Do you have any prior experience with fursuits?
This is my first head (partial or otherwise) and I have not sure before.
However, my suiting friend tried it and was very impressed with the field of customers it offers and we both find it refreshingly cool whole in use on the temperature aspect.

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 field of vision is wonderful and the mesh used to make the white eye socket look is easy to see through while also doing it's aesthetics job very easily.
There is a hidden controller mounted on the head to operate the LED 3rd eye that is easy to use without having to look at it.
The horns and fur are securely fixed and have so far been durable. The head has cushioning to reduce strain on the wearer's head and neck, and Velcro strapping for an easy, personal fit.
Overall I am highly satisfied with the head and would give it five stars.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
The color work on the head is well done, and mimics real bone wear on the skeletal portions. The fur's coloring is lovely and vivid and the colors are rich and complent each other very well. It has yet to bleed, fade, or change in any way, yet remains almost silky smooth to the touch while also retaining it's volume.
The head is based on the idea of the element Antimony (Where it gets its name from) and draws from the metal for its design and style.
Thought and creativity was put into coming up with this piece, and it really shines through. : 3
(It was an original designed by the creator, and an Elemental series is tentatively in the works.)
My friends and my sister were enamored with it when they first saw it and complimented it thoroughly.
Five out of five stars.
Special Attachments and Features
Please describe how satisfied you are with any extra features your head has.
The remote control for the LED, as mentioned above, is easily accessible and can be reached while the head is worn (though it may take practice to do so flawlessly) and is hidden from view in a pocket inside the head.
The accessories chained to the head are fairly durable. I've had one chain link loosen the whole time I've had it, and it is easy to fix back like it was.
A cast enamel pin of the the sign for Antimony was included with the head and it's professional quality.
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?
The head, as a whole and in each part, looks wonderful. Each piece looks like it belongs together with all the others and the head as a whole looks inspired and timeless
There are hidden claps to hold the the hanging parts of fur together to conceal the wearer's neck and keep them warm when it's cold or windy. The fur hangs attractively when it's hot to increase the already notable ventilation further without detracting from the looks or style of the head.
The maker has at least one other metal in the Elemental series they've bee done, and it does keep with their style on this one while being uniquely different.
How easy was it to initially contact the maker for a quote?
The maker is easily contacted through multiple social media outlets. I met them at Megaplex in the Dealer's Den.
The piece was premade when I purchased it.
How satisfied are you with the response time from the maker?
How long did it take the maker to get back to you?
The maker has had satisfactory response time on inquiries to future projects and/or purchases.
How satisfied are you with the professionalism and customer service and of the maker?
The maker is professional and personable; a pleasure to work with.
How satisfied are you with how long your project took to complete?
The head was pre-made.
Are you happy with the product you received?
I am very happy with my purchase and plan to be for a very long time.
The head is holding up very well and even now is still in sellable condition, so that should speak for it itself.
Describe your overall experience with this maker.
The head is wonderful, Rhee had proven reliable and responsible with this purchase, the work quality is obvious, and I would happily recommend this maker to others.
