WOW! So cool! I saw her post the dorsal I think it was on instagram. It's very pretty and I love the colors to it--I've also been wondering when Raven would make a merman tail!
Hey Iona if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay after the extra fins? They look amazing btw
Does anyone know if Raven still does extra fins on the basic tails? It says on her facebook info that she does, but I remember her posting a few months ago saying they were no longer offered on the basic tails... I'm hoping that they still are, not that the information section is out of date :)
Where are you reading that? She can't do them anymore for the basic. When I read the FAQ it says not...just curious. :P
I asked her when I had mine done and she says she doesn't do them on basics.
Gah!! My tail doesnt fit in the suitcase! Has anyone traveled in a plane with their merbellas tail? Im terrified of it getting broken, crushed, or torn. :(
Try a giant art portfolio bag.
Yep, large artist portfolio is how it's done.
$75 per pairQuote:

Thanks! I know the cost is in ravens faq and somewhere in this thread but my phone won't let me see any of that.... Stupid phone internetQuote:

Sooo....had a talk with the husband/mertender tonight! We agreed I can order a Basic Merbella's tail!!!! Sooo excited! I'm going to email her now and see if maybe she can take me, but that way I at least have my foot in the door!!! Gahhhh!!!! Soooo excited!
Yay! Congrats, Harmony!!! I'm so excited for you! I'm not sure if she's taking any basic orders, but it's good to be on the list just in case. ^_^ I know they're out and about right now with a gig, I think they're returning soon. :o So excited.
Urg I hate to be a dark cloud over everyone's awesome tails, but I ordered her bracers when she had them up on etsy and then she shipped them out in the mass bulk shipping thing that she did. I only now just got them, which is weird for American shipping (I shipped it to my friends house across the boarder), but I had her open them for me and take pictures.
The paint job is well... Not what I was hoping for. Its... A disapointment in a sense. I really wanted them to match this tail http://mernetwork.com/index/showthre...-Tail-For-Sale and asked for her too do so. So you'd think black with blue with maybe some spots here and there. Not really, it's only blue. And I'm not even sure if it's the right blue... *rolls around*
I feel like I shouldn't complain over something only worth like $50 but at the same time, since it's only $50 to her and she's used to $1000+ orders, maybe she just over looked this and urg. I hate this weird flip floppy feeling.
(Pictures will be up when I pick them up)
Everyone's getting all their pretty Merbellas tails and I'm just here like: .____. ...Waaahhh. xD One day I'll get a tail!!!
Nothing standard fits them. I have tried everything and every artist portfolio bag, luggage, everything. I commissioned Sephina to make one for me and it's featured in my latest behind the scenes video.Quote:

I watched your video Raina but I must have missed your bag. We did talk to American Airlines and we can put the tail in a garment bag and take it with me as my carry on!! Man that is a load off my shoulders. I can also have my bcd and regs which is awesome! Its going to be nice to know my tail is safely right above my head in the compartment. Now the fun part, making sure no one puts their luggage on top of it.
Was wondering about this too.
Now that I have this huuuuge competitor (it's ginormous! I'm afraid every pool will kick me out! :jawdrop:),
how can one possibly transport this on a plane? (without paying incredible transport costs, preferably)
The only way I can reach a (swimmable) sea is by plane (driving 12+ hours not an option).
Also, thanks for the unboxing videos!
It's great to see the tails up close. Really helps when planning a purchase/making a tail.
The molded scales are fintastic!
Anyone heard news from Raven? I'm so stoked when I finally hear she's going to finish/ship my tail out :confused:
Ok. Just read at Merbellas page they are back in action by thursday 0______o Aaargh the wait! *going paranoid*
http://i45.tinypic.com/au8ow3.gif
Yay! I hope they had fun! Ariel, I can't wait to see your tail! Mine seems so close and yet so far!
I'm sorry to hear about the bracers. :-( I think she might have just been overwhelmed with it. It happens with such large orders.
My bracers had issues too. I hope you don't have issues with sizing, I think Bracers are reallyyy difficult to size because they have to stretch way over my hands. My hands are 3 inches bigger than my wrists and when mine come back in, I really hope they work and fit well. =\ I know what feeling you have though, I had the EXACT same one. Email her about it and I'm sure she'll help you out.Quote:

I think that's just a weird phrasing. I think she means for the performance? Basic DESIGN of the performance tail? I dunno.
I will ask her lol
It was in the section marked "Basic tails" not "Performance tails" haha. I think our best bet is to just wait to see what Raina discovers from Raven herself :) No rush, though, I know they're performing! Just wondered, as I fantasize about my dream tail, haha.
Look what came in the mail today! No Signed copy, but I'm hoping to get a Signed photo from Raina ^_^
She used to offer extra fins and dorsals for Basics. My guess is she hasn't updated her FAQ :p
I believe its listed in her "about me" section still that she offers additional fins for a fee for the basic tail. That had confused me for a long time untill I saw one of her update post about the types of tails she offers and stuff.
yeah I asked but she wont be back til Thursday, I'm not sure she can even check her messages atm
So the bracers are beautiful quality I'll give her that.
But the sizing is way off (Almost 2" bigger then what I asked for) and the colors are not what I was hoping for... I'm going to message her today about it and see what she can do.

well, with you and MerEmma, i think that makes already two unsatisfied customers about the bracers.. i honestly think buying the bracers without trying them before is risky. although i find them amazing and really cool, i wouldn't take my chance. but that's just me.Quote:

You'll just get me :p I am manning the messages until they get back tomorrow!Quote:

I was going to message her Etsy. And even if she gets back tomorrow at least my message would be there waiting XD
I'm sure Raven will help you out. I'm anxious for mine to be redone again, but I know I need to be patient about it. :P
I CHECKED IN WITH RAVEN NO FINS ANYMORE ON THE BASIC TAILS SORRY!
*Deep breath*
So far, I have 1/3 of the funds I need for my tail... or about 1/6 of what I need for two wedding tails.
When I saw that in my bank account today, I was a little giddy.

Then, I realized still how much I have to save and how much weight I still need to lose...
