The quality is DRASTICALLY higher than going with the cheapo stuff on Amazon. The Umbreon kigu I got on Amazon was awful and started falling apart so quickly whereas the one I got off Etsy is so much better, softer, higher-quality, and the ears and tail are definitely resemble an Umbreon's way better than the other one did (seriously, why were they so short and rounded?). Not to mention the Etsy variants fit so much better and some people will allow you to get them customized for any Pokemon you want! That's where it gets addicting. Because I'm like "hmm, what other Pokemon would make a great kigu and would be great fun to wear!?" I have five now (Emolga, Umbreon, Flareon, Mega Charizard X, and Ninetales) and I can think of at least a dozen others that sound like they'd be fun. Like I said, I need to cool it.
The only sad part is the ones on Etsy are not cheap, but they're better quality and you're supporting individual artists that really put a lot of great quality work into these. If you're ever interested, I know the best peeps to order from.
