Back in 2000 I had a group photo of all my fursuits, and it was about time I updated it. On Sunday of FC 2013, OMGfursuits took me and seven of my critters out to Cesar Chavez Plaza and got some wonderful photos.
Here's one featuring some human in the middle.
Twilight - built by me, 2008
Walden - built by Shawn Keller, retrofit by me, 2003
PolkaDog - built by me, body 2006, head (v3) 2009
Blip - built by SurfCat Costumes, refit by me 2011
Baron - built by JavaCostumes, 2010
Pachinko - head built by LatinVixen, body by Cabby, acquired 2011
me - built by Mr. & Mrs. Chin
Yippee - built by me, 1996
not pictured: Candy v1 (1998), R.T. Dodger (1998), Pinky (built by Dave Kuhn, 1994), Tech E. Coyote (2006)
Many thanks to Chance and my friends who spent their Sunday afternoon confusing FC attendees and San Jose residents.

Twilight is still the greatest thing to happen to fursuits since faux fur. <3
Fucking adore that bunny.
Fucking adore that bunny.
I think he and nevermint are battling each other to see who can own the most suits at once time. :3
He is not even in the running.
I have 23 fursuits and I dont think I am in the top twenty of who has the most fursuits.
I heard that someone is looking at braking a hundred. I don't know if its true or not.

I'll take that as a challenge. *Initiates Operation Dalmatian Nation Domination*

you mean I've been trying to keep you two separate in my head...and they were both you all along!?
I um... actually failed to greet you RL at Califur not realizing you were also the other guy.

I wanted to introduce myself properly at Califur, but for some reason or another couldn't find the courage to do so.
This is a very awesome character portfolio shot of you!! I love it!
Man oh man, what a cast! :) Even found myself talking about Blip this weekend, not knowing he was an addition to your cast!
Swell shot!
Swell shot!
Awww! yeah, Blip is a fun one. He doesn't get out much though. When/where did you see him?
That's awesome. I had no idea you were Baron also! Twilight and Baron are 2 of my faves.
Man, I love you Me suit, I wonder if I can get one just like him? maybe I can borrow him sometime *nods*
Luv you and all of your cutie selves ;)

Wait, where's mysteryotter? :D
But seriously, that is a cute picture! I was walking down the street with some folks when I saw you all gathering and I had to rub my eyes a little cause I thought I was seeing things. :)

haha! A few people were wondering if the otter was gonna photobomb the picture!
Man, I've always wanted to wear one of your suits, but I can't decide which one other than Candy version 1. Love 'em all!
Blip. was kinda under the radar. I acquired him in time for FC2011. I wanted to keep him kinda secret so I could establish his character without influence. He's also supposed to be a speaking character, but he speaks in an alien gibberish. He doesn't get out much, and I didn't even get to wear him at FC. I might bring him to TFF to make up for it.
The logistics involved in getting this photo must've been a huge undertaking! Cudos for that alone!!
my hotel room was very full on Sunday getting everyone ready!
"Me- built by Mr. & Mrs. Chin".. LOL.
I can't tell you enough how much you and all your characters inspired me (and probably hundreds of others!) to start fursuiting in the early years of my involvement with this fandom... thank you! It's great to see them all in one place!

What sourcery is this! I KNEW it, you are secretly octuplets, or perhaps more?
I like this man. It was done very nicely. I actually would like to get something like that done of mine
:) I guess Candy was taking the day off at a spa or with cheerleader practice. You're looking pretty good these days.
Candy v2 (rebuilt 2010) was sold to a local friend, but I still have Candy v1. She needs a little refurbishing, but I'm not sure what to do with her. Candy v2 kept the name, so I was thinking of renaming the original, maybe changing up her colors to make her look different. Lollipop maybe?
Thanks - I try to take care of myself, though I have been gaining a few pounds here and there.

Perhaps she could keep her name and both suits could be sisters or you could give them the same first name but have a different middle name.
I have mental head-space for each of them, a few keywords for their characters that form the basis of each personality. A quick peek in the mirror to see who is staring back helps reinforce that, and then as I walk, I carry myself differently which gets me into the character.
Love this! great pic! Wish I did that with all mine before I cut back and sold a heap of them off.
MY HERO!!!
What a neat idea and such a great photo!

Your critters go back quite a long way. I have to say Yippee himself has stood the test of time being 17 years old. Is Yippee the oldest critter in the fandom that is still running around?
I think Yappyfox is older, although I'm not sure if Yappy rebuilt his suit at any point.
Yappy had a mascot-style fox back when I first met him in 97-98, then Herbie built the bright red one, around 1999. I think he was rebuilt at some point since then. I could dig up photos of the old "Yappy Slyfox" - in fact there's an old Orlando news report with him in his old suit. Finding that video is left as an exercise for the reader.
Oh, no! Yippee makes an appearance! He must have been passing by on Route 66!
Hang on... you're Blip?
I did not know that!
I've never met Walden, sadly. He looks fantastic, though - I've seen many pics of him.

Call me crazy, but out of all the critters pictured here, I still like the one in the middle with the blue shirt the best. :)

Dang! I really like the shot. It somehow reminds me of really good 35mm film. Omgfursuits did a great job!
Also, Twilight and Blip. <3 <3 <3 <3

haha! Oh you... a bunny will have to pay EXTRA special attention to you at Furry Fiesta!
I love all your suits and how much character you put into each! <3 NEVER stop spreading youthful cheer and wonderful vibes by being in suit!
Dayum hon! That's one amazing collection you've gotten yourself there! ^..^ And you've been suiting since '94?? Geeze, you've been at this for as long as I've been reading comics!!
ive said it before and i will say it again. yippee, if you ever even think og selling twilight i want to be the first to know. he is an adorable suit :P id sell my soul to get him if you did part with him xD
Twilight is very close to me, and I doubt I would ever sell him.
And what would I do with a soul? oh yeah GET DOWN AND BOOGIE..!

Very nice. I'm sure you are proud of all your suits. That ugly human in the middle has to go though.
well you know, Affirmative Action. Gotta have a token human, right?
You really shouldn't use the "H" word unless you're human. They're kind of sensitive about that.
I can imagine getting this all set up was rather amusing, and possibly a little cramped for the hotel room.
Anyways, I'm reminded that out of the suits I've seen you in, you really do carry yourself differently for each one. Each character has their own different mannerisms and personalities, major props and kudos for taking the time to come up and carry out all of that for each one.
As for particular characters...
While I don't think I've seen you in Blip, I gotta' say he does look like a cute alien. I like the big pink schnoz of his.
Yippee - I believe this was the first suit of yours I saw in person when I went to AC for the first time in 09'. That's where I learned that the mouth can be opened up rather wide, and it promptly became the first suit to gave me a visual which broke my brain. XD
Pachinko - I remember wondering if there would be any "Hellloooo Nurse!' moments at FC last year due to the theme, and I'd say Pachinko filled that quota nicely. <3
Twilight - Ever since I suited up for the first time at AC 2010, I've always had a wonderful moment with this bunny. Keeps stealing a piece of my heart every time we dance, and I sure don't mind. <3

This is great XD Was wondering if it will be posted *hugs* really happy you brought Yippee out again and share time and fun with us.
Not only it took some time and effort to put the photoshoot together, it also came a long way to have all these guys with you (especially you since you are the oldest among them all! XD). This is simply adorable Yippee

FC is my local con, and I brought them all by car.
Other cons I pack maybe 2-3 suits on the flight, depending on baggage charge.

Heh, I figured. Next question will be, which are you bringing to FWA?~
At least Twilight...not sure who the other one will be. I was even considering bringing Yippee out of retirement.
I met you wearing Twilight. Should be good to see that one again. Baron and Walden are two I havent seen tho, if that makes any difference~
If he has an addiction at 12 fursuits what would you say I have that I have 23 fursuits?
At TFF, late Thursday night was me as Blip. On Saturday night and Sunday afternoon Blip was not me.
Wow. My mind is blown. I've been a fan of Walden, Twilight, Yippee and Pachinko for ages... I didn't even know half of these were yours.
*snuggles all of them :3 *

Aww heheh thanks for the kind words. I acquired Pachinko about 2 years ago.
You probably don't remember me, I stopped you at Megaplex to tell you that Pachinko has such great personality. It's awesome to see the man behind the face!
So cute it hurts! <3
You need more blue on your characters tho~ ;)
