Maker CommunicationEasy form to submit with multiple options and FAQ explanation on ordering and design options. Maker was prompt with selection and timetables through production. Treated very well. Project Completion TimeVery fast completion time of 3 months. Visible public queue that's updated often with detail during production. Shipped timely. Overall Project QualityMaker has been very prompt when responding with questions, visible queue and helped explain options and design during production. Marker has been supportive after shipping in answering questions about maintenance and adjustments. Very satisfied. Many complements when worn and price was fair. When worn everything matches up and fits correctly, consistent with the maker's style. Components Head Wear SatisfactionVery good vision, eye mesh allows very little obstruction to normal view. Carved foam, very light weight and fits well on the face with room for a small internal fan. Able to turn head without issue. Comfortable to wear for hours. Lined interior makes cleaning easy. Visual SatisfactionWire whiskers add a lot of character. Symmetrical with small custom markings. Mouth allows holding props and room for a drinking straw. Expression as expected and matches concept. One-Piece Body Wear SatisfactionLycra? soft lining in lower half for padding/digitgrade. Fits well and easy to get on even with padding. Heat is as expected, worn with a cooling vest but headless lounge fan air penetrates and cools down. Visual SatisfactionMatches character design and long fur has been great hiding of bodysuit zipper. Fur has held up very well. Padding has maintained shape even with multiple packings Hands Wear SatisfactionHands are lined with a Lycra? soft lining, fits well and able to manipulate while wearing. Hands stay on when worn. Dries fast after wearing. I do need help tucking gloves under bodysuit sleeve to secure hands but otherwise no wear issues. Visual SatisfactionWebbing between hands is great for pictures, fur matches to body when combed after wearing. Tail Wear SatisfactionAttached with both a circular zipper to bodysuit as well as loops for tailbelt. Not too heavy as its full plush, tip drags on the ground but cleaning has been easy so far. Visual SatisfactionWith the circular zipper securing it to the suit, seamless and visually the best part of the suit. Easy to wag and wiggle it per "review" video. Feet Wear SatisfactionFeet are perfect, Cloth lined and secure the feet without issues. Visual SatisfactionTwo sets of feet: Parade and Paw feet pads, both looks well when worn, match concept art.
