Features: None Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactThe original item was a gift from someone (not the maker) but I was able to contact her very easily on telegram to ask her to do the repairs after 10 years. She has a group for all of her fursuiters! Maker CommunicationI am very satisfied with the professionalism! Phoenix is very nice and kind. Project Completion TimeAfter the head arrived to her for the refurb she started working on it right away and had it finished in a week. Overall Project QualityI couldn’t be happier with my fursuit head!! I’ve had it for over 10 years now and it has been a big part of my life and my relationship with the fandom. Fursuiting has made me lots of friends over the years and I get a lot of compliments on my suit, people saying that it inspired them to get a fursuit, and some saying it inspired them to have a corgi as their fursona! After 10 years there was no major damage to my suit, just the nose material peeling off. The maker was more than happy to refurbish the head after 10 years and add new eyes, a new nose, and clean up the shaving. The quality is truly incredible. Components Head Wear SatisfactionThe head is very comfortable to wear. The fit is perfect, not too loose or snug. Nothing pokes or stabs or is uncomfortable! It is fully lined and is easy to clean – I use a bissell little green to clean it but I believe it could be washed in a machine if necessary. The ventilation is good, the vision is very good! There is a small blind spot where the nose is just like my other fursuits, nothing major. I can wear it for long periods of time, it is not heavy. Visual SatisfactionThe head is very cute, the markings are nice and clean and the shaving is very clean and smooth! No visible seams or hot glue. The fur is soft and smooth. The markings are symmetrical. The ears, nose, and eyes are high quality and very cute, the fur colors picked are a great match for the reference sheet. The expression is very cute and friendly and I love the little teeth and tongue! RatingFursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker?
