Features: None Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactMaker was quick to respond even though they were at a convention when I bought the suit. Maker CommunicationAll questions answered, all messages responded to daily. I was kept up to date via telegram. Project Completion TimeThis was a pre-made so I only had to wait for the maker to add the claws to the paws and ship. Overall Project QualityI am beyond happy with the suit I received! I know this head and paw set was made early on (pre-2019) and was impressed with how she has held up to a consistent and almost constant wear over a years time. Amazing! She is beautiful, her floppy ears are to die for! I've received so many compliments on her and as a harsh critic myself, I'm very happy with her overall. The maker sent me videos, explained everything that should be noted, and was fantastic about getting her out to me when I needed. She was a pre-made suit made years prior that was never sold so she was not 100% up to par with the makers newest suits but I found her to be just as amazing. I was very thankful to get her and still continue to love her. I look forward to more time in her for the years to come. 🙂 Components Head Wear SatisfactionThis head fits me just right. It has a slight squeeze that makes me feel like it is secured on my head and will not come off or slide around when dancing and moving around. I can fit glasses into the head as well. I can wear it for hours with no discomfort which I have done. 🙂 My only small complaint would be that I slightly struggle with vision because of the light colors of the eyes it seems. The backs are painted black to combat this but the very lime green reflects and makes a bright hazy look to vision but otherwise is good enough to wear without much issue. I can still read and see in suit! Visual SatisfactionThis suit is beautiful. She has such a striking palette too! Shaving looks good, placement looks good, mouth lining good. Everything looks good. She feels so nice and soft! I love her minky tongue, nose, and mouth lining. Her tongue stretches and it makes me laugh. You can pull the tongue to the side and have it hang over the side of the mouth. Adorable! She has 2-D eyes that are beautifully painted. 3-D printed nose that never loses shape and always looks fabulous! Eyelids are permanent and non removable. One thing I want to fix is just to re-dry brush the eyelids but they have been touched and worn for hours on end. They just have a slight hint of the white fur underneath coming through. This does not affect her much visually. She still looks stunning! She is overall an absolute knockout with a sassy carefree expression!! Hands Wear SatisfactionHands feel great! Look great. Fully white fur, metallic gold claws, brown vinyl paw pads. I did not have a photo on hand of these. Gold claws were added at request and look fantastic. I have zero issues or complaints about the hands. These also have been worn hours on end without any issue. Very very durable. These paws were specifically unlined. This does not make them uncomfortable by any means. Visual SatisfactionAs mentioned above, they look great. Everyone compliments me on them! They're beautifully made and the added metallic claws were a fantastic addition! RatingFursuitReview 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 ItsProbablyMars. Final CommentsI am thrilled to have this gal in my life! She has served me well and continues to. I can't wait to bring her to the upcoming cons. Maker was great, suit is great. I am a happy dog!!! Based on this experience I would absolutely recommend their suits. I love the unique style and look especially! If my older suit holds up this well then I can imagine their newer suits are even better. I would love to get one in the future! Are you the maker of this item?
