Features: None Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactVery easy, in fact she contacted me! When I was attending BLFC with his 1.0 suit, Vryko dmed me on Instagram, inquiring about whether or not I would be interested in a refurb free of charge. Maker CommunicationExtremely satisfied, very timely and professional, as well as being so kind! She would always ask me before finalizing a decision, and was quick to respond as well. Project Completion TimeFrom initially sending his 1.0 suit, to receiving the refurbished version back, it took a little more than a month. Communication was clear and concise, and was given the tracking number as soon as she dropped him off. As well as shipping him securely, she was also kind enough to include gifts, including a custom badge, candy, stickers, and even a pin and a brush for the fur. Overall Project QualityI am extremely happy with the final product. He is very durable, yet still very comfortable to wear. As someone who has been there from the literal beginning of when his maker started making suits, the quality and aesthetics have drastically improved over time. Everything matches up at the seams, and the colors match perfectly. He fits wonderfully, and even if I were to need adjustments, I could do that due to his customizable nature. The suit looks so much better than I imagined it would! Components Head Wear SatisfactionThe head is very comfortable to wear, the lining is cool and breathable, and the padding is perfect. The velcro straps are adjustable, and the zipper in the back makes for an easy on/off process. The jaw is easy to move, which makes for good ventilation, and the vision is substantially better than it once was. Visual SatisfactionI could not be happier with how he looks, the symmetry on his markings, both sewn and airbrushed, are wonderful! The shaving is even and the fur is extremely soft. His expression matches his personality perfectly, and depending on the angle, his expression can change slightly if need be. From the ear shape to the expression and markings, the suit matches the reference sheet extremely well. RatingFursuitReview 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 Vrykolakosplay. Final CommentsStendarr 1.0 was her first premade, completed and sold to me in July 2019. For 4 years, I had that suit and he still held up very well. Vryko did this refurb free of charge, I only had to pay for shipping. I’m extremely thankful for her generosity and friendship! I cannot recommend Vryko enough, she makes beautiful, high quality suits and I implore anyone in search of a new suit to look into her. Are you the maker of this item?
