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.
The head is huge, but surprisingly comfortable. The amount of fluff around the neck makes it a bit difficult to turn my head, but seeing through the eyes is great enough to make up for it. Norsewolf also included a built-in fan, so while the mouth opening is small, I get a lot of air from that and feel like I can wear it for quite a while without getting too hot. It essentially feels like I'm wearing a pillow on my face. Super squishy! Also surprisingly lightweight considering the size of it.

The magnetic eyebrows are adorable, but don't stay on too well, so I tend to only wear them for photos.

The vision is really good. Wide range with not a super large blind spot in front. I don't feel like it's too dark or too crowded to see anything.

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
He's adorable in every way. The symmetry is almost perfect. The shaving is clean and even. The mane is very well done, and has nice padding in it to give it the shape it needs. The fur itself is really soft and satisfying to touch. The heart on the cheek is well done. He looks like such a happy boy without the eyebrows, and has a mischievous look to him when the eyebrows are attached. I love it.

Special Attachments and Features
Please describe how satisfied you are with any extra features your head has.

---

HANDS AND FEET
The following questions ask you to explain how satisfied you are with each feature of the hands and feet of the costume.

---

Wear Satisfaction
Please describe how it is to wear these pieces of your costume.
The hands are incredibly comfortable and have enough dexterity in them to hold water bottles and whatnot. They're durable and feel like they'll last quite a while.

Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume pieces look from the outside.
They added little marks for where the claws would be, which is an amazing addition that I really enjoy. They are easy to wear and comfortable for long periods of time in suit.

The paw pads are incredibly soft. The fur at the fingertips is a bit more coarse than the rest of the hand, but soft enough to still be satisfying to touch.

They have some decent padding in them as well to give them a more puffy lion-y look.

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 well does everything fit together and match up?
Everything matches up and looks wonderful. You can't see my neck through the fluff and the hands go up my wrist enough that my arms will be hidden with long sleeves.

Everything fits as expected and I'm a little surprised at how well the head fit me, as I have a very small head and pre-mades tend to be a bit oversized on me.

The overall quality is excellent.


How easy was it to initially contact the maker for a quote?
Very very easy. I had their contact on twitter and we discussed suit options on there. They always responded within a day, and gave me all of the information I needed, including payment information, when to expect updates, etc.


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. Usually within a day, typically within a couple of hours. We started communication on twitter but ended up moving to Telegram after a while, as a mutual choice.


How satisfied are you with the professionalism and customer service and of the maker?
Incredibly satisfied. Very pleasant to work with and always seemed excited to be working on new parts of the suit.


How satisfied are you with how long your project took to complete?
I received this as a pre-made so I can't comment on completion time.


Are you happy with the product you received?
Incredibly happy. 10/10. It was absolutely worth the price, and I'd highly recommend commissioning Norsewolf.


Describe your overall experience with this maker.
Friendly, pleasant, and professional to work with. So much so, that I also commissioned a body suit to go along with the pre made partial. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Norsewolf to anyone. Prices are reasonable, timing is excellent, communication is excellent.
