Raven's story and review on her Mertailor experience was taken down unjustly. However, I had taken screen shots of the original posts and 4 pages worth of replies. I have found a image host that will take the full size images (not reduce size)- the program I use turns the whole page into a big picture. The first page I had to break up into three sections as it was so large, but the rest should read like normal pages.

Be warned for those of you with slow connections, these are LARGE images! Once you click the link, it will show you a thumbnail of the picture- click on that to view the full size image, where it will read like a regular page.

thats a load of bull. I could build a better tail than that given 3 months and a budget of 500 bucks. I mean really...for about half that time I can cut individual scales out of colored high gloss acrylic and rivet them on to a sturdy body sleeve (i'd use something extremly stretchy so I can accomodate a number of sizes) to give aa realistic effect. sure, its time consuming BUT it is definatly worth 480$ (the other twenty is for shipping)

that tail I would expect to find at party city or some other chain costume shop.

Wow. I just removed him off of the list I have made on my blog for place to buy tails for people interested... How unfortunate! What ever happened to doing what we do for the love of it! It makes me feel very sad for those who received poor quality products when all they wanted was to bring a little magic into their lives and the lives of others! It makes me so sad to see!

EDIT: Having spent some time reading many MANY other posts, I have to say that I will keep my eye on him to see if there is any improvement, but for now will remain cautious of recommending him to anyone else.
