Project Completion TimeItem shipped very fast after purchase. Overall Project QualityOverall he is a beautiful partial. He looks really great and was made fantastically. His style is so cute and his colors are so nice and vibrant and he's made to last. I am very happy with him, and have been. Despite the issues I've had with wearing his head with my glasses, I have never once thought of this as a bad fursuit or as anything other than it's just something that can happen when you buy a premade that isn't sized for your specifics. He is basically perfect. The makers did a great job on this collaboration. Components Head Wear SatisfactionAfter owning for 7 years and making this updated review, I have realized I don't think he fits my head the best. His head itself goes on relatively easily and it works, but I think the main issue is my glasses. If I wore contacts in the head he would be perfect. However, because of my glasses I have a hard time finding a comfortable position to keep the head on while figuring out where I have the best vision. I spend a lot of time pushing the muzzle around to adjust my glasses or if I need to see somewhere because my eyes basically sit directly at the muzzle. I don't consider this a fault of the suit itself however, and more of a fault of my glasses. I try to see out the eyes, but a lot of the time I have to grab his muzzle and pull it down to look at things and end up pretty blind. It's also tight on my glasses and adjusting the head takes my glasses with them, so I have to put my hand in through the mouth to hold glasses still when adjusting. I have never gotten sweaty while wearing him, though. Ventilation is great. His mouth is wide open and has enough room to stuff a fan in if I need to. The head material inside is comfortable. I understand that I purchased a premade item which means that the item was not made for me. I think if he was owned by someone maybe with a slimmer head, or someone who doesn't require glasses, he would fit honestly perfectly. Visual SatisfactionHe's a beautiful head. Everything about him is great. He's so amazingly cute and his colors are so wonderfully bright. Even 7 years later, he has held up fantastically and I honestly have not noticed any popped seams or any real signs of wear and tear. His fur is still nice and soft. His saber teeth are lopsided, but it's a handmade item and I think he's very cute with them. It gives him character and I am very fond of them. The shaving is great. Markings look great and sleek. I love his eyelids so much. He is literally a perfect fursuit head visually and I am very, very fond of him. Tail Wear SatisfactionThe tail works like it should! You put it on a belt and it sits in the spot you put it on, haha. It's a small nub so it doesn't get in the way much. The tail itself looks great. Durability is great. Has held up for 7 years so far with no signs of giving up yet. Easy to put on and keep there. Visual SatisfactionIt's super cute. It's a lovely little fluffy tail that looks really nice. It matches the head perfectly. The fur is very soft and smooth and has never shed. 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 Salmon Run Studios, Muntjacked. Final CommentsI have rewritten this review because I feel my last one was unfair in certain aspects of the aesthetic departments of the review. When I initially wrote the review years and years ago, I had been obsessed with watching "Fursuit Callout" videos, and so I thought to make a good thorough review you had to point out every little flaw with a fursuit. Now that I have more experience and follow more makers, I realize now that those little minor flaws do nothing to make the fursuit any lower quality than one without them. I love his little imperfections. Everything about him. He was a lovingly hand crafted object by two people with a lovely design in mind and he came out amazing. I thought the least I could do is go back and give a proper review of the things that really matter. I would always recommend this maker's suits to friends or anyone else.
