Thread: Finfolk's New Tails!

The twins have been posting amazing things on their personal Facebooks and let me tell you, the Spring/Summer Mythic line is gonna be lit. 🔥🔥

    EEEEEE! I can't wait to see where the twins go with these tails! They are already pretty great and I am pumped to see what more will come from this line.

    I went to check FB and I was like where? Then I just noticed you said personal

    Can't wait to see what they roll out but I'm curious how they're doing with all their silicone orders

    Mermaid Gemini's tail (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLVBHhZyxoM&t=7s ) the scales on hers are obviously over lapped.

    What is going on? Can anyone else see this or is it just me? I am MEGA worried now. I want the scales on mine to be over lapped.

    I have emailed the twins regarding this issue and hope to bring it to their attention before they dispatch my tail. Nope I haven't received it yet *sob*
    You are absolutely right! I was pausing the Youtube videos for both to look more closely. Just looking at the tails, when they are not worn, it is very clear that Mermaid Saren's tail scales are sewn in straight rows with minimal overlap, whereas Mermaid Gemini's are overlapped quite tightly. If the scales aren't overlapped tightly like in Mermaid Gemini's tail, when a tail is put on and the neoprene stretches, there will be gaps between the scales...Oh dear!

    I was going to say this, actually. Glad someone else spotted this as well!

    Oh man, I'm so nervous about this now. I really hope everyone gets the quality they pay for, regardless of the size they ordered. I'd be really upset if just because I ordered a large, I get less scales than a small.

I am mostly concerned about the potential for muffin-tops and the tail sliding down when swimming/dolphin kicking...But I will let you know!
    Ah thanks for that information! I generally like high waisted tails, but if it looked good I really wouldn't mind a low sitting tail... as long as it doesn't slide down, indeed. Anyway really curious about how you'll like your tail. Hope it meets your expectations

    I did order the fin upgrades. Maybe that's what dictates the way the scales are placed? I'm just hoping that the case.

    If you need to contact them I suggest Facebook messenger. They replied the next day for me.

    Good luck w/ that..LOL...i have contacted them via FB too a couple of times....sometimes I catch them online and they answer. I am still waiting to hear about the leggings I need to exchange from Black Friday, that shouldnt be that hard of a request. Tempted to go to Mermania if only to finally get these in the right size...Have you heard from them at all?

    I'm really really upset. The second time I've ever put my Mythic tail on, so I can take her on her maiden swim and the left monofin strap RIPS. It's 2/3 of the way done. I'm very afraid the next time I put the tail on I will rip it and the tail will be unusable.

    What do I do? Can I fix the shooter monofin strap? Has anyone had this problem with shooter monofins?

    Am I the only one extremely annoyed with the lack of communication on these tails? Not one email since I placed the order, no response to Facebook/Instagram messages and still no tracking number when we were promised these tails by "mid January" if you ordered during Black Friday. I understand these tails are in high demand, but they were advertised as "ready made" tails and they obviously aren't. For the money we paid, shouldn't we at LEAST get an update on what's happening?

    I'm annoyed too. I emailed them twice about an address change and no response. It's frustrating. I know that they're super busy but dang. It's a little disheartening

    Wow, an address change is important too. I'm sorry you guys are going through this.

    It is, but if it doesn't happen it's no big deal. The original address is to my parents house. We moved to a new place in January. I was expecting to have the tail by January (having order beginning ish of November). But that's okay. I know they're busy.

    Totally agree with you on the update!!!I got a response via FB yesterday (regarding my leggings) but they also said, they had a whole bunch of tails that were shipping out over the next couple of days. Looks like mine was included. I ordered Magenta on 11/14, so hopefully you will hear something soon. She also said she was going to get the sizing info for the leggings...but they also said that months ago. The tails, I assumed would run later than expected considering they sold so many. I find it more frustrating asking for a sizing chart back in Nov and still not knowing the sizing for the leggings. Anytime I buy clothes online, there is always a size chart. That should have been figured out and posted when all the clothing first appeared for sale online. I also feel that the clothing that needs to be exchanged should be done in a timely manner, since they are not physically making those. I sent my leggings back in early Dec and am still waiting on the exchange.

    **I finally got my silk veils from Poland that I was waiting on too...yay for one thing

    I have a clip of swimming in the Mythic tail, I'll upload my review later in the week.

    The twins have gotten back to me about my leggings and hopefully they will bring mine to Mermania. I already emailed them about the monofin strap and I'm just waiting on that.
