costs etc, After that Mars started accusing me of doing things i had not done, and their girlfriend Alyssa posted my account publibly to use me as the butt of a joke, after blocking me. Mars then after i asked to stop contacting me, and that i hoped we could remain civil, blocked me on all platforms. here is the link to the full review and screenshots i took of our conversations https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PGo6SZ7zSyUT1q49m4J3_PrVQ_bqdw14DfhKV48IAmU/edit?usp=sharing Wear Time maybe 20 minuted tops Maker & Project Information Maker ItsProbablyMars Commission Information Type: Fursuit > Paw Sets > Hand Paws Style: Real/Toon Hybrid Shipped From: USA Species Culpeo Fox Found in Canidae (?)

Character Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Hands and Feet Wear Satisfaction the paws are not lined and feel very itchy on my skin, the seems have more hot glue then thread, which rubs on my hands and caused blisters within the 20 minutes i wore them. Visual Satisfaction they looked nice, markings were accurate. until they fell apart. Special Attachments and Features i was told the paws would be elbow length, and they are only halfway up my arm. Overall Product Satisfaction How was your concept art realized? i think they did alright, besides not making them elbow length like i paid for. How well does everything fit together and match up? not really, they are accurate in markings, but the fur quality and shaving varys all over the paws. Overall Project Quality i cant wear them, as they have fallen apart from sitting on a shelf Purchase Process Initial Contact i have been in contact with mars for many years, these conversations though took place on telegram. Maker Response Time i was not satisfied Maker Professionalism Mars acted very unprofessional and childish, going behind my back to tell their friends and girlfriend about me to make a mockery of me. Posting publicly about me in a rude manner. Project Completion Time almost a year… Rating FursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker?

It wouldn’t hurt for Mars to pay their business taxes they’ve been skating over for years.
