Date of Review 9 July 2016 Project Timeline Contact Date Commissioned Jan 2015, Paid in full Feb 2015 Completion/Ship Date Feb 2016 Item Completion Time (?) 13 - 23 Months Character Concept Art http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17748518/ Photos of Completed Product http://www.furaffinity.net/view/19197126/ Head Wear Satisfaction The head fits really well. Though the neck is a little tight and takes a bit to get on. Once it’s on it stays on. The head is made of expanding foam and is fairly heavy. It does cause the head to pull down and away from my face. Needs to be lighter or have some kind of strap to keep it in place. Ventilation is pretty good, air comes in through the mouth and eyes. Vision is good as well. There is a blind spot between the eyes but it’s not terrible. Visual Satisfaction The overall look is very good. Everything is symmetrical. The shave job is very well done. The fur is nice and soft. Like the expression and the follow eyes are great. Love the huge ears! The only issue I have with the head is the airbrushing around the eyes. To me it feels like too much for a male character. At some angles it makes the face look femminine to me. I liked it more before the airbrushing. I’ve added what the head looked like before and after the airbrushing: Body Wear Satisfaction The body suit fits really well. The seams are clean and trimmed and mostly free of fur. I haven’t had any issue with seams popping or coming undone. Easy to put on and off with a zipper in the front. Visual Satisfaction Once again the fur is soft and high quality. The color choice is what I asked for. The markings are even and line up properly. The marking on the back of the right leg is air brushed and looks decent. Though not completely symmetrical and feels rushed. But the air brushed fur is still soft to the touch. Here are pics of the marking: Special Attachments and Features This is my first suit with digi padding. I really like how the maker made the digi. The padding is in individual pillows that slide into place under the fur. I haven’t had much issue with them sliding around or moving out of place during wear. The padding is also very light and easy to sit on. Hands and Feet Wear Satisfaction Hands and feet are well made and durable. Clean seams and great soft fur. The hands could do with elastic around the wrists to help keep them in place but otherwise perfect. The feet fit perfectly. They are built on very nice slippers.I think the feet are made of the same expanding foam as the head. They’re a little heavy but don’t cause problems. Visual Satisfaction The fingers and toes are shaved very well. No backing showing. The fingers are stuffed, but soft and can still grab some things. The pawpads on hands and feet are a vinyl, I believe, and great quality material. Tails Wear Satisfaction The tail is attached to the body. Which makes for easy and simple wear. Again the markings are right. Visual Satisfaction Looks good. Haa a fun bounce when walking. Overall Product Satisfaction How was your concept art realized? How satisfied are you with how closely the suit matches the concept art? The suit matches the concept art. Very satisfied. How well does everything fit together and match up? How satisfied are you with how well everything fits together and matches up? Very satisfied. Overall Project Quality The suit itself is great. I love wearing it. The quality is great. Purchase Process Initial Contact It was very easy to initially contact and get a quote. Maker Response Time How satisfied are you with the response time from the maker? Mostly satisfied. Communication was quiet before my suit was actually being made. Which makes sense. But she was pretty prompt with answering questions. Maker Professionalism Maker was friendly and fairly professional. The main concern I have was that there was no terms of service that I could read. Then the confusion with deadlines. Project Completion Time How satisfied are you with how the deadline was met for completion of your project? Mostly satisfied. I was dissapointed that I didn’t get the suit for MFF 2015. But glad I got it within a years time. Once again, the maker needs to be more clear on timelines and even giving a rough estimate of completion date would be good. Rating FursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker? YES This review has been marked with a positive rating. This means the reviewer would recommend FurFancy Costumes. Final Comments I think I’ve gone over everything pretty thoroughly. There’s no question that the maker is skilled and makes good, high quality fursuits. Communication was really the only think lacking. Just not being clear in what was going on and what to expect from the maker. Are you the maker of this item?
