I was considering one, but this looks too femmy now.

I was trying to keep it fairly unisex. I've been making a bit of an effort not to assign a sex to them either, though the guys over at PuffyPaws did. I'm just happy to be getting an inflatable fox after 30 years of wanting one.

My next project is going to be decidedly more feminine depending on how the concept art works out. I have a few more potential projects in mind though, and some of those are going to be more masculine too. It'll take a while to get a feel for the medium and what looks good, but I'm happy to keep playing with it as long as my cash and storage space holds out.

its perferc for transformation in inflatable suit

As I was talking to them about that I was thinking it would be awesome to have a suit like this. I'm not about to attempt to turn this toy into one, but I'm thinking of talking to PuffyPaws or someone about building one as a separate project.

I know one of my friends missed the preorder and is trying to get in on the project so he can turn his into a suit. :3

Ooh! I would love something like that if there were ones made into an actual suit! That would be awesome! :D

Heh, it looks kinda nice.
You know, instead of the large ones, I wouldn't mind taking a tiny version around the size of a plush. Maybe it'd be easier to cuddle if you tried taking it to bed. (No, not like that.)

Looks good. Can't wait to have mine :3

Wow, looks brilliant! Really like the color choice, sooo vibrant. I can't wait to have her riding shotgun with me in my car.

I could totally try to pull that with the HOV lanes here in Alanta. :3

I'd like to get one, I must agree though with Ceralor since to me the eyes give it a female like look.

I love how it looks! Can't wait to get it! :D

still the coolest inflatable toy out there I think.
well designed and cute!

I'm still after PuffyPaws to do another run for the folks who missed them the first time. The inflatableworld.de husky was also done by Rawr and features several improvements I'd planned to make if I did a second generation fox. I've got a few more ideas in the queue before I'd revisit that one, though. I'll see how the new fox ride-on toy does at inflatableworld.de and then go from there.

I was curious about the husky and if it was inspired by her or not!
A second run could be quite awesome. I didn't even know about it til after the run.
Curious what improvements you had in mind?

Well they're both Rawr's artwork, but the Husky was made by someone else. The husky has actual feet. We discussed doing that on the vixen, but decided to keep the design simple. I also liked the husky's 1 chamber design, its slimmer body and longer muzzle. I think I'd leave off the hair, though.

I really like how the face on the fox toy I'm doing through inflatableworld.de turned out. I think if I were to do another anthro fox now, its face would be more like that. I really like the shiny vinyl they used for it, too. I wanted to do something like that on the original fox, but PuffyPaws' supplier couldn't manage anything like that. They do some freaking awesome seams though, I'll give 'em that.

Those could be interesting modifications, though I do admit to thinking the original design was rather well thought out. Nicely cartoonish looking and fun.
Would be cool to see the redesign though!

I am thinking of doing another anthro in the near future, though it probably won't be a fox. Like I said, I have several ideas in the queue that I want to get to before revisiting that. I've also kind of been hoping that someone else would do one, so I could see a different perspective on it. That keeps not happening, though. I guess I don't want to Bogart designing all the anthro foxes! I need to pay for a wingsuit I have on order before I do anything else, too.

From what I hear, iw.de has a lot of stuff coming down in the October shipment, too, so I'll need to assess what I'd like to see sooner rather than later once I see what they're offering. A lot of ideas I've had have already been done by others, sometimes better than my original idea -- that white Toothless dragon looks VERY nice! I was thinking of doing a big dragon in that style, but don't really need to, now. I was also going to see if maybe I couldn't have a Pony OC done, but am not going to pursue that idea with Hongyi merrily infringing on Hasbro's trademarks.

It's great that there are a lot of good toys available now. Five years ago when I did this fox, the inflatable toy landscape was pretty bleak.

Well that's pretty fair reasoning!
I wish you best of luck on the wingsuit. :)

And, you know, thanks for designing the toy that really sparked my interests in the whole shebang!

My pleasure! I'm glad you like the toy. Even though it was mostly just a present to myself for my 40th birthday, I was quite aware that other people would want one too, and tried to design something that would have widespread appeal. I hope you're able to get one at some point.

I couldn't have done it without Rawr -- working with him really makes the whole process very easy.

So far at least the wingsuiting thing is going swimmingly. I've managed flight times up over 90 seconds, which is over twice my average freefall time and distances that look to be in the neighborhood of 3 miles. Hopefully I can hit the 2 minute mark with the bigger suit I have ordered. The guys on the monster suits can manage nearly 4 minutes but tell me it's quite hard on the arms to keep them extended into the wind that long.

When you do it right, the whole suit inflates around you, which is pretty neat. and you can feel the air rushing through it. It's quite the experience!

It always looked pretty fun, but I could never bring myself to jump out of anywhere that high to try it. I can imagine it is quite the rush, and imagination is how close I shall stay to the concept for now. ;)
