The first actual hippo fursuit that I know of, until now I have only seen mascots (and most of them cheap looking)
I can assure you this fursuit looks deceptively simple, that head shape, and the seam work, was very hard to do. Those feet have more seams in them than any pair of feet I have ever sewn, and the head took me days to shape right. We decided to simplify the hands and feet and overall go for a very cartoon look.
This fur is beautifully shiny and plush but shows seams maddeningly well, even when picked at with a brush and a pin.
the jaw does move and the eyes have a follow effect illusion.
Photos taken by my sister-in-law and modeled on my brother X3

PS the legs are too long/large on my brother, should look less wrinkled on the customer :)

Oh yeah, about that link to the video that I was supposed to post way back when:
Here we go. Long video but the suit is in there a few times and he got some pretty good shots of it.

Even when hand sewn, even when picked at with a brush and a pin, seams still show with this fur :/
It is beautifully thick, soft and plush though compared to typical seal fur and is even more shiny, and it will not get that matty appearance over time like typical seal does.
