Purchased through messages on Discord, though I know this isn't the standard for her work. Payments sent through Paypal. Requests for information like refs and measurements were clear and smoothly communicated. Maker CommunicationVery fast communication, lots of WIPs! All input was taken into account with politeness and grace. Project Completion TimeVery fast! Wanted it done before MFF 22, and the turnaround was perfect. I know it was only a partial but it's still impressive. Overall Project QualityAbsolutely perfect. For a first suit (!!!), this is impeccable work. Absolutely in love with every aspect. Durable, wearable, and exactly as asked. He's my darling. Also, honored to set the standard for other Seabunny works and creations in terms of the fursuit family. Will be bringing him to every convention! Components Head Wear SatisfactionAbsolutely fantastic. I had expressed concerns about heating up with long wear, so the eyes are fully mesh for high ventilation. This also makes my vision excellent (for a fursuit, :P) with only a small front blind spot and the usual cutoff of peripherals. The head is large enough to wear my glasses underneath with very little issue, which was done purposefully. Not too tight, not too loose, fits perfect. I found if I wear a collar with it (bought separately, pet store) it sits very steady on the head, but doesn't fall off without it, either. Was unbelievably easy to wear for three full days of MFF 2022 with very few breaks. Mouth is open enough to fit a straw through to drink. Visual SatisfactionUtterly adorable! Markings match the design exactly. The character is meant to be a stuffed animal (see: GIR from Invader Zim) and the cartoony stitches are so cute. Markings are very cleanly cut and well-shaved. Soft and brushable, very easy to maintain despite white fur. Poseable tongue is so bleppy!! Hair is held on with magnets and stays very well. I want to kiss him (the suit) on the nose every time i see him. Hands Wear SatisfactionVery comfortable! Made loose on purpose due to sensory issues. Only elbow-sleeves, worn without regard for skin showing, but they stay well on the arm while wearing long sleeves. No popped seams or other issues. Accidentally gave them slight finger stains but that's my own fault and was easily fixed with washing. Visual SatisfactionSooooo cute. Match the concept art perfectly. Had to do slight trimming between the fingers after some wear, which wasn't a huge issue but was just for ease of use over the course of the convention. Cuffs are not furred, and the fabric matches the character design. Tail Wear SatisfactionWears very nicely! Slides onto a belt, bought separately to get the correct fit. Nice bounce without slipping or sliding off sideways. Doesn't interfere with sitting in chairs much at all. No armature, but stuffed tightly to maintain shape. Visual SatisfactionVery nice! Subtler than most tails seen out on the floor, which works for me. Made of very short fabric so doesn't need brushing. Thick stitching is used to make it look like an opossum tail. Special FeaturesMagnetic hair, removeable/poseable tongue, and pickable nose with septum piercing. None are electronic, but the tongue and hair have magnets. Work perfectly as intended! Hair stays put unless doing something very intense like dancing or bouncing. Tongue position is easily changed and can be taken out to make drinking easier. Nose ring stays put inside and can be taken in and out easily. As high quality as the rest of the suit 🙂 RatingFursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker?
