I have one, which I made myself (cheaper than buying from a maker, if you have the crafting skills to make it look decent - it actually took me about two years to make because I wanted to do a good job with it). But I don’t get to use it all that often, as my only option locally is the fantasy/sci-fi/comic convention in August - and the last couple of summers have been way too hot for me to be fursuiting in the sunshine! I enjoy it when the weather’s cool enough though, because there’s no other furries that go to that convention, so I really stand out - which is great for interactions with both other cosplayers and the general public. That’s the only reason I fursuit really. It’s fun being a big fluffy tiger booping Sith lords and pretending to be killed by a Dalek.

There’s meetups about 100 miles away that I used to go to, but the whole group is just far too dramatic for me. I do not have the energy for that much compulsive backstabbing! Which is a shame, because it would be nicer to get to use my fursuit more often. There is something special about fursuiting in a group.

@l_b_i I consider myself to be much more the fursuiter than a generic “furry”, and fursuits to be the tool to transform me into my spirit animals

Some suits are personal character suits, some are play suits

But in the recent years i am increasingly developing technically new ideas and try to get suits done that allow me to aquire capabilities other than plain human, and to explore physically different parts of the world and experiences that suiters have never explored before

I want one and would want to make one myself, but I lack the time and money to do so. I’m more of the type of person who wants to make one for myself purely for the experience of doing so, as I don’t interact with the local furry community at all.

I think they’re pretty cute, if well done. Partials as well.

I’ve wanted one but can’t justify the cost and don’t live anywhere close to any sort of convention where I’d wear one.

I got one and it’s cool and fun.

It’s a $3000 suit you can only wear to conventions that are halfway across the country. Which is to say I’d love to own one, but there’s no way I can justify buying one.

I may be biased but I think they’re pretty awesome. I can’t wait for what future designs will look like.

They’re cute, but I can’t see myself wearing one.

I think they’re cute if made well, I’d maybe try on a partial one (the hands especially, so cuuuuute), but wouldn’t buy one.
