"This auction is for a pre-owned, fully functional/swimmable, and extremely realistic Silicone Mermaid Tail created by FlipTails by Mike Van Daal!! This tail was previously owned by Mermaid Melissa. You can see the tail in action at: http://youtu.be/BN7zYDKOUAg andhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l__f2mBsCo0
FlipTails are made from high-end silicone with spandex mesh cast inside for added strength. It has a built-in monofin for high performance swimming. The tail has been created by mixing the pigment directly into the silicone, so there’s no problem with “paint” rubbing off. This tail is one of FlipTails Advanced “Splash” design which retail for $5700. It has a three color design, with specially designed fluke, 1 dorsal fin, 2 heel fins and realistic scale pattern.
This is a professional level tail. It is heavy weight and is one of the most beautiful and realistic tails made today. It is rugged, durable and will last for years. It is strong, extremely elastic (just like a rubber band), and well-made. It is buoyant-neutral, meaning that it will be nearly weightless when worn in the water. It will not make you sink, nor will it make you float. It also will not make you a better swimmer and is not a floatation device.
Silicone is a very durable rubber that has become a standard in the special effects industry. FlipTails use the highest quality silicone available on the market today. It’s extremely soft ("flesh like" feeling), very stretchy, and also allows the option to have realistic translucency in the fluke and fins. It is also UV stable. This tail also has a soft liner that allows freedom in movement, with no elastic waist band and no zipper.
Cheaper latex tails are also flexible, but do not offer as much stretch. Eventually over time, latex will wear down and become brittle, much like an old rubber band.
Save yourself from a 2 to 3 month wait time for a new tail with this pre-owned gem!
We bought this tail a year ago. We loved this tail and never even got to put it to good use, but unfortunately we must sell it because we need the money due to family health issues. This is a rare opportunity to own a high quality tail at a great price! |
The unstretched waist is 29 inches. The unstretched hips are 36 inches. The distance from waist to ankles is 42 inches. The silicone stretches well and easily can accommodate hip and waist measurements that are up to 3 to 4 inches larger. It has a women's medium swim fin inside, which fits approximately sizes 5 to 8 shoe size."
SWEET deal!
