I just walked in from making some angel trumpet cuttings and remembered to check Finfolk's facebook. Still no word on the winner that I could find. :biting nails:
anyone else buy during the presale and their tail hasn't shipped yet?? i'm honestly very annoyed.

The FinFolk Mythic Tail winner is Ayesha Sosa! 💜
And with a huge congrats to her , FinFolk Productions posted the message with a orange scale background! So maybe one of their new Mythic tails are orange?
Those orange scales look so pretty! :swoon:
Ayesha Sosa is soooo lucky!
I purchased mine on Nov 14th. Still waiting also. They did send an email out a couple weeks ago about the delay. First batch went out for Christmas and the rest would be end of Dec. beginning of Jan. It should be soon now :)Quote:

Ayesha Sosa has replied to the post saying she won. I was checking out her profile. She is SO deserving like, I feel awful for wanting to win. :$ Also she has an orange tail and Finfolk posted her name over orange scales. I am pretty sure one of the next Mythic Tails will be orange.
They did have a poll on FB asking for new colors, orange was a popular choice.
I'm glad it wasn't random :) That was so sweet of them reading through everyone's stories (at least the heartfelt ones).
Pretty sure shipping is behind for a lot of companies, not just Finfolk. The joys of the holiday season.
Makes me so disappointed that I bought my tail so soon. Orange was my dream color all along. I also suggested Orange or Gold during the poll on Facebook. I guess I'll just have to save up for it. The woman who won was so deserving, I'm so happy for her!!
I'm so glad the only thing really "wrong" with the tail is the occasional scale falling off, which was something to be kind of expected . I just got my tracking number for my tail, and it looks like it'll be arriving on Friday :wooo:

And I'll be posting an unboxing video on YouTube :> I'll make sure to link it on here as well

I just found this Mythic Tail review by Catherine Steele on Instagram:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BOxqUcJB...leillustration
The discussion on that post is interesting too. She has good pros and cons but what mainly interested me is that she has lost 8 scales after only taking it out twice. Once again I see no previous evidence of her swimming in a mermaid tail so it could just be a beginner thing - learning how to swim in a tail, learning what surfaces you shouldn't wear your tail on, etc. This has me more and more curious about how the majority of mers will do with this tail.
I just got my email about my order shipment. They really are working around the clock to get these tails out. At the latest some tails will be shipped out mid January. Does anyone know the twins personally? Do they like chocolates? I would like to make them treats to show how much they are appreciated!
I think it might be a beginner thing. I took mine out over 4 times and the only thing that happened was that one scale on my heels cracked, I have a magenta with fins. You have to be careful i only put it one with a yoga mat beneath me.
There are a few things that make it a little hard like getting you feet in to the mono fin but its the same it would be with any other tail with non detachable body.
I did talk to the girls (I had a zipper problem) and they spoke of making alterations on the second batch that will come out in january like double reinforcement in some locations.

I certainly agree with you. I suppose so many people are excited that they can get a $800 tail that is highly realistic and not crappy and strewn together suddenly. So excited that they just forget for a moment that the scales are kinda delicate. But hey , live and learn right?

Oooooo I bet Friday cant get here fast enough! Spam us with pictures please! :D
I just found a fuller video of someone swimming in the Mythic tails:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-TzRztWOkU
The fluke is super cute. I feel the top portion color of the magenta is harsher underwater against the rest of the transitioning colors and stands out little too much but still beautiful colors. The flow of the fluke is gorgeous. I can't wait until someone gets underwater footage of it.
Also sidenote, Saren, are you still getting a full silicone tail from Finfolk? Or did you change tail makers? I'm sorry I don't remember.
Hello! I am new to the MerNetwork, but I found your thread on FinFolk's fabulous Mythic Tails! (I am eagerly awaiting my teal mythic tail--squeeeee)! Anyhoo, I just saw your post about underwater footage of it and I found this video clip of mermaid_bubu on Instagram of her swimming in the ocean (under water) in her mythic tail:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BO04qQED...y=mermaid_bubu
The fins move beautifully! Kind of wishing now that I got I got the extra fins!
Omg, that clip is exactly what I wanted to see. It looks absolutely incredible and really makes me happy that I got the fin upgrades! The fluke moves beautifully, not stiff at all like I was worried it would be. The color is stunning.Quote:

I'm still getting a full silicone tail from Finfolk. I just also really wanted a mythic tail while they were on pre-sale prices.Quote:

Hoping to be able to get one of these by this summer! I am so excited for these tails!

I got a 500$ cheque for Christmas (Thanks to my grandparents!) plus I have other cash saved up so I'm hoping to be able to snag one of these as well! Hopefully they come out with a purple one at some point! XD
agreed. Last they posted the fin upgrade included all the fins. there was not an option for only certain onesQuote:

I wish it had options. I want just the heel fins to hide the food bump. The others seem like they create to much drag. Also hoping for purple! I was disappointed when they had purple leggings but not a purple tail to match! Magenta was a close second though.Quote:

Yeah I'd prefer just having a dorsal fin or heel fins. While hip fins are pretty I feel like they'll create drag and get in the way. And I totally would love a purple option too!
Sent from my SM-G386W using Tapatalk
Yeah I feel you. I probably would have gone with the same fin choices as you if the option was available. I guess it's because they're not customizing these tails at all. 😮
Also a purple tail would be amazing! 😍

@Saren, gotcha well I can't wait to see any of your tails <3
The point of these tails is "mass production". Besides different sizes, if they allowed multiple options for fins, it ups the time spent on the tails which is what they're trying to avoid. The individual customization is taken out to decrease time, another benefit of these tails. Plus they're not even just one full color, they're a gradient in several different variants. Hand sewed. Bla bla bla.
I'm pretty sure people understand this, and know this, hence my abrupt ending.
It'd be nice if they could offer more customization. I'd love just a solid color or just a three color gradient. I forget who suggested this, but buying sets of different scale colors to make your own sounds like an awesome idea for these tails. Of course that would be more on the buyer's work side to resew all the scales if they really wanted to switch out colors and you'd just have to buy the extra scales. But considering you'd get more customization out of it, not a bad trade off as long as you know how to sew. Otherwise that'll be hard.
I can't wait to see more of these tails in action, also I found a cool picture of one of the twins in it. Very sultry. I'll try finding it again to post here.
Also the matching tops. That's another addition... I wonder when those come into play... :swoon:
I hope down the road when they aren't as swamped with orders they seriously consider a "sew your scale tail kit" or something. I'd prefer the customization something like that would offer.
That would be really awesome.
I can't wait to see the new colors. I'm really hoping for a black tail, but I know that's not a very common color choice.... I'd go for purple too!
