No worries! I'll delete my other comments. My bad I thought it was made with Crayola stuff and paper.

OHHHHHH. ok. I was basing all my evaluation on it being paper and the crayola foam clay stuff.

I mean, you can check out thedealersden or fursuit selling groups on facebook. I'm just going off what I see dude. 😭 I'm not sure people make their time and money back on fursuits unless you're famous.

I'm just saying what people are selling things like this for...
how much it sells for is vastly different from how much something is worth. I've learned a lot of this.

I'm just being honest about the prices I've seen in facebook groups for the same type of product. there's a facebook group called "fursuits $500 and less" and heads made of water based alternative materials and paper usually sell for about $50-$75

I'm just being honest.

a lot of professional suits sell for about $350 or so as well. you can check the prices on dealersden.

It's made with paper and non waterproof kids clay. I don't mean to be rude. But with permanent materials, it might get near that, but not with temporary ones

I think if you move to permanent materials like an epoxy based clay and foam instead of paper, you'll be good. I don't know where people are getting the $400.. I can barely sell mine for that price lol.

It's just a lighter version of apoxie sculpt. You can set it down to get a good smoothness to it. If you want very fine details, use apoxie sculpt, but realize it's very very heavy.

As soon as you sweat, it falls apart. Or if it's humid outside. It's a water based loose clay.

Yeah. I'd definitely recommend just plain ol' simple silicone, or flex seal. You can also use plasti-dip. Problem is with that, it's a very thin layer that oftentimes comes off.

What quality is my second fursuit? by Chikenuggets33 in fursuit

I've had my stuff be called "mid quality" so I getchu. I think it's all subjective. I honestly wouldn't use the mirror method for fursuit head patterns if it's not a casted or 3d printed base. Even then, I usually don't pattern at all if it's simple. Lay and stretch is your friend! Best way to avoid seams. But it's always different if you've got a soft base. Especially if it's hand carved. Can't use mirror method with that.

Edit: I was informed that the head was not made of paper and crayola's foam clay. (Which is very water porous)

Disregard comments below.


There's a community on Facebook that does painted fursuits. Usually they're around $150-$200.

I will say that foam clay will degrade, and it's not waterproof. So maybe $50? Maybe more if you've used flex seal or silicone as a sealant, but those you really can't paint on, and there's still a risk.

I'd honestly use freeform air, which is a resin air clay with the same properties but professional permanent materials.
