What type of premades would you like?
So I am trying to Improve in the arts of fursuit making, digital arts and whatever else can be related to our fandom. I really want to improve more in my works and would love to practice with premades and sell it.
So Question is, What premades would you be interested in and how much would you be willing to pay for the item?
Also would anyone be interested in fursuit props, eg a giant Pizza, candy... so on.
Greetings all

Re: What type of premades would you like?
I think premade footpaws, handpaws, ears & tails would sell. Given South Africa's hot climate, not everyone might want to walk around in a full head mask.
As for prices, I think I saw some footpaws on twitter from a really well-known maker go for $125. Maybe use that as a guideline?

Fursuit making supplies
i.e
-Jaw sets
-Eyes
-Claws
-molded bases
-Faux fur(Super expensive to import thought)
Take a look at fursuit supplies, I think it's what we need here more than an official maker tbh. Commissioning a fullsuit is too expensive

Re: What type of premades would you like?
Virtually everything mentioned can be considered in a costume or makeup category, except for the fake fur. That will count under clothing, and sadly clothing has a 40-45% import duty. Strictly speaking, so do fursuits, making them very expensive to import. I believe that's why it's so hard to get decent fur in SA. Also, the sellers of fur usually want you to buy in bulk, which is OK for a maker making several suits.
I think a reliable supplier of fur would be a real win in SA.

Re: What type of premades would you like?
I do share a container with a fabric store here in benoni where I order fur from... Costs allot cheapers I barely pay for shipping due to the fabric store saying I don't need to worry about that. I talked to the lady and might start selling fur here in a bigger scale. but I first want to find a bigger variety of fur to order in bulk, will keep everyone updated on that to a later point.
Tho I can make bases, mold and make the sets, so I will look into that, maybe make DIY fursuit making sets for people to make their own!

If you can import lime green fur I'd happily take 3 meters already
I've been thinking a lot of making suit making kits instead of doing commissions

Re: What type of premades would you like?
I think this is most of all what we need in SA right now is fur, if you can start a shop selling fur that would be extremely helpful in boosting the amount of people attempting to make fursuits in SA. The biggest limiting factor right now is fur and of decent quality.Carrousel_Studios wrote:I will find out about starting to sell fur here, will keep you guys updated!

I'd be your no1 customer then.

Re: What type of premades would you like?
I would actually kill for a pair of cream handpaws right now. So let me know if/when you start up your business & what your approximate prices will be once you've done your research.
PS Paw slippers... god yes. Winter is coming!
