those tails are actually quite a few years old even though the photo is recent. Pearl's tail has pretty much all the same problems we see here I saw it in person. Her fill silicone one is totally split down the side and doesn't fit her well and hurts her feet. She doesn't publicly complain- she and Eric are friends. But I was personally shocked when I saw it. Paige hasnt had any issues with her tails that I know of other than she grows like a weed hehe so she's too tall for it now.

But yeah I'd say those tails are actually older than yours.
