Partial
Fursuit
Head
How satisfied are you with the fit of the head?
Is it too tight or loose? Does anything poke you, stab you, make it uncomfortable to wear? Is it Lined comfortably?
It's a little tight putting it on, but after it's on it fits perfectly~ it's also easy to take off. Nothing pokes, and it's a comfortable fit.
How satisfied are you with the vision?
Can you see well in front of you? Is there a large blind spot? Do you have to turn your head to see? (Note that most suits do not have peripheral vision)
Vision is great, I can see right ahead of me, the buckram works perfectly. I sometimes have to look down so I don't trip, but I've heard that's normal.
How satisfied are you with the ventilation?
Can you breathe well? Is the mask stuffy? Does the air circulate through your head?
Ventilation is good. The mouth is wide open so plenty of air comes through. I live in Texas, and I have not had any trouble breathing so far.
How satisfied are you with the symmetry of the head?
Are the eyes or ears lopsided? Are the markings symmetrical per character design?
Right ear is slightly lopsided, but it's only noticeable if you go out of your way to look for it. Eyes look just fine, markings are accurate.
Is the Shaving even?
Can you see the backing? Is it choppy? Is the transition to long fur what you were looking for?
Shaving job was great~ There's long hair on the cheeks and bangs, also the neck, which fits well for the character. As far as I can tell, nothing it uneven, and I definitely don't see any of the foam base.
How satisfied are you with the expression and overall appearance of the head?
I think the expression fit perfectly for her, a laid back, semi-smile. She really captured her personality.
The head looks very well done, besides some cosmetic things, like there is quite a few spots where hot glue is showing. Besides that, very accurate and a very nice look.
Hands and Feet
How satisfied are you with the fit of the hands and feet?
Will your wrists/ankles show is you stretch too much? Do they stay on your hands or do they slide off? Can you put them on comfortably with ease?
Very satisfied. Hand paws are a little big but they don't slide off, and wrists are concealed. Feet fit perfectly and stay on, ankles are covered as well.
How satisfied are you with the quality of the hands and feet?
Has anything come undone or fallen apart? Have any pawpads or claws fallen off?\
Again, very satisfied. Nothing has come undone in the time I've had them~ A bit of hot glue shows like on the head but the quality is still kept. I'm in love with the way she made the feet paws!
Tail
How satisfied are you with the quality of your tail?
Is it too cumbersome? Can you pull on it without tearing? Are the straps secure and even?
Tail is great, very high quality, and very long and fluffy. There are no tears, and the straps are even. They aren't completely secure so it swings around a bit, but it's normally fixed with a really tight belt.
How accurate to your concept art is your tail?
Did they get all the markings? Are the colors accurate?
Perfect. Completely accurate with colors and markings.
Ears
How satisfied are you with the quality of your ears?
Are they too cumbersome? Can you pull on them without tearing? Are they even on your head?
They're a little big, but I like that since it adds to the toony charm. They can be cumbersome with narrow/low doorways. They don't tear one bit, I prefer they aren't pulled but they stay sturdy.
How satisfied are you with the ease of wearing your ears?
Do they fall off? Are they painful to clip on? Do you require someone else to put them on for you?
Ears are attached to the head, and they stay on well.

Everything fits, colors and markings are consistent and well done. I haven't spotted any sign of inaccuracy or inconsistency.
