Date Commissioned or Bought

Date Completed or Shipped
June 29 2018

Shipping Origin
USA

Did the maker finish the item by the expected date (ETA)?
There was no ETA given


Did you tell the maker about any issues you had?
Yes. She'd missed some markings so I just had her fix them. I also told her about how the body did not quite fit properly and wasn't easy for me to wear. She did offer to fix it, but I decided against it since I decided to just wear the body with a different head.

HEAD
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the head of the costume. If you are reviewing only a set of ears, your answers would also go in this section.

---

Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear this piece of your costume.
Wearing the head is okay. It gets hot very quickly because the mouth has no ventilation. It's even hotter when I have on the kemono dome eyes. The eyes are made of a mesh from a craft store rather than buckram, and they're also white, so it's pretty hard to see out of. It's a zipper head, and rather hard to zip up with all of the fur, but that's not that big of an issue. On the inside is a baseball hat that you can adjust to secure the fursuit head to your head. It's a nice feature since it keeps the head from slipping down. However, when I got it, it did have a pin in it. The pin was facing the other way, though so there's no way I could've gotten stabbed or anything. It wasn't a hazard to my health is what I'm trying to say. The neck is completely lined, as is the inside of the head and the nostrils of the plush nose. The eyes are removable, and pop in easily, but the left glossy eye is hard to get in, and often falls out.

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
As for the head, I'm honestly not very fond of it. I don't see my character when I look at it, and compared to her other heads, it's just not up to par in my opinion. The symmetry is a bit off in the mouth, and honestly the head kind of looks funny. I did approve the foam base, thinking the muzzle would've been a bit longer than what it appeared to be. She sent pictures of the foam base and after the furring, which is when I had to get those markings fixed. The inside of the mouth has "gums" and looks nice. I honestly like it, but it makes the ventilation awful. There was some threads sticking out, but I can easily trim them.

The fur is luxury shag and I picked it out and provided all links to. It's soft and nice to touch. The shaving is really nice and smooth.

The expression of the head isn't really what I was going for (https://sta.sh/019a9j85v2l0 - expression idea). In my opinion it's hard to tell the expression of the head.

Overall it matches the art I sent but I just don't see this head really representing my character.

Special Attachments and Features
Please describe how satisfied you are with any extra features your head has.
The eyes are removable, and pop in easily, but the left glossy eye is hard to get in, and often falls out. The matte eyes are fine, so I'd rather wear those. We agreed on some jewelry and a fan in the head, but she forgot them completely.

BODY
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the body of the costume.
If you are reviewing armsleeves or legs/pants that are seperate from a bodysuit, your answers would also go in this section.
(Appendages, such as hands, feet, tails, etc., are discussed later.)

Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear this piece of your costume.

The digitigrade drop crotch body has attached hands which I requested and attached feet which she told me she always does for a seamless look. Upon first getting my suit, it was a bit hard to actually get on. I expected that, being that this is my first time ever wearing a body. However, I quickly found it was hard to lift my arms all of the way or bend down. My duct tape dummy was accurate. We even cut the areas in the armpits to get an exact fit. It still may be partially my fault as I didn't pose in a "T pose". I posed in a way that had my arms down, but I don't think that should've been an issue. The maker didn't exactly specify a pose, I just followed the one done in the video linked. It's lined in the arms, in the legs and in the neck. The legs are lined so the stuffing doesn't spill out, but I may have to sew it soon since some of it has come undone. Other than that, the seams are pretty strong, despite me having a hole in the black part of the left arm after the second wear. The zipper is in the front and has a holographic ribbon for me to pull up and down to zip myself up. It's very handy and would be easy to hide if I hadn't chose to get attached hands. It's very easy to zip up and not very visible if I brush it. There is stuffing in the legs and back of the suit.

I can't bend down or lift my arms past my head or anything. The legs do limit movement, which is expected. Overall the wear satisfaction is about a 5/10. It's not as bad as it could be, but it's not super pleasant to wear with the extremely limited movement. I can't really do poses like squatting ones or anything, which I used to absolutely love doing and fit my character.

I'm satisfied with the attached feet, but I wouldn't go for attached hands again. That's not the fault of the maker, it's my fault.

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
As far as the body goes, it does look okay. I didn't like how the digitigrade actually looked at first, but it looks better when I have on a different head. It's sort of grown on me. The back of the feet do look kind of odd in my opinion, and the pink sharpie/marker the maker used shows through because the suit's feet are mainly white. I don't like how choppy the shaving is on the feet. I didn't get pictures of the whole body until after it was done and shipped to me. Overall the appearance is nice, it's just how uncomfortable to wear that mainly effects me. I dislike how low the crotch is, and wish it was a little higher.

TAILS
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the tail(s) of the costume.

---

Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear these pieces of your costume.
The tail is nice to wear, but hard to get on. I have to have a SUPER long belt to put it on.

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume pieces look from the outside.
Looks great, nothing really wrong with it or anything aside from some threads sticking out.

OVERALL SATISFACTION
The following questions ask how satisfied you are with the overall buying experience, including your interactions with the maker and the resulting final product.

---

How was your concept art realized?



How well does everything fit together and match up?
The head looks a bit odd with the body. The body looks better when I have on the other head.

The body looks fine alone, but is hard for me to wear as previously stated. I can't bend down, squat, or lift my arms. I can only lift my legs up past a certain point, most likely because of the drop crotch.


How easy was it to initially contact the maker for a quote?
Fairly easy to contact the maker and I was quickly responded to


How satisfied are you with the response time from the maker?
How long did it take the maker to get back to you?
Very satisfied. Very quick response time. All through one media


How satisfied are you with the professionalism and customer service and of the maker?
Very satisfied. Maker was very kind, very professional, not at all mean or hard to talk to.


How satisfied are you with how long your project took to complete?
I'm satisfied, it was super fast. The shipping was fine, but it was storming where she was so I didn't mind waiting for my suit to be shipped.


Are you happy with the product you received?
I don't feel like the head was exactly "up to par" with the maker's previous heads or projects. It wasn't really what I was expecting. The body is okay.


Describe your overall experience with this maker.
The customer service is great. Badger is kind and professional. I would not recommend her due to the body not fitting and the head not really being the quality I expected. I think she could do so much better. Her customer service is great, shipping was fast, suit was done fast. It's just that one area that needs improvement.

**Please don't harass the maker. I will request that this be deleted if she starts getting harassed. This is for her to IMPROVE not to cause her to be hurt or anything of the like what so ever. She offered to fix everything for FREE and pay shipping. She even offered to send the fur to me or to another maker if they're fixing it**
