Yeesh! I was considering them a few years back 😨 thanks for this major heads up

Wait who is the maker... that's terrifying and I'm so sorry that happened to you.😢 Edit: Sorry I'm new to the hobby looks like it's "FTW".

Semi-newbie maker here and wow. That is ridiculous. The suit is plenty cute, but the feetpaw size, the arm sleeves being unwearable, and let alone the artist's issues- this is way too ridiculous. If you wanted, I could fix some stuff up for free? Make some parts of it actually wearable for you? I can't pay the shipping of it right this second, but if you want to consider it, I'm more than happy to chat somewhere? I'm US based and my partner is Australian so we know the curses of international shipping haha I'm not so ridiculously new that I've never done this before, ofc! I'm just not a commission-based maker so I've only made a few suits (no fullbodies yet, but I have made full partials, completed other suits, and am currently making a ¾ digi suit for myself) and doing something like that would help me learn more and get out there a little better too ♡

I don't have a FTW suit, but I have a suit from a maker on instagram, and when I tell you it was one of the most low quality suits ive ever seen, his hair had bald spots, fur wasnt glued down around the face and ears, some markings were completely missing, the horns were made from fur and 3d printed scrap, the nose was painted horribly, and I cant breathe or see out of him, he took 5 years to come and it was the most unpleasant experience ever, especially how I payed for a fur partial and only ended up getting a head and paws, shit is awful

They are certainly a maker to avoid like the plague. Hope you get the full suit that you wanted from a better maker.

This is so sad... Making something that should be happy turn into something stressful

im so sorry for you thats actually so sucky i would be so mad

Does FTW stand for Fuck The Work? 'Cause they didn't put any in on this suit, damn.

This video gave me flashbacks of my orders from Kitten's Playpen. Mind you they didn't make full fursuits, just ears and tails. Their "ready-to-ship" stock would take _months_ to ship - and it wasn't getting stuck in transit, but not even leaving the shop for months. And the two times I ordered bespoke ears, the first took over a year and they weren't as cleanly made as the examples on the website, and the second never got to me. I was reassured over and over for more than two years that the single pair of ears I'd ordered would be finished "in a few months." And then the company went under. x.x At least in my case, it wasn't a huge monetary loss. I can't imagine dropping money for a fursuit, waiting over six years, and then getting such shoddy results!

ugh this is horrible.. Im so sorry this happened

I'm in the same boat, commissioned a suit in 2018-2019 and still waiting. I guess this is kind of the risk you're taking with fursuits. Unfortunate it turned out like this :0<

i’m so sorry you had to deal with all this- the whole situation sounds agonizing. i probably would’ve ripped all my hair out from stress by year three and yet here u are nearly seven years later with a full head of hair. i hope you can get some form of compensation for the time and money lost </3

My friends has one I've heard all the horror stories what an aweful company

FTW is from Quebec region so I presume they are cheap cause I live here to let you know, be aware and take legal actions if anything goes wrong, they will eventually change their mind about priorities and do you commission of legally refund as it should.

i couldn't even tell it's a kemono suit until you said it 😭 i'm so sorry

I'm honestly really disappointed in artists and suit makers who take SO LONG to make their commissions, especially when they're being paid so much. The suit is fine but it took TOO LONG!! :((

So strange, i thought people sent measurements or even a pair of shoes to make sure the parts fit.

HOW DOES IT TAKE 6 YEARS TO MAKE A FURSUIT?? I STARTED MINE TODAY AND I'M NRARLY FINISHED ON THE SAME DAY STARTED...

You paid for a full digi and only got a partial? Jfc 😔

I thought that said 6year old in a fursuit....

My suit is from FTW. It's a partial but I paid something around 3.5k for it in 2015-16 because I prepaid for a full suit of a different character. I was still in the queue when I decided to change to the character I have now. They literally forced me to buy the feet with the partial even though I just needed head, tail, and arms. And just like you experienced, the feet were way too big! Sadly I tossed them truly a waste since I couldn't reuse the materials. They also had me pay for additional materials because I changed the character. They never told me about a deadline to change the order before to avoid this. So I basically paid for TWO (also started as a full digigrade then switched to partial) suits from them but only got one!! I've never recommended them and their style is very similar to other suit makers. When I got her, I also had to make several alterations to the way the arms are worn, the hair, and the eyes which they wouldn't customize for me at the time. It's been 3 years since I've worn the costume and I'm terrified it may have mould now since it's been in storage. I plan on taking her out and trying to clean her up because of how much money it cost, but it may be a lost cause. *But yeah TLDR; don't order from FTW order from someone with a similar style! I commissioned them when they were still kinda new (2015) so it's sad to see they never improved, and even got worse.

Still waiting for my suit from a different maker, year 3 but seeing a 2018 commission on their queue that wasnt made available to me until after i ordered 😬

they have pets at home, don't know if only dogs or cats but if allegric no a good maker

just as information the fragil sticker don't do shit. even the post office here won't give any because it won't change how the parcel is treated

Your character design is super cute they really did you dirty with the quality. I hope you can find a more reputable maker to fix her up!

It’s a very cute head, but for seven years and what you requested? Hell no

The feet paws are cute, but they look so heavy!

That’s abysmal omg:(

liked the video before it even started i know its gonna be spicy

No one should be waiting 6-7 years for a Fursuit of this quality.

Man 2 years I wouldve be ok, but 6-7 years?!!! Wtfff

these are the things id expect from a first time maker, maybe, but for all the time you waited and all the product issues, you deserve a refund

This is terrible, never heard any bad reviews from FTW before so I'll definitely look to stay clear now 😨 Did you ever get your tail to this day?

(im at the beginning of the vid) they just put the parts directly into the box??? no bags to protect em??? tf----

Six YEARS and not allowing a refund is unreal. Even though you got your suit i think this maker is not much better than a scammer. 😞😥 Tbh the not offering a refund after 5+ years with almost no progress photos...might as well be a scammer :'/ especially since it doesn't fit. And anyone in the comments saying you can tailor it....its not your job to fix the entire suit to fit you. They had six years they could have mad a suit that fits. That was their job. Im heartbroken for you that none of it fits bc it is pretty cute! I make fursuits so i know they take a long time but this is just completely unacceptable. Not a single excuse.

Its honestly so crazy that some of these bigger name makers in the fandom end up doing this, but then I have seen smaller makers that a lot of ppl havent heard of, and those ppl have the best customer service ever. I am so sorry you had to go through this. This is one major reason I have decided to learn how to make my own suits

Oh lol I’m a customer of hers from way back. At the time I commissioned two suits, and she mixed up the sizing on the bodysuits. But more heinous was that she made the head i had with the incorrect type of foam. I babied it but one day when preparing to clean it found that the inner foam was dissolving entirely and breaking down. When I asked her what could be done she decided instead to go into her fursuit channel and do “preemptive damage control” on how I must’ve done a poor job caring for my suit. In private though oh no- she knew what was wrong- and would fix it for a price. At that point the writing was in the wall with her increasingly wild queues and lowering quality so I took it to someone else to assess I trusted. We hoped to be able to remove some of the foam and repair it the best we could but sadly it was too far worn down- some of the foam was almost a gel from breakdown by the standard alcohol sprays at the time. RIP lil jackalope suit, lasted a good 2.5 years.

I ordered my suit from these guys way back! It took them so many years i ended up canceling my suit because I had to move and such. They're not transparent!!

The fact that it was just lose in the box too is really bad

The fact you had to wait for so many years for a suit. I've never heard about anyone having to wait that long for a suit

some of these 'flaws' are pretty standard in fursuits, but the quality definitely isn't the best; and how they treated you was terrible

Это просто превосходно ✨✨

2019 was 5 years ago? wtf..

For how long you had to wait, seeing how much they didn't even listen to you about for very important design elements, the rush job quality despite the almost 7 YEARS they had to work on it, not even sending you the full order, not making it to fit you whatsoever, them trying to gaslight you into thinking you chose all the messed up parts of the suit design... You need to try to get most, if not ALL of your money back. Especially since they didn't only do this with your order. The more people that try to get their money back, the less people they can screw over with the horrible quality they're forcing people to accept. I am so sorry that they did your sona so dirty :'( you deserve so much better.

If the feet were ok except for the size inside, you could maybe glue/sew some comfy shoes like slippers inside if you want to use the feet after this? The way they handled it was abysmal though

im so fucking glad you got your suit in the end at least!! even if it wasnt fully complete. i hope all the other customers receive their orders or money back cause holy shit what a scammer.

I was a furry since 2018 omg

Can I ask what their pricing is looking like these days? I couldn't find any mention of it on facebook and they dont even seem to have an official website.

I'm not an expert in fursuiting by no means but if I had to wait that long to get a fursuit of my sona that looked like THAT I'd be so angry omg I'm so sorry you had to go under all that anxiety, I could only imagine how stressful all of that could've been

This is disgusting. 6 years and probably thousands of dollars to not even get the suit the way you commissioned it, and it's in terrible condition. Asymmetrical brows, dirty nose, hot glue falling apart, poorly painted eyes with a hair in it... and so much more. You didn't get what you paid for. Our community needs to stop funding these scam artists.
