Review InformationReviewerTwitter: ceberg_wuff Prior ExperienceThis is my first fursuit I've owned, but not the first fursuit I've worn. Wear Time52 Informed Maker of IssuesYes, the handpaws were stuffed too much and the seams ended up busting at a few points. Maker fully remade the paws and sent them back, all free of charge.

Features: None Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactI found the maker through FursuitReview, and then found that they were friends with a mutual friend, who suggested them. Contacted initially through telegram, and then ordered on their website, they gave a full list of measurements that they needed, and were very helpful in the process of getting them. Maker CommunicationThey consistantly communicated through telegram, and were very fast with response time to my questions, very nice person to talk with, and overall friendly when talking. Invited me to their fursuit family telegram group with other suiters, and kept updating me as my fursuit was made, alongside their trello page. Project Completion TimeVery happy with the turnaround time, suits were divided in to batches per month on trello, and I was consistantly kept aware of my position in the queue. I didn't ask for a specific deadline, and I was promised that it would be finished by the end of the year, which it was. And then delivered just after the new year. Full tracking via UPS was given for deliver, likewise when reparing the handpaws, which they paid for. Overall Project QualityVery happy with the overall quality of the fursuit, very comfortable to wear, though a little hot with excessive movement, this is expected though. The suit is very durable so far and nothing has come up other than replacing the paws due to overstuffing during making, suit was delivered slightly before it was expected, very cute expression on the head, and always gets people smiling in public. All of the parts work together to give a look I am satisfied with, and I hope they will last a very long time. I would say it was definitely worth the price paid for it, all the colours are consistant with the reference sheet, nothing is too baggy or too tight. Looking at the makers other suits, it fits their style perfectly, and I got what I expected. Components Head Wear SatisfactionThe head fits perfectly, the eyes are very big and give a lot of vision. It can get hot at times, but the mouth provides a lot of ventilation, and can fit sports drink bottles. It's lined with a lycra balaclava, but I wear an additional one underneath so it doesnt get sweaty and oily. While there is some peripheral vision, it is still limited, alongside the snout being a big blindspot. Visual SatisfactionThe head's markings match the reference sheet perfectly, and there isnt any asymmetry on either side of the head. It is nicely shaved with high quality shaggy fur, and extra cheek fur. The eyes are follow-me eyes, though they don't have much expression due to not having eyebrows, however the tongue is movable and helps with expression. It was given visable fangs which are different to the reference however this was on request. Upper Body Wear SatisfactionThe armsleeves fit snugly on my arms and with under armour on don't restrict my movement at all. There are stray threads where the sewing machine ended the stitch, but these were trimmed off without issue, and were only visable inside the arms and not outside. While the arms do get hot over time, they are still fairly breathable. Visual SatisfactionBoth arms are symetrical, with very cute transitions of the fur colour, fur is soft and doesnt bleed, very easily brushed out, matches concept art nearly exactly. The paws are easily able to hide their ends in the fur making the arm to paw transition seamless. Hands Wear SatisfactionComfortable to wear, although the backing can rub against the skin sometimes, this is an uncommon issue in my experience so far though. They stay on my hands without problems and even when stretching the handpaws are long, so my wrists dont show. Visual SatisfactionAfter the replacement due to seams bursting, the paws are perfect, the shaving is seamless with the unshaved fur and are symmetrical, the fur is very soft to the touch and pleasant to wear, there are no claws but there are minky pawpads, other than the lack of claws they match the reference picture, and the paws are easily able to hide their ends in the fur making the arm to paw transition seamless. Tail Wear SatisfactionThe tail is extremely waggy, and it is comfortable to wear with a belt, the belt loops are strong and hold up to general wearing, not much to say about it. Visual SatisfactionThe tail matches the reference perfectly, and is a very big, fluffy tail that is great for touching, wags a lot, and is relatively lightweight for the size, fur is unshaved, and the tail markings are symmetrical. Feet Wear SatisfactionThe feet fit perfectly with the shoes inside, my ankles dont show with stretching and they don't easily slide off unless I choose to take them off. They are comfortable to wear, though they are a little hard to walk in at first. They're easy to walk around in after practice, and dont have any issues with popping seams. Visual SatisfactionBoth paws are symmetrical, there are no claws similar to the handpaws which is different to the reference, the fur is very high quality and soft to the touch, amd easy to brush out. Though naturally because they are white fur, the very front gets dirty when walking so it helps to have a pair of fursuit shoes, or spotwashing afterwards.
