Title: Fursuit like costume
Post by: Firelight on May 25, 2014, 09:32:14 pm
Dad and I found this! http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Adult-Plush-Furry-DELUXE-FOX-MASCOT-Cosplay-Costume-FAST-SHIP-/201036304512?pt=US_Costumes&hash=item2eceb29080

You want that?  :o If it were me, I wouldn't buy it.  :P That costume is just too cheap looking.  :P And probably made with inferior materials too which won't last long and make the costume fall apart. Did you read the details? It's one size only.
If you already have a job or are planning to get one, then I'd suggest saving your money for something far, far better and getting a commission from a REAL fursuit maker. ;)

For the price, I'd rather just get a kigurumi (http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/ec93/)
These things seem to have exploded in popularity recently.

I agree with Kobuk it doesn't look that good :P
the price is good but its not worth it
just save up a little longer
or make your own it will be cheaper :)

Agreed that it seems kinda generic/sketchy, especially for that price. Ziel's got a good suggestion with the kigurumi! I'm sure you could find a cute generic fox one, or if you do some shopping around, there are artists that do custom kigus or hoodies to look like your character in the $100-200 range.

I know it's exciting to think about getting a fursuit, but that's definitely one field where cheap pretty much never equals good. It's worth it to save up and wait a little longer for something that's good quality instead of blowing money on the least expensive thing you can find!

Yeah yeah I know. I found a less expensive fursuit maker called Mushie Magic fursuits. And I do have a fire fox hoodie.
