Maker CommunicationDuring construction updates happened daily, it was a delight watching my boi coming together. All contact after the commission was accepted occured through telegram. If I had any questions once I had received my suit Remi always replied within a day and helped with every question. Project Completion TimeI was blown away with the speed. Construction was less than 2 weeks. My time on the wait-list was longer than average due to factors outside Remi's control though this was communicated clearly by remi and their well maintained Trello board. Overall Project QualityI was blown away with the entire process. The suit is a delight to wear and I look forward to any opportunity I can get to wear him. He is easy to take on and off with the front zipper and even easier to maintain once I bring him home from a convention. Was well worth the money. Components Head Wear SatisfactionFit it nice and snug (I have a big noggin). Remi requests head measurements to get it just right. Visual SatisfactionThe head is perfect, symmetry is spot on the shaving is nice and even. The expression is adorable and with my eyelids I can make him have any expression I want. One-Piece Body Wear SatisfactionThe wear is amazing, being in Australia I requested a little wriggle room so I could fit an ice jacket comfortably and it does so seamlessly (In all my photos I am wearing an ice vest!) Air flow is quite good though with thicker digi legs they can get hot with a lot of walking. Visual SatisfactionRemi knocked it out of the park with the visuals, the markings are perfect and the wings are amazing. The stitching is nice and sturdy and does not tear if I accidentally pull on them. The fur they used is lovely and short and saves hours of brushing. Hands Wear SatisfactionThe paws wear nice and snug with the plushy nature of the paws allowing for a little dexterity when I need them. They are both tagged for left and right so there is no confusion. Visual SatisfactionVery well made with claws and paw pads being the correct color. Tail Wear SatisfactionThe suit has a zip around the base attaching it firmly to the suit, when I full suit I never wear a belt as a result. The tail does have two lips on it so I can unzip the tail and loop it through the belt for partialing. I had my fox tail followed up with a bat nub tail about 12 Months after the rest with the same quality of construction. Visual SatisfactionBoth tails match my markings perfectly. My fox tail swings perfectly when I wear it, I occasionally miss it's swing once I take it off. The nub tail stays nice and high when I risk the fox tail getting dirty (like after wet weather). Feet Wear SatisfactionThe feet paws (which are permanently attached to the body suit) are lined, wear like a sock and are super comfy. They are super easy to clean, there is a hidden zip in each heal to have the stuffing removed for cleaning and adjusting which is super convenient. All the padding in the suit is removable making cleaning a breeze. Visual SatisfactionMuch like the paws they match the rest of the suit and have the correct colours. Special FeaturesThe wings on my suit are seamlessly sown into the joint line of my body suit from my knees right up to my wrist (they cannot be removed). The fingers are made out of a firm foam throat gives them shape while letting them bend and flap around, packing down tightly when I need to travel with my body suit.
