YES - the ETA was accurate
Did you tell the maker about any issues you had?
There were no issues.
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.
Heads built on resin bases aren’t typically very comfortable without padding, but surprisingly, Titus is pretty okay. The hinges for his moving jaw are completely covered, there are elastic straps so he’ll fit any wearer’s head size, no discomfort on any part of my head. He does get pretty hot quick in the summer, but nothing a little fan in his beak won’t fix, and he’s very easy to breathe in. Vision, for a head with only tear duct sight, is VERY good for me! There’s a small blind spot in the middle and sight to the sides is a bit limited, but It’s way better than I ever expected.
Appearance Satisfaction
Please describe how satisfied you are with how your costume piece looks from the outside.
All materials used for the head are high quality and haven’t shown any wear yet. The markings on the front of his face aren’t completely symmetrical, but they’re very small pieces of fur that are hard to work with, so that’s absolutely understandable, and no one would notice it without focusing on it. The eyes are absolutely gorgeous, and follow very well.
Special Attachments and Features
Please describe how satisfied you are with any extra features your head has.
Moving jaw: The bottom jaw is hinged and moves, though not very much. It opens about an inch and is a bit hard to move when wearing the head, but it works.
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?
I can definitely tell the maker had experience with patterning and knew how to keep every piece lined up well with the others. The work is very clean.
How easy was it to initially contact the maker for a quote?
Very easy and great to work with. Most of my ontact with them went through IG.
How satisfied are you with the response time from the maker?
How long did it take the maker to get back to you?
They do their best to respond as soon as they can.
How satisfied are you with the professionalism and customer service and of the maker?
They are professional, but friendly as well and easy to communicate with. They know how to talk with you in a way that isn’t that awkward stiff business work feeling, but more comfortable and approachable.
How satisfied are you with how long your project took to complete?
About as long as a maker would usually take to complete a head/what was expected. Shipped out in a timely manner.
Are you happy with the product you received?
I am overall very happy with everything.
Describe your overall experience with this maker.
If I were to ever buy another suit, Kyanite would definitely be on the top of my list for makers. They just need to up their prices a tad, this quality deserves better pay.
