Features: Horns or Antlers, Wings Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactWe first made contact through FaceBook but then had all communications through email/telegram Maker CommunicationPerfect! Every single step of progress was sent to me and approved. She even sent me messages of suggestions as to extra things we could do for my fursuit. There were no delays, no excuses, very professional and friendly! She acted as excited as I was for my fursuit! She definitely enjoys doing what she does! Project Completion TimeExceeded expectations! To have a fullsuit completed in less than a year is phenomenal!! And this was shipped from Brazil to England within this timeframe as well! Overall Project QualityI commissioned Coby Wong back in December 2019 and she was super communicative, lots of progress photos and videos! She gave me so many options and bells&whistles I could have featured on my fursuit! We decided that she would have: -Kemono style eyes -Foam head -Interchangeable magnetic eyelids -Interchangeable magnetic tongues -Interchangeable magnetic horns -THICC fursuit with drop crotch -Removable wings on a harness -Big stompy feet paws -Glow in the dark pair of horns as well as glow in the dark eyes She had to be shipped in TWO BOXES because she is such a big fursuit! Many people have actually commented that she looks like a plush suit because of her big bappy paws! The final box arrived on 01/11/19 only 10 months after my first payment to Coby. I honestly could not be happier with her, she is so gorgeous! Very comfy to wear (as fursuits go!), totally adorable and so much fun to fursuit as her! The price was very very reasonable, I don't think you'd be able to find a fursuit now-a-days for such a good price. Overall, Coby absolutely exceeded all expectations, I could not ask more from her! I would HIGHLY recommend Coby Wong fursuits to anyone looking to commission one! Components Head Wear SatisfactionThe fursuit head is quite tight and heavy but this doesn't bother me in the slightest! It is fully lined and comfortable to wear. Being a bit tighter and the mouth is very small, being a kemono head, the ventilation isn't the greatest but I've never had a problem with it. The vision isn't the best but again, it is a kemono fursuit and they are more of an "advanced difficulty" in fursuit wearing! When I'm walking I sway my head from side to side to get a full view of what's around/in front of me. It works for the character! Visual SatisfactionPerfect symmetry, shaving is literally perfect and smooth! She's very soft and easy to brush! Her expression is leaning happy/neutral and can be changed depending on the eyelids I choose to use (My maker added the eyelids in free of charge on her own decision!!) The eyes are reflective, mirror-like in appearance and I get lots of compliments on how pretty her eyes are! Her mane and fur stripe going down the back were purple on the ref sheet but were made pink on my fursuit. However, I actually prefer this as pink and blue is my favourite colour combination and really makes her stand out more! One-Piece Body Wear SatisfactionShe fits me perfectly! Never had any issues with seams or movement! The bodysuit is not lined and the padding is sewn in meaning I cannot fully submerge the suit in water. I wear underarmour and this stops any sweat from getting to the fursuit so she never needs a full submerge anyway! I always clean her with isopropyl alcohol after every wear and she smells very clean! The fursuit is incredibly hot but that is down to my own choice of wanting a silly amount of padding everywhere! Visual SatisfactionPerfect symmetry, shaving is literally perfect and smooth! She's very soft and easy to brush! Her mane and fur stripe going down the back were purple on the ref sheet but were made pink on my fursuit. However, I actually prefer this as pink and blue is my favourite colour combination and really makes her stand out more! The padding makes an excellent body shape, I sometimes just wear the body suit alone when hanging out with friends at cons since it's so comfy and visually appealing to me. Hands Wear SatisfactionThe paws are very padded and go up to the forearms. I cannot move my fingers too much because of the padding, they are similar to plush suit paws. They require 2 people to put them on as once I have one paw on it would be impossible to put the 2nd on by myself. They are very comfy and good to bap people with. Visual SatisfactionThe paws match the character design, my maker added translucent pink claws and they are all attached firmly and face the right direction. Perfect symmetry, shaving is literally perfect and smooth! She's very soft and easy to brush! The paw pads are fleece which are easy to care for. Tail Wear SatisfactionThe tail is big and solid in an "S" shape meaning there isn't much movement in the tail itself. It's very well made but very difficult to travel with if you don't drive since you cannot fold it at all! Visual SatisfactionPerfect symmetry, shaving is literally perfect and smooth! She's very soft and easy to brush! Matches the character design exactly! I don't use this tail much anymore as I do not drive and it's very difficult to travel with unfortunately! Feet Wear SatisfactionThe feet paws are very comfortable to wear! They are digitigrade paws that come up to my knees and get tucked under my bodysuit legs. They are possible to put on by myself but I do need an extra person to tuck them into my bodysuit. They are fully lined and have foam soles. They can be a little slippery on smooth flooring but I've never come close to falling over in them! They are a bit too big to go up and down stairs, again, this was my own decision to have big digitigrade feet/legs! Visual SatisfactionPerfect symmetry, shaving is literally perfect and smooth! She's very soft and easy to brush! They are fully lined and have foam soles. They can be a little slippery on smooth flooring but I've never come close to falling over in them!
