Did the maker finish the item by the expected date (ETA)?
YES - the ETA was accurate
Did you tell the maker about any issues you had?
Yes, he had sent me a photo of the paws and I wasn't happy with the color as it was a main part of the suit. He quickly fixed it for free after I offered to pay some sort of revision fee.
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.
It's generally a pretty good fit if a little loose. I could fix this easily with some padding. The visibility is better than I thought it would be and the mouth opening provides good ventilation. It also comes with removeable velcro eyelids with a sleepy expression, but this impedes visibility. I wouldn't wear them if I had to walk anywhere.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
It looks awesome, very striking. I love the gold in the eyes. The lil teeth and tongue are cute and the face is shaved correctly. The nose is soft pink minky and stuffed which I really like. The mane has the correct effect and I was very impressed with the color mixing they did. A lot of the suit is UV reactive, including the green fur in the mane. The markings are sewed together well, and the expression is the happy one I was looking for. The follow me eyes work great.
Special Attachments and Features
Please describe how satisfied you are with any extra features your head has.
Special features are the removeable eyelids. They stick on really well and don't fall off, but they do impair visibility quite a bit. I wouldn't recommend wearing them while walking.
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 body fits well with some room to spare. It is VERY heavy, but the character has long fur so there's nothing to do about that. I haven't had to worry about seams ripping or something feeling fragile, but the zipper sometimes comes off the track. Speaking of the zipper, it's well hidden and in the front. The padding is easy to insert and stays in place very well.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
The colors are correct, the mane effect works very well. It's very brightly colored and the lighter neon color is uv reactive, which was a happy plus. The fur is super soft and is keeping that way with regular maintenance.
Special Attachments and Features
Please describe how satisfied you are with any extra features your bodysuit has.
Padded legs- the padding just slips in. Stays in place and does not impede movement and is very soft and squishy.
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.
Both fit perfect. The hands can get VERY sweaty. Feet are easy to walk in and I can do some simple tasks with the paws. The pads are soft minky on the paws and exposed eva foam on the bottom.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume pieces look from the outside.
They look great, the little claw nubs are adorable.
Special Attachments and Features
Please describe how satisfied you are with any extra features your hands or feet have.
The left paw has a squeaker in the palm. Does not impair wear and gives me a lil fidget thing to rub in my hand.
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 attached to a belt which goes through the hole in the back. I had to buy the belt, but the tail fits fine and doesn't impede movement. It's big and soft.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume pieces look from the outside.
Looks like a tail and swishes easily. Very good.
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?
The maker required a reference sheet with a couple of views, very standard procedure. It looks like his interpretation of Honeydew, which isn't bad at all and I quite like, but don't expect it to be a 1 to 1 style wise. Nothing was altered other than slight color variations due to fur availability.
How well does everything fit together and match up?
Everything looks very professionally constructed, nothing looks awkward or misshapen, the markings are spot on. I think it looks a little more unique than some of the other wolves/dogs Felix has made which I liked. The final effect is striking.
How easy was it to initially contact the maker for a quote?
He opened on twitter I believe directing us to a form on FurAffinity. I submitted that form and was contacted by twitter when my suit was accepted. The form included prices, turnaround times, special add ons, links to DTD tutorials
How satisfied are you with the response time from the maker?
How long did it take the maker to get back to you?
He was pretty quick, we went back on forth on twitter dm, i think maybe an email or two, and Telegram. If I had a question or wanted an update at any point he was very quick to respond.
How satisfied are you with the professionalism and customer service and of the maker?
Felix was very professional, responsive, and open to changes. He frequently updates his Trello on each individual piece of each project he has and was polite as can be.
How satisfied are you with how long your project took to complete?
I want to say it was around 5-6 months? I was satisfied, especially since I was getting so many progress pics. He was able to meet my deadline for a con.
Are you happy with the product you received?
A++, this suit is awesome, Felix is a joy to work with.
