I knew the maker before the commission so it was friendly and communicated clearly through the process. They have a patreon and telegram which gets updated daily with progress updates for my suit and other suits and some personal life updates as well, but they are mostly cute farm animals. Project Completion TimeThe 3d model was made in October, head printed in December, majority of the work was in January and finished in February. It was a quick process and I knew my place in the queue. The maker is a friend so they dropped off the suit at my house. Overall Project QualityThe suit is fantastic quality, I have no issues with the build quality so far after wearing it to multiple conventions. The maker worked with me to find a good material that matched my color needs. The sculpting process is very cool to see for my suit and others they have made to make sure it reaches the vision of the suitor. The suit is super cute and unique style being somewhat of a toony and plush suit. I love the storage pouch, I love the expression. It fits perfectly. It does run hot and heavy but that's the cost to look cute. The build quality matches other Seresuits and matches their style. Components Head Wear SatisfactionThe head was well fitting. At first I was concerned with the size of it but I was able to try on the print and they were able to resize it for me. It is light weight and visibility is good. It is printed TPU so it is well ventilated. It has the usual visibility where there is a center blindspot, and the eye shines are printed circles so that also blocks some vision, but I am able to walk around on my own. It is lined with neoprene and absorbs sweat and makes cleaning easy. I am able to fit a whole fan in the muzzle and walk around without it being visible. The one small issue is that the neck is tight when I put it on with my glasses, I have to carefully pull it on and off to make sure my glasses do not press into my face uncomfortably. This is a minimal issue as I am able to move the tpu out of the way. Visual SatisfactionThe head was 3d modeled and printed with tpu by the maker. It has good symmetry and good shaving. It matches the character design well. I can't tell where the seams are on the head. It feels good and the markings are only from fur. The eyes are super cute and expressive with the eyelids. They teeth are printed and glued in well and adds to the character cuteness. The horns are perfect and soft which matches the soft plush character. The only issue I have visually is that the belly counter shading on the neck does not match with the body, it is not a big deal though. One-Piece Body Wear SatisfactionIt fits well and allows for good movement, I can stretch out just fine. I had my friends wear it as well and they are all bigger than me and they are able to fit it too. A lot of the suit is lined with neoprene which makes it run hotter and heavier, but it makes cleaning easier. The padding for the suit comes out as a suspender suit that can be separated, and it is made of a material that wicks away sweat, it has zippers so I can remove the stuffing to wash it and the suit separately. I have not had any durability issues. I requested the body to be all one piece except for the feet so the tail and paws are all attached as I do not see myself partialing this character. The suit is heavy due to this and the padding. The front pouch is lined with a mushroom pattern!! and is super useful to hang badges, store fans, stickers, cards, phone, wallet, water, etc… Visual SatisfactionVisually it is very symetric and match the character perfectly, they are trimmed well. The zipper is well hidden when zipped up. The shave is good, especially around the spot markings which are separate fur and cut to make it clearer. The fur is very soft and comfortable, the maker helped dig for the right green since for some reason a variety of greens are harder to find? They ordered a number of swatches from various companies to find the right one. The wings are cute and have a foam in them to keep their shape and they wiggle when I move my back. The shape was perfect, I was looking for something from DragonTales or Dragonite from Pokemon. The maker modeled it on their iPad and used a tool to convert the model into a pattern and edit it to shape the dragon shape. The mushrooms are all different and on safety pins so they can be moved around the suit which is super cute. He is friend shaped. Hands Wear SatisfactionThe hands are lined with neoprene which makes it good for absorbing sweat and cleaning them. They are made to be stuffed plush paws so they are not functional, and do not allow for much movement. They are attached to the body with wrist escapes so I can use my hands at a moments notice or put on the body by myself. The wrists can show if I stretch too far and the wrist escapes are pointed to someone. I have not had any durability issues. Visual SatisfactionThey are cute plush paws and they look good. They are shaved evenly and looks good. The colors are good and match the character sheet. Tail Wear SatisfactionThe tail is apart of the body suit so it cannot be removed. The tail has a big core, stuffing, and "spine" to help it wag. It drags on the floor and I have not had any issues with that, other than it gets dirty but that is to be expected. Visual SatisfactionIt looks great, people love the mushroom on the end. The part that touches the floor gets dirty but I don't mind. The material is really nice and soft and looks great. It moves well and wags. The mushroom matches the concept art perfectly. Feet Wear SatisfactionThe feet are good and light as they are printed tpu blanks. The base of the feet have had no issues so far. These have slip on shoes in them so they are comfortable and easy to clean. They are also lined to help keep them clean. They have zippers on them to attach to the body. I had an issue where the fur on the foot/body was too long so it was difficult to zip on with the fur in the way but I fixed it by trimming the fur and it made it easier. They can be difficult to zip on to the body while in the suit but it can be done. I have not had any durability issues. Visual SatisfactionThey are cute basic feet paws, good shave and symmetry. The material looks good and the color matches the rest of the body and the reference. RatingFursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker?
