Lol...I figured "on the small side" would be close to me. Nope, way too huge :P
Whoever that was made for is way tall, but about the same waist as me with tiny hips. Hopefully it'll fit someone perfectly and go to a good home!
yeah just remember that was the FIRST basic tail they made, so it wont be the same as the new ones.
Also, she's updating her prices soon.
Those are my exact measurements like wth. Grrrr I want it but alas I'm broke :'(
As in... Prices going up?Quote:

So, depending on the tail you want, it can be less expensive. But adding some of the amenities can balance it to it's original pricing. However, I feel like this is a very good deal. I hope the new pricing is correct. :)
Well if it is it would certainly reel in people who are who might have been considering other tailmakers since the base price is lower. I like it that the market its big enough now that competitive pricing is becoming more of an actual thing :)
Actuallyno not what I mean. But I don't know their schedule or plan. Just know they plan on making changes in the future
I believe it was originally Mermaid Meshpa's tail, but she no longer works with Merbellas. She can be seen swimming in this tail in one of the Merbella videos.Quote:

It is. Once I saw the tail I instantly thought of her. It's such a bummer because she was my favourite Merbella. The way she moves and presents herself underwater is flawless. I especially loved hearing her 'Mer-chirp'. I wonder why she doesn't work for them anymore. I loved watching her videos. :)Quote:

I literally have an obsession for that tail she's trying to sell. I wish and wish I had the money right now for something like that :\ I LOVED her first basics. I "think" she made them with the silicone fluke mold. But they caused too much drag so she stopped making that way. That was the story right? xD Or am I wrong? I remember months back I was wondering if she still made them that way, but she doesn't. Blaaahhh I'd sell my soul for that tail. I love the floppiness in it. I don't even care about the monofin being a little visible.
Seeing that the price for performance tails has gone down makes me excited! Although I am making my own silicone tail, I still really want to get a performance tail from Raven!! XD I absolutely adore my partial-silicone one, so I know that a performance one will be totally amazing >.< Now just to start saving again! haha!
Wow some great news here! Sadly I could never effort a Performance tail, scince shipping to Belguim is just WAAAAAAAY expensive for that! For my basic tail, I had to pay a $1000 shipping (including extra fees etc)
I contacted Raven twice about my tail glue and Ariel bra, but U haven't got any answer.
Tyler is taking over communications right now because Raven is still unwell. And he's out doing performances right now with his Circus group
Poor girl! Somebody mail her some chicken soup! Stat! Being sick sucks.
:< Wish I could, I make dang good homemade chicken soup.
Gahhhh, I always forget that Tyler does his own work too. :\ She gets sick so often...hope she feels better soon.
That basic tail is being asked $800 for--such a great deal for such a gorgeous tail and she might even haggle it if enough time goes by. I hope someone can swoop it up to a good home!! :D
Some pictures I've been meaning to post as a reference. With my first pair of scale bracers, the scales were easily ripped apart and with a 3+ inch difference between my hands and wrists it was far too easy for them to pull apart. Raven made my second pair with smaller scales and she said she planned to make the Merbella Scale bracers that way from there on, and I just wanted to post real quick as reference the difference between the scale sizes as I still have the little scale scraps she used to put the earrings (gift<3) on. I don't know if she'll do that for the rounded scale bracers but the Merbella ones would definitely have to, these scales are practically invincible. I put a spool of thread as reference for size.

(Sorry about the triple posting there...lol. :P)
I like the merbella scales on them! I'm glad they got all fixed up Emma! Those earrings are adorable!
*dying cow sound* I wish I had $800. Now I'm tempted to buy a scratch off card...
Really important question: How stretchy are the basic tails?
I ask because I might be able to fit the tail that Raven is selling. I fit all the measurements except the hips and knees! I'm only 4 inches off. Interesting. So, How stretchy are basic tails? Will it even fit if those two measurements are off? What are your opinions?
They likely won't stretch 4 inches.... full silicone won't even stretch 4 inches without being damaged over repeated wear that way.... Neoprene has elasticity to it, but four inches of stress-stretch is a lot on these materials.
Welp, I tried. Sorry Mrs. Raven, it looks like she's going to have to wait for that perfect buyer than. Curse my big-beautiful-perfect-birthing-baby hips.Quote:

Ugh... I think I've joined Raven in being sick. Haha no bueno. No me gusta estar enferma. :-(
Emma, those bracers! Augh! Remind me to buy a pair some day and buy some for the mermen in my life. XD
Oh no, those aren't earrings but it would be neat if they were. That's what the earrings were ON when I got them :PQuote:

I don't actually have any currently but I will see about that sometime if I can. :D
oooooh!! Those would be neat earrings though o-o
That green basic tail is almost the exact color scheme that I want D: Except I wouldn't fit into that thing if my life depended on it. Guhh it's one of my absolute favorite Raven tails too ;;
The green tail would fit me perfectly! I sent her an email, how long do you think it'll be before she responds?
The tail goes to the first person ready to pay, so if you havent heard you may not have been first. Tyler is handling the emails right now as well.Quote:

Oh, I probably won't get the tail then :( I had some questions and the price she is asking for is too high for me.
Yeah I think they were pretty clear the tail is going as IS for whoever can pay first.
It wasn't clear to me that the tail was going as is. Where did you find that information? On facebook, a lot of people were asking if it could be repainted and she wasn't answering.
it was posted here ;) a few pages back. But yeah, intended for someone ready to buy.
Soooooo, I scooped up Raven's opening for a performance tail (dying with excitement over here). I'm thinking of doing the angler fluke. Does anyone have one of her tails with the Merbella scales? I was consider getting them because they're gorgeous. But Raven told me they're more fragile than the rounded scales and stretch less. Anyone have an opinion on one over the other?
