I really like the movement of the fluke and the hip fins!
I'm hoping they post an actual video, similar to their YouTube one of the Individual Scale upgrade, where they go up close and personal with them and into more detail.
I'm curious to know what it sounds like when you clink the scales, since they're made of resin.
I'm totally eyeing the blue icy tail. ;^; I'm canadian so everything is more expensive and our dollar isnt doing so well. I may wait till reviews come in and hopefully be able to order one in the spring! tho a snow shoot near the water would be gorgeous!
I jumped in head first and got the magenta tail, but I echo what Coralia said. Also I wish that the green tail was darker or brighter for the most part because then it would have ben my top pick for sure! The tail i'm waiting on will be orange and blue so i wanted a different color scheme :)
I feel you. Curse you exchange rate!Quote:

thanks for posting the video haven't seen it before, i ordered that colour. still happy with that choice as i didn't want something too loud as i have anxiety i don't want to stick out like a sore thumb too much lol and teal is my fave all time colour most of my possessions are either blue/teal
the fins move gorgeously through the water. i like how the dorsal flops around and the hip fins move up and down with the body, the heel fins compliment that fluke so nicely too. the fluke moves just right too not too stiff not too floppy.
No kidding, lol. WHYYYYYYY MUST YOU DO THIS TO ME QUEBEC??!!!? But I mean, I can barely afford one anyway.. maybe I'll just ask for money for christmas.. :PQuote:

The fins are an extra $250 which is purchased separately. After the presale they'll be $300.Quote:

The teal is now entirely sold out. All the other colors have all sizes avaliable, currently. (As of 1:21am EST)
I'm really liking the way the tail moves in the water. I was worried it would be a bit rigid. I second the mer who mentioned a close up video of the tail like they did when they released the individual scales. That would be wonderful.
I'm about 90% sure I'll be snapping up one of these, come springtime. However, I'm also holding out on Mermaid Kariel's cheaper tails.
So many choices!

Talk about lucky! I was debating if I should get a teal or not, but I ultimately couldn't give up on my pink/purple color scheme :PQuote:

Now begins the anxious wait for them to start shipping out and arriving....
I am so excited. I am in the UK so the sizing is a little different to US sizes. I am a uk size 14-16 so i opted for size L. I have always had a big bum (over 40") so I am certain I've chosen the right size.
do you guys think i chose the right size ??

I wonder if they'll be selling the scales separate...
Highly doubtful, those scales are a big part of why these tails are so cheap.

As far as I can tell they won't, but they are including some scales with the tail in case a few fall off.Quote:

Hey mers I just read Finfolk's reply to Saren the Mermaid's question about monofin foot sizes on Finfolk's Instagram:
So I would fit the body of the XS perfectly for the Mythic tail, but my shoe size is around 9 - 10 which is the monofin size in the Small tail. I know it is better to have a monofin that is too big than too small. I wouldn't want my feet feeling squished.Quote:
Hi Saren! The foot pockets will go by size, starting with a 6-8 sized shoe in the XS, 8-10 in the Small, etc. there will be plenty of room for bigger (whaddya call 'em?) feet, as well as room for fin socks! :)
Before I got my monofin my Grandparents sent me some old regular swim fins that are a size 6 - 7. I would swim with them until my feet hurt from being squeezed so much - or until my feet cramped up. When I finally got my Finis Rapid, which is big enough for my feet, I was amazed at how much more pleasurable it was to swim with a fin that actually fits!
Oh well I knew I wouldn't get one of these tails right away so I have time to see what happens. I think they said they will offer a wider range of sizes eventually. Perhaps along with that they will offer larger foot size options for XS tails...
I need to get a M, based on the measurements but have a shoe size of about seven. Looks like I'll be making use of socks!Quote:

Oh yeah, CAD is the same as AUD compared to USD (and to eachother for that matter)....wooo -_- not
Posted this on the general Finfolk thread as well but figured it would go here too. Finfolk is having a Black Friday sale and will be releasing and unknown new color of their Mythic line. My guess is purple or orange!
I hope purple or orange is right! I'm gonna be upset if they release a red one since I already ordered the magenta to make up for it! :$:lol:
Ooooo a black tail!!! I actually wanted a black tail but I'm not sure how it would photograph. I went for pink and black instead. Although my tail isn't made yet so I wonder if I asked them their thoughts on a black tail? Hmmmmm <3

I have a black tail, I had the same concern but it looks to have turned out well.
They posted on Instagram about their black Friday sale starting on Thursday at 12 o clock at night, fin sets for the mystic tails only are free, and apparently they're gonna have little surprise-type items showing up to buy.
I MIGHHHHTTTTT need to finally buy a mystic tail cause the temptation is killin me but I don't have the money ughhhhhh. (They're also sold out of the teal one, and I'm not sure what size I would be but I think large (which is the only size of the dark pink tail left) is a little too big but I WANT ONEEE....... ;P
Wait....12 at night in what time zone?!??!Quote:

I'm thinking what they meant is midnight friday. Since midnight it's the first hour of the new day, it makes more sense this way
Yes....it does....Thursday at midnight threw me off....Quote:

Interesting to see what these holiday 'eggs' are going to be that will be dotted around on the website too :D
I had a dream of swimming around in my mythic teal tail last night and woke up to an email from Bryn... Coincidence ?! :D
I bought my mythic tail the minute they came live on the website, Im glad I did because it meant i got the colour and size i wanted (which has proven to be mega popular) and has sold out. Im glad I got in there! Im going to do a unboxing video and upload to youtube as well the minute i get it :) I will zoom in up close on these individual scales etc

ahhh I just saw these tails a few days ago and I love them!! :dance: I think the resin scales look better than the full silicone ones, more realistic! not so sure about the durability though...
Anyways, if I lived in the US I'd get one without a second thought, but the shipping costs+customs duties are really putting me off :thumbdown:
Agreed. Canadians are sobbingQuote:
