Overall

Initial ContactI had the chance of talking with Saika during furcons informally, before asking for a quote.


Maker CommunicationSaika was amazing to work with. She was very clear about the fact that this was one of the first fullsuits she ever did, so I had to be understanding and patient. She also offered me a discount for that. She was incredibly thorough in explaining every step to me, making sure I would've made the right decisions for me. Communication and customer care is probably Saika's strongest point.

Project Completion TimeI had no rush: the project took about the time I expected.


Overall Project QualityAll things considered, I'm very satisfied with this project. I'm very happy with the final outcome and about my overall experience.


Components


Head

Wear SatisfactionThe headpiece is very confortable to wear, and air circulates adequately.


Visual SatisfactionI'm extremely satisfied with the design, the craft quality and the expression.


One-Piece Body

Wear SatisfactionThe bodysuit fits my body very well. I have good mobility.


Visual SatisfactionWith the exception of a small difformity (elbows), the bodysuit nicely imitates the given design.


Hands

Wear SatisfactionHandpaws are comfy anf fit my hands really well.


Visual SatisfactionOverall, the design is adequate.


Tail

Wear SatisfactionThe tail, when properly installed, stays just right (not too low so that wipes the floor), even if it's very big. That is quite remarkable.


Visual SatisfactionThe tail is very well proportioned to the waist and thighs, the design is amazing.


Feet

Wear SatisfactionFeetpaws are extremely comfortable. Said that, the zipper doesn't seem top quality and it would've been nice if it were sealable from both sides. Getting dressed is a bit difficult but not painful, afterall.


Visual SatisfactionFeetpaws design is very nice.


Special FeaturesSpecial features include 3 sets of expressions, wiggly ears, and moveable eyebrows.
Moveable eyebrows and expressions are great. Wiggly ears are nice, but could be improved.
