What tail makers aside from fin fun, mertailor, etc are still active

[Trade Winds]

What cheapo fabric tail makers out there are active aside from Fin Fun, Mertailor, Magictail, and Suntail. Delfina hasn't updated their site since 2017 from what I see and 2tails I'm not sure how active they are either. I want to expand my collection and these are all the ones I can think of in the ~$100 range.​ I am _not_ looking for custom stuff or etsy sellers.

I dunno. I wish I could give you advice - I'm not to familiar with the tail-swimming stuff. I'm just a bit too self conscious.

Magictail and Mermaid Kat are still there for example. Or how should I understand that question?

El cheapo ebay ones, Planet Mermaids Uk, Mermaid tails Uk.

Is Miami Beach Mermaids still around? I remember they had a nice variety of tails.

I'm just curious...Why do you not want to buy a tail off of Etsy?

probably because a lot of etsy people are amateurs, who may not necessarily know the proper materials to use for a tail or a fin. i'm just guessing though

The vast majority of them still use the foil/holo tails, which rub off easy. Similar to the tails that Fin Fun first made several years ago. For the price a lot of people ask, it just isn't worth it when I could buy a Fin Fun or something else for the same price.

I've opened the pages for all the makers listed in the resources here that made fabric and neoprene and hybrid tails and the only ones I've found still active don't actually make those anymore. Mertailor (which I'm thinking is my best option) and FinFolk (ALL of their fabric tails are sold out >.< ) and FinFun appear to be about all thats left

Yeah the forum can really show its age at times. I don't think anyone necessarily is keeping any of that up to date. I'd be glad to assist with such things if I knew who to contact.

I had tried to contact the admin and have my company added to the maker list...I never heard anything back, and also see that yeah, that list doesnt seem to have been updated in years. Too bad too, because I think Mernetwork has more honest input than instagram, or just social media in general.
As far as Etsy goes..there are some really talented artists in Etsy (in all genres), and I continue to keep a shop open on Etsy. The reason? They take care of all my advertising, and sometimes its really nice to be able to disengage from 'pushing' products on social media, creating content, etc..and just work my magic, and people that are looking for what i have, find me. It makes me sad to hear that Etsy doesnt always garner a quality reputation, theres a lot of extremely talented makers in that marketplace. I mean, yeah, theres some crap too, but thats anywhere.
Having said all that, I dont make $100 tails, and dont know who to recommend either, lol. It would be nice if the tailmaker list was updated

Easiest way to grab the mod attention is to actually report your own post. I know it sounds a bit backwards but the Mernetwork mod will see it.
