....you know, you'd think with how much they're willing to shell out for furry shit, they'd get better quality stuff? Also who the fuck uses animal shampoo? Except main and tail, shits legit and meant for horses which have a similar thickness and testure to human hair.

I like costuming, some costumes involve animal parts. Not a furry, but am no better because it's literally LARP and I'm a fucking nerd. Sue me. Anyway, the ears on that costume are atrocious, there's an actual science to decent, semi realistic costuming regarding animal stuff. First off, the ears are way too off center from each other. At first I thought it was just angling of the picture but no, they literally attached them wrong. The base is too wide which limits how tall you can make them. The wide angled bottom leads to the cartoonish triangles. Some animals have pointed, sharp looking ears, but not blade sharp. There should always be a slight rounting to the tips. The biggest sin to me that even regular ass LARPers do= THEY DON'T FUCKING ACCOUNT FOR HUMAN ANATOMY! How fucking hard is it to just slightly place them a bit lower, closer to the side of the head? An animorph is an in between of human and animal, you don't COPY PASTE AN ANIMAL HEAD ON OMFG.
Even aside from that, the ears are so large that they don't really look seperate, it's very shottily done. They also don't take care of them, any costume part with long fur needs to actually be brushed, but they went with something with a likely cardboard base structure and hot glued faux fur made of shitty shreaded plastic and polyester instead of a mixture of cotton and wool. The flat color is also awful, any costumer worth their salt will thread them with different colors. A set I have that are silver thread some light blues, greys, whites and a few stray black hairs. The inside also shouldn't be the same color as the outside, or the same length. Even disregarding the realism aspect, it's fucking lazy and makes it easy to ruin the ears from being matted or getting caught in shit/difficult to clean. Most costume pieces need to be either hand washed or dry cleaned and are created with this in mind.
