PG My Thoughts on Mr Fox head
You may have seen some of these heads already floating around in the furry fandom. At first, I thought this was a fursuit head when I was with my family in T.K Maxx in Leeds. Then watching a furry I know do a video about it and finding out it is not a fursuit head. Non the less it still makes a good present.
So first off this is not a fursuit head. It is a movable jaw Halloween mask stroke Christmas present.
Just go onto YouTube and furries will tell you it is not a fursuit head and if they do they ether do not know that it is or (I can not beleave I am saying this) They are beginners or they are young furries.
This is not a bad thing entirely. So you have a cheap mask for the low low price of £38.99 on eBay here is the link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/292096646732?chn=ps&dispItem=1&adgroupid=49150986128&rlsatarget=pla-327951015285&abcId=1129006&adtype=pla&merchantid=7405984&poi=&googleloc=9046315&device=c&campaignid=861364963&crdt=0
Or you can just wait until it comes nearer to Christmas then T.K Max or Target in America.
They are a few downsides to these heads though. For example, they all look the same. That is not an insult they all look alike. So if the head gets stolen or lost or conswaggled chances are nobody will be able to find it even with video or photographic footage.
Hay that is my head give it back. These heads are easy targets for someone to con you out of.
You all know my story. A person is at a furmeet says he does airbrush but he needs money to buy the tools. I ask him how much he says £30 I give him £30. By this stage, I have his furry name I gave him my address, postcode, email which is No WI2 at none of your beeswax road. My email was furriesandbronies18@IamnottellingyoubecauseIdonotwanttobespamed.com
I gave him £30 we established that he said he would get it done after Confuzzeled so he now has a free head.
£30 in his pocket to do whatever he wants. He might have bought some white fur to make paws and soled the head as a partial suit. Which I am sure a few people have done in the fandom. All the hard work has been done for you from China. All you have to do is make the paws lie and charge a little extra.
The other down side is some people partend like they have made this fursuit head. No, you have not made the head quit lying to the fandom. It would have been cool if you were able to make the head but you did not unless you was one of the workers in China.
If you get one of these heads for Christmas or a Birthday present or for Halloween or you outright buy the thing do not say you have made your very own fursuit head. Making your own fursuit head takes time, planning, patience, (crying,) money, finding out how you are going to do the head and finding the right glue that suits you.
(Usually, the fandom is split between hot glue gun glueing method and solvent-free glueing method)
Like I have pointed out before they are not fursuits. Fursuits are what you make or commission someone to make or at the very least someone makes it for you and even then people have debates on what is a fursuit and what is not a fursuit. For example, Angello looks more like a fox costume rather than a fursuit.
You may also find the head sold as a partial. All the seller needs if he/she/they way very lazy is a head, paw hands that they swiggled off someone else and a costume accessory tail and they have their own partial suit.
Honestly, you do not have to look far to find one of these tails they sell them in costume shops.
Are they any good things about this head. Oh yes, they are I just thought I would tell you about the bad things before telling you the good things. Fursuits are expensive and many people do not have the time, money or knowledge on making a fursuit and I know some of you are thinking ‘well if you can not afford a fursuit you should not get a fursuit’
I say to those people that is a bit harsh coming from a fandom that is “supposed to be accepting of others.” Like a lot of furries have said this gives you experience on what it is like to be in a fursuit head before you get or make your own fursuit head.
Furries can also airbrush or if they are any students that ether knows of any art students or can do airbrushing themselves at college then it is a really good project to get into. Or chat with other furries and build up a mutual relationship with them then ask if they can airbrush. Even if they do not know you have still built up a mutual relationship with them. They might even recommend someone they know for you.
Do not trust that furry that you do not even know even if you get their name.
The movable jaw fox costume mask. Mr Fox is a good for inspiration on how to make your own movable jaw fursuit head. Likewise, you will not have any plastic with bolts lying around but you can use hair ties elastic to get a similar effect.
While simply enough it also shows you what the head would look like if you decided to go for a more realistic look. But since you might be a beginner you best just look inside the fursuit head and find out what you like and what you want to incorporate into it and what you do not want to incorporate on it.
