NEO THAT IS AMAZING! XD It really is huge! Is it heavy?! You'll have to be careful carrying that around on your back if so! No wonder stuffing the tails took so long! :O Her dA is pretty amazing. The Lucario suit she made is crazy good!

That is awesome, Neo, I can't wait to see the finished costume!

It's crazy... but fun. I fully put together the harness and tried it on (without the other part of the suit) and it felt pretty solid. Not too heavy, but I haven't really tried walking around with it, yet. I should have built the harness sooner as what I realized from moving it around with the tails fully stuffed, the tails can get easily tangled up. Building the harness and running the PVC pipe through the top five tails keeps them locked in formation and you don't end up with a spaghetti mess of tails in a tangle. XD

I'm hoping this harness can hold up the weight for a long period of time because the straps are a bit small and it's a little concerning. If I end up having to break out duct tape, it's not too much consequence because the straps and harness aren't meant to be seen anyway, but I'm hoping it holds together.

It totally is amazing! I unfortunately did catch a tiny bit of a bust in one of the seams and had to play surgeon with a sewing needle and thread. Wasn't too bad and it's barely noticeable. At first I was like "NOOOOO" but a stitch in time saves nine. I'm no tailor but at least I got that to work out okay.

As for the weight of the tails, it's about 20 pounds for the whole thing. Not really heavy, just really BIG and all over the place. But yeah, it's really not that much heavier than a backpack with your books for school. It's really just the size of it that's more on the crazy side. XD

And yes, I saw she just uploaded that! It's pretty neat and it seems like she can make just about anything. The poor girl constantly seems busy, though. Still, it's inspiring to see what she does with all this stuff.

So yep, I've tried the tails alone and the rest of the Ninetales suit alone and so far, both halves seem to be working out. Maybe tonight I'll try the full thing on after I get home from the gym. And NOO, before you ask, I sure wouldn't work out at the gym with this on. XD
