Very much a fan so far. It’s heavy and has a very fun soft squish to it. I ordered purple. The hood has a handsome shape to it. Very affirming. I like the taller ears, I find them generally a little better proportioned for a slightly less cartoon look. The gloss is a lot duller than shown, but is more even and less runny. So I consider it mostly and even tradeoff. I did not order the extra careful assembly. The seam is noticeable to the eye but not unpleasant. The seamless look would have been neat but I almost don’t care. I was advised the neck might be tight, as I am very large and my neck measures 18.5″. The bottom of the hood tends to roll up on its own, but the problem is handily solved by wearing a collar outside the hood, which I think complements the appearance nicely. I am pleasantly surprised by the diameter of the mouth opening but find myself wishing the tube was maybe 3/4″ longer, because I sorta have to work to keep it in my mouth a little bit. I would have loved for that to feel a little bit more forced and invasive.
Hood was ordered on a Friday night. Arrived the following Thursday. I was very impressed. The packaging was sturdy and protected the mask well during transit and I plan to use the handsome cardstock box to protect the hood from my other toys in storage, once the strong smell of the coating dissipates. I’m excited to hopefully get a chance to play with it with friends soon.
