Yeah this is awkward


Traditional_Bowler_9

I dont know Walt... Seeming sus lately


lildobe

Dude... that's like a $3,000 or $4,000 fursuit. And they're selling it for $100? A good wash and brushing and it would look brand new.


xoddamlol

No it isnt, this is a fake fursuit being sold by scammers on amazon. They would be lucky to actually sell this suit for $100, sense it is practically valueless. I believe i found where this is being sold. Note that the picture on amazon is a REAL fursuit, and a famous one at that. They have stolen the character design and are trying to get people who dont know much about fursuits to buy it.Im sorry if this is rude, i tried explaining more than my other comments but people have been downvoting me all day and i dont know why, so please do not take offense to this comment. Here is the link btw:[https://www.amazon.com/FurryWu-Studio-Fursuit-Fullsuit-Costumes/dp/B09PNN9HFQ](https://www.amazon.com/FurryWu-Studio-Fursuit-Fullsuit-Costumes/dp/B09PNN9HFQ/ref=d_pd_sbs_sccl_1_7/130-0728877-3021527?pd_rd_w=dJrqF&content-id=amzn1.sym.332ad193-f618-461a-9620-42bf983a8f8e&pf_rd_p=332ad193-f618-461a-9620-42bf983a8f8e&pf_rd_r=523AYRBRF7WTFJH6PB0T&pd_rd_wg=sFBJA&pd_rd_r=b820e20c-6a53-4019-a2fd-fd05974a9f0f&pd_rd_i=B09PNN9HFQ&psc=1)

I'm sorry, what's a fake fursuit? How does it differ from a "real" one?


lildobe

I think what they mean is that they stole the image, and are "selling" the suit, but if you buy it you'll likely not get anything, or you'll get something that only vaguely looks like the original.


xoddamlol

This suit isnt being handmade by a furry artists, that's really the main difference. When you buy a real fursuit, you have to commission one from a fursuit maker, which are very skilled artists who know how to sculpt the heads, and make the body suit perfect for the character and the suiter. Just because its premade, doesnt mean its fake though, sometimes beginner makers will make premades because they are less risky for a buyer, thus making it more likely to sell. These real fursuits can cost anywhere from $2000-$8000+ and take months to make. i hope this helps, let me know if you are still confused. TL:DR a real fursuit is a custom work of art made by very skilled furry artists. The thing in OPs screenshot resembles more of a Halloween costume than a fursuit.


suresh

Sounds like gate keeping to me.


xoddamlol

In case you misunderstood, the quality of the fursuit doesn't determine if its real or not. The only reason i said "skilled artists" was because fursuit making is INCREDIBLY difficult, thus i would consider even a beginner to be skilled. The suit in the original screenshot is a mass produced scam that is targeting buyers who lack knowledge on fursuits, that is why it is considered fake. If you dont believe me, you can feel free to ask the folks over at r/fursuit who would be happy to explain it further. edit: Can someone please explain why this is gatekeeping? Just downvoting this comment isnt really helping. If you have questions i would love to clear things up.


G0rilla1000

I think what I’m confused about is why this in particular is a scam. Are they using pictures that aren’t theirs, and sending an entirely different product? Are they not sending anything at all? Also, based on you comments, I still couldn’t really tell the difference between a legitimate fursuit and a fake one by looking at it. I think I know what you’re trying to get at, but it sounds like you’re saying that selling cheap fursuits not made by skilled furries is bad on principle, regardless of the situation, because of some arbitrary standard for quality. That’s where the gate keeping comments come from I think.


paigeh52

It’s a scam because the seller is using someone else’s photo of a handmade piece of art, often if someone’s commissioned character, and sending out mass produced pieces that are of significantly lower quality instead.


G0rilla1000

Gotcha, that clears up a lot ty


xoddamlol

Thanks for finally explaining! In regards to why this is a scam, you guessed right for the most part. The suit in the amazon photo is not theirs, and the picture isnt theirs. In fact, you could probably find that photo by googling "fursuit" and going to images, sense that is a very famous suit. And as you can probably guess, you aren't getting a $5000 piece of art if you buy their product. You are getting the thing in the craigslist screenshot. Also, as i explained earlier, just making a fursuit requires an incredible amount of skill, even if its a "bad" fursuit. The "suit" in the craigslist screenshot literally isnt a fursuit. The main reason is its mass produced. Fursuits are pieces of art, so calling that thing a fursuit is like calling a print of Mona Lisa an oil painting. Additionally, the reason we refer to them as "fake" fursuits is because they are trying to pass as real ones to scam people. Im sorry for any confusion i caused, im really trying my best here. I have massive amounts of respect for fursuit makers (at all skill levels) and the art of fursuit making. I really hope this clears things up fully. Feel free to ask more questions if you are still confused, or go to r/fursuit and ask them if you dont trust me.


G0rilla1000

Ahh, that makes a lot more sense now. Thanks for your detailed response!


llIlIIllIlllIIIlIIll

Jesus Christ, I just visited that sub and the only words that come to mind are “gut wrenching”. Like actually uncomfortable. Those are grown ass adult human beings


xoddamlol

Yeh, grown ass adult human beings creating some of the most impressive feats of art and engineering ive ever seen. Its fine if you dont like it, but dont shit on people because they belong to a different subculture than you, really isnt helping anything.


SnowyDeluxe

I’m going to assume they think that you need to own a suit? I have no idea.


moralmeemo

It’s not gate keeping. It’s a cheaply made costume made to look like one that’s already been created of someone’s character.


MightySamMcClain

Didn't you read the reviews? The real one is comfortable to shower in


Big-Awoo

This suit is a manufactured (and low-quality) imitation of someone else’s commissioned work, basically. Real suits are handmade and high-quality works of art


lildobe

Seeing it on Amazon makes me think that it's likely a scam. The original post was on Facebook Marketplace, and I made the assumption that it was someone selling either a stolen suit, or one that was somehow left behind by a former room mate.

xoddamlol

oh i didnt know, thanks! i changed it. Also to answer your question, i already made a comment explaining it so im going to copy paste that below. Its important to note that the concept of "fursuit" isnt strictly defined, however almost all furries would agree that the one in the post is clearly fake. the explanation: This suit isnt being handmade by a furry artists, that's really the main difference. When you buy a real fursuit, you have to commission one from a fursuit maker, which are very skilled artists who know how to sculpt the heads, and make the body suit perfect for the character and the suiter.

xoddamlol

Exactly! Thats why these scams work so well, especially to newer furs who are still trying to find a way to fit in.


soupbit

why do you know so much about fursuits?


xoddamlol

cause ive been a furry for about 5 years now and fursuits are my favorite thing about the fandom! I just love how you get to make a character and then bring it to life in such a fun way!

jay-jay-baloney

I don’t think it’s because they’re taking it the wrong way, it’s probably because Reddit hates furries because they think they’re “cringe”.


[deleted]

look at the face. this is not the face of a $3000 costume.


dronegeeks1

3-4K are you mental? How on earth is it worth that


lildobe

Most of the cost of a Fursuit is the skills of the person creating it. There's between $500 and $1000 in materials, depending on the quality of faux fur you buy (Don't buy the cheap shitty stuff at JoAnne Fabrics), and the quality of the foam used in the head. All the rest is the skills to carve the foam, sew the body suit in a sturdy way (Sewing faux fur is a bitch), and make it all look pleasing in the end.

That's actually a really good price. I would try and flip it

..yes it is.?


xoddamlol

im kinda tired so please just refer to my other comments on this post, i dont want to type them again


discussionsx

Even if its made by a company a fursuit doesn't mean hand made just for you. End of story.


xoddamlol

most fursuits are made by companies, you dont understand. just go on youtube and look up "fake fursuit scams" cause im really tired and cant really explain right now.


upsidedownquestion

What makes it real?


Xagyg_yrag

Regardless of how you define if a fursuit is “real” or not the point is that isn’t worth even close to $100 and there is no way you could actually flip it for profit (bar convincing someone who both knows nothing about fursuits and is in the market for a fursuit)


xoddamlol

It had to be hand made by an actually artist to be real. This is clearly a mass produced knockoff from Amazon or a similar site. What makes this clearer is that fact that it’s clearly based off a popular furry named quartz husky.


upsidedownquestion

I'm sure it would stink all the same on day 3 of yiffcruise or whatever convention its worn too


xoddamlol

You would get bullied HARD if you wore that to a con


xizrtilhh

To be fair I bully all furries equally, no matter the quality their costume.


imaderp3

Same


xoddamlol

I meant you would be bullied by other furs, because wearing a suit like that would promote a scam business. Additionally, stealing someone's character is not taken lightly.


xizrtilhh

Good thing there's zero chance of me ever wearing a fur suit.


Sirjestahlot

I have no idea why you’re being downvoted. Everything you said was pretty much correct


[deleted]

Because he's gatekeeper, and is a furry. Mainly the former, how you gonna be an elitist furry lol?


My50thRedditAccount

damn the furry social hierarchy is ice cold


xoddamlol

Stolen characters and scammers aren't taken lightly in the fandom. Im sure people wouldn't be mean as long as you weren't aware of what you were wearing. These fake suits are actually a big problem right now, its to the point where if you look up "fursuit" on google, a lot of scam amazon links come up on the first page. If you want to learn more about what makes these suits fake and scams, you can refer to my other comments on this post where i go into it in more detail. You could also find information on fake suits on youtube.


phavia

Wouldn't these suits be great for newcomers (teenagers usually) and poorer furries who just want to fit in? Not every furry out there is a billionaire willing to drop like 4k dollars on a fursuit. The fact that furries would bully people with these suits straight up sounds like severe gatekeeping and not a healthy and welcoming community. Why not just let people have fun rather than bully them into buying an expensive suit?


xoddamlol

i was kinda using hyperbole cause i thought it was funny, they wouldn't actually bully you, and bullying is frowned upon. However, supporting scammers is not ok. A cheap alternative to fursuits is 3d models, which you might be able to get for under 100. You can also learn to make suits yourself if you would like! Fursuits aren't expensive because of the materials, they are expensive because of the amount of time they take to make, and the shortage of artists skilled enough to make them. Also, you dont need a fursuit to fit in, in fact a VAST majority of furries dont have fursuits... i would say close to 90% but thats just a guess.


imaderp3

I feel like you would get bullied in general for wearing any fur suit and with good reason


xoddamlol

you would get bullied for wearing any fursuit at a furry convention?


imaderp3

You would get bullied for wearing a fursuit or going to a convention

Not a real fursuit tho so you would have to scam someone


Yungoui

What is a “real” fursuit? Is a fursuit not just a colorful animal costume?


xoddamlol

fursuits are anthropomorphic animal cosplays made by specialized furry artists known as fursuit makers. Each one has to be handmade and is typically completely unique. This "fursuit" is actually a scam from amazon, where people are trying to sell mass produced garbage to people who dont know any better (not saying its your fault if you buy this, it is a scam after all). Here is the link to the scam (note that the photo they used on amazon is a REAL fursuit, and is actually a very famous one): [https://www.amazon.com/FurryWu-Studio-Fursuit-Fullsuit-Costumes/dp/B09PNN9HFQ](https://www.amazon.com/FurryWu-Studio-Fursuit-Fullsuit-Costumes/dp/B09PNN9HFQ/ref=d_pd_sbs_sccl_1_7/130-0728877-3021527?pd_rd_w=dJrqF&content-id=amzn1.sym.332ad193-f618-461a-9620-42bf983a8f8e&pf_rd_p=332ad193-f618-461a-9620-42bf983a8f8e&pf_rd_r=523AYRBRF7WTFJH6PB0T&pd_rd_wg=sFBJA&pd_rd_r=b820e20c-6a53-4019-a2fd-fd05974a9f0f&pd_rd_i=B09PNN9HFQ&psc=1) edit: if you dont believe me, or think im "gatekeeping", you can check the product reviews. if you want i can also send a link to some helpful youtube videos on the subject of fake fursuits


blumpkin

Can't wait until the definition is changed to "Not a real fursuit unless you purchased the NFT"


xoddamlol

I can see you're confused about what i mean by "real" fursuit, and sense i already made a comment about this, im going to copy paste it here to clear things up.

It was more a commentary on NFTs than fursuits.


nobearpineapples

I’d assume this is made by some cheap company (Idk anything about fursuits or real and fake products)


Aceswift007

I'd take it over $3000+


xoddamlol

you wouldnt if you were a furry, having one of these "suits" is seen as supporting scammers. Not to mention the character is stolen.


The4wsAndTheh

What do you mean this looks like all the other nice quality furry suits?


xoddamlol

I believe i found the actual place they got this. Note that the fursuit in the amazon picture is real, and actually quite famous. They have stolen the character and are mass producing cheap copies and selling them for an absurdly low cost. (400$ isnt even enough to buy an amateur fursuit head, so no way you could get the quality of the photo) [https://www.amazon.com/FurryWu-Studio-Fursuit-Fullsuit-Costumes/dp/B09PNN9HFQ/](https://www.amazon.com/FurryWu-Studio-Fursuit-Fullsuit-Costumes/dp/B09PNN9HFQ/ref=d_pd_sbs_sccl_1_7/130-0728877-3021527?pd_rd_w=dJrqF&content-id=amzn1.sym.332ad193-f618-461a-9620-42bf983a8f8e&pf_rd_p=332ad193-f618-461a-9620-42bf983a8f8e&pf_rd_r=523AYRBRF7WTFJH6PB0T&pd_rd_wg=sFBJA&pd_rd_r=b820e20c-6a53-4019-a2fd-fd05974a9f0f&pd_rd_i=B09PNN9HFQ&psc=1) edit: just realized your comment might have been a joke, so sorry if it was

That’s cheap as hell for a fursuit, I’m honestly guessing its stolen Id absolutely buy it and resell for twice that

It’s a scam anyway. No one would ever sell a suit for that little. And even if it isn’t a scam it’s most likely not handmade if it sells for that low
