    Oh my gosh I love those detail shots!

    From the photo above, I can see what Mermaid Claudia was talking aboutwhen she said that some of the scales are a little clear. That is a really neat effect. You know, it might be interesting to see Finfolk do one where the scales are very clear with maybe an opalescent shine.

    I am loving these mythic tails more and more! I can't wait for customer reviews!

    I will! My tail ships at the very end of the month, so I'll be expecting it by early January!

    The wait to find out has been hard - this year has been hard - but tomorrow we will know who won the free mythic tail. I really want one, but so do 14 thousand other people according to the likes on the post. May the odds be ever in your favor!

    Best of luck to all who entered. The fact that people have less than a 1% chance of winning is INSANE. This win will definitely make one lucky mer's year.

    True. So some may have lower chances than others. Hmmm...!!!

    I like this one person's comment about why they should win a free tail:

    Hope Sunshine Brummitt Let me accomplish my dream to create a legend of a mermaid in belews lake by using an oxygen tank and for the next 40 yrs make random appearances until ive built up a strong small town mystery
    Very original!

    As much excitement builds up for these tails, there was something I did want to bring up earlier and that was the delicacy of these tails on land. The mermaid Finfolk recently reposted, pixie_dustling, she posted a photo of the extra scales and stating how she already needed repairs.

    pixie_dustling@ripplethemermaid Unfortunately, some scales around the heels fins got scratched/broke off after my first swim/shoot*:. I don't think they can take too much pressure/rock action hehe..
    She has some goregous photos: https://www.instagram.com/pixie_dustling/

    Resin although harder, it is more likely to break for its rigidity. I feel like these tails were built more for swimming opposed to land events. Also doesn't neoprene take longer to dry or am I confusing materials?


    ALSO A LONGER SNIPPET VIDEO: https://www.instagram.com/p/BOsvnQil...ken-by=ejforth

    These tails are beautiful underwater.

    Is this the first tail she has ever had though? Not saying that is the cause for the damage but I have noticed that some mers are a bit rough with their first tail. A tail whose scales feel hard such as mythic tails could create a false illusion that they are super sturdy but of course just like with sequin tails the scales can break or fall off.

    Though it does make sense that the heel areas would be a problem area.

    Well, hopefully there won't be too many issues with the Mythic Tails but I am sure Finfolk will find ways to improve it just as they continually improve their work on silicone tails.

    Edit - saw Finfolk's reply to this photo:
    finfolkproductions@ripplethemermaid we're doing our best and learning with these new tails. ❤

    They seem thin to me which would make them easier to break; or maybe that's just a trick on the transparency. I'm surprised people would be rough with them though, like I know its supposed to hold but thats together not against other stuff like hard surfaces. Even with silicone you're not supposed to drag it across the pavement and whatnot.

    I'm betting for a lot of mers its their first tail or first upgrade from a fabric. Most of the Mythic owners so far who have popped up on my feed don't have previous mermaid-related pictures. The heel fins would at least give some protection at least.

    Very true on the improvement and I did see that comment, I just forgot to add it in smoothly after finding that video. My bad. They have mentioned about the scales floating up around the waistline and trying to fix that.

    She did a photoshoot sitting on very rigid looking rocks if you check out her Instagram. That's something I would definitely not advise with this tail, considering the scales are attached individually and can form spaces between each other. It makes them easier to come off if you're in an unsmooth area. You should be fine if you're sitting in a chair during an event, or sitting on the sand. I just wouldn't advise sitting on rocks or concrete.

    Heck, I wouldn't even do that in a fabric tail! Though I must admit that it does make for very aesthetic mermaidy pictures.

    Neither would I! Haha! I think common sense is needed with every tail and caring for it. These are pricey, you'd never catch me dragging mine around, fabric or not! Btw Faith, I subscribed to your channel! Love your videos.
