It’s made out of some kind of thermoplastic material. It’s too loose and too heavy on the front. This material is really delicate and they made really thin base so its way too easy to break it. I already received it with broken jaw which they tried to cover by gluing some kind of gummy material over it. At the beginning a piece of the material was sticking out and heavily bruising and sawing my skin on the next leaving red painful marks. It has a moving jaw which never fully closes on its own, I have to wear it over my chin so it closes. Ventilation is fine with and without the fan (though the installed the fan backwards making me breathe the same air over and over again which caused problems. I reinstalled it correctly though). Vision is alright. I have little blind spot between the eyes but it’s easy to get used to. Floppy ears often caused problems covering more or less half of the vision. They failed to fix this so I started wearing ski goggles to keep them up when I need. I also have pretty good vision though the mouth whenever I need that (for example for walking down the stairs). I had to add additional stitches to keep the fur together because they were poorly sewed. Visual Satisfaction Front of the head looks great. Symmetry is good except for the jaw which is always curved, it’s especially visible when the mouth is open (they supposedly tried to fix it many times but failed). Shaving and details are good as well. The fur is pretty soft and fluffy (I had to replace some of it because it got worn out but that’s normal). The maker used two different shades and types of white fur on the neck which was pretty visible, especially in natural light of the day but I replaced them already. The head looks pretty unnatural from the side view. It’s pretty visible its just a mask and since its sitting loosely on my head the fur looks stretched. Hands and Feet Wear Satisfaction Handpaws are pretty comfortable. I had to add an elastic band to make them more comfortable and to stop them from falling off during more rapid motions. Pawpads are made out of fabrics so they are not too sturdy. They were just glued together using hot glue so I had to add additional stitches to keep them together. Fur sleeves are also quite comfortable and soft. They are held together by elastic band (also for some reason attached to the fur by hot glue so I had to add stitches to keep it together) which is always hidden under my shirt. Fur was poorly sewed so I had to add additional stitches to most of it. Visual Satisfaction Fur looks good. Its symmetrical, colour is nice. The fur is soft and fluffy. Tails Wear Satisfaction Tail is one of the best parts of this suit. It’s a bit heavy but comfortable. Its fluffy and soft. Good for using it as a pillow as well. At first the straps were keep falling off and tearing off because they were attached to the tail with hot glue. I replaced them on my own using double stitches so now its secure to pull on it. Visual Satisfaction The fur is soft and fluffy. The white tip is completely different shade of white and different type of the fur than the rest of the suit. Overall Product Satisfaction How well does everything fit together and match up? After I replaced/fixed most of the defects I can say I am satisfied with the appearance of it. Overall Project Quality The appearance looked great (with few defects) but the quality of construction etc was terrible. I had to keep repairing it because of poor quality. Purchase Process Initial Contact They were available on both facebook and furaffinity so it was easy to contact them. Maker Response Time At first only one day. When it was getting closer to the deadline or when I was contacting them for warranty repair it took between few days to a week to response. (contacted facebook fanpage, private accounts, text messages, furaffinity notes) Maker Professionalism Customer service was bad. It was difficult to contact them. When I gave them a list of what’s wrong and/or needs repairs in suit they done only a couple of this list. Project Completion Time The deadline was missed but they finished it when I was visiting them to pick my fursuit up so I kinda forced them to finish in time. 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 Nuke Creations unless they significantly change their practices. Final Comments Pros: -Appearance -Vision -Ventilation Cons: -Poor construction -Poor contact with the maker -Hidden damages -Maker’s inability to fix warranty damages -Fixing defects is basically fursuiter’s problem -Hot glue everywhere From what I’ve seen while visiting them they were making all fursuits last minute, right before deadlines thus why poor quality construction.
