AkaTG Posted April 24, 2013 As some of you may recall I'm interested in making a Horo dollfie (and received some flak for using the word copy). I've purchased a body (DDS), a head (07), commissioned an outfit. I'm now at the point where I need to find where I can get a custom set of matching wig, animal ears and tail. Are there people who do these things? From the wigs that I've seen with animal ears integrated, they're usually furry which doesn't suit my needs. I need more of a normal wig, that happens to have some furry ears attached, and only lightly furry. Tail can be furry just fine however, but of course needs the white tip! Any suggestions where to look for this sort of thing, or who to contact? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
finnleo Posted April 24, 2013 I think Sujin was already mentioned in the original holo-query thread, as an option. They are separate ear and tail combos, with the ears attached by default by a clear thin rubberband. The ears might not be spot on for holo (maybe use some hair-spray to get them more pointy?), but the white tipped tail is very close in my oppinnion. (and apparently they have a set available right now) A picture of me beat with a set by Sujin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted April 24, 2013 Yahoo Japan Auctions is the best place to find the fox ears and tail you're after. They normally sell for between $30-$40 for the set. Some of the ears attach using a clip-on headband, others use a rubber band or elastic of some type and still others use magnets. I prefer the magnets for ears because seeing elastics and ribbons/hairbands bugs me. As for tails, those are usually attached as a belt around the waist and then it peeks out from under the shirt or dress. I haven't seen any wigs that already have ears attached to them but there may be some out there on YJA. You'll probably have to do some color matching thru pictures one way or another unless you find a wig with ears sewn in. Happy hunting!

AkaTG Posted April 24, 2013 I think Sujin was already mentioned in the original holo-query thread, as an option. Thanks finnleo, I'd skimmed through my previous thread but I didn't see any real mention of where to buy in there. It probably was mentioned, but there was a lot of other stuff written... Is Suijin the only name that sells on YJA? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
finnleo Posted April 25, 2013 Is Suijin the only name that sells on YJA? I havent personally looked for ear accessories for awhile so wouldnt know for sure, Suijin just comes to mind first because they've had a constant output for years now. My suggestion is just to search with the suitable kanji's in the doll accessories categories. 狼 (ookami) - Wolf 狐 (kitsune) - Fox 獣 (kemono) - beast 猫 (neko) - Cat 耳 (mimi) - Ears 尾 (shippo?) - Tail Just searching for ears gave some results, but for example suijin lists those fox ears and tail, as a "fox set".

Yuan Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) I honestly found Suijin's ears slightly too light to match my Holo's wig, but they'll work for now. Next month I will be paying off the doll herself and then commissioning her outfit. Edited August 4, 2023 by Yuan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AkaTG Posted April 25, 2013 I honestly found Suijin's ears slightly too light to match my Holo's wig, but they'll work for now. Next month I will be paying off the doll herself and then commissioning her outfit. Yeah, I agree, they tend to be too light. Which is why I was wondering if Suijin was the only one. Do you know where you'll be commissioning yours? I went with Beyond Wonderland. They came pretty highly recommended, usually resin dolls but they do Dollfies as well. We'll see how that turns out when it arrives in ~June. They also linked to some threads on Den of Angels with regards to wigs and tails, but I can't read the thread since I don't have an account there. From the URL though, looks like they were fur ones, which I probably don't want anyway. I guess making some general searches like finnleo says might help.

Yuan Posted April 25, 2013 I found a few sellers on TaoBao who sew dresses. Turnaround time is about 2 weeks and you need a proxy to order, but it looks like a good quality and fits within my budget. I'm used to buying from Taobao so I'm excited to see how it comes out. http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1.0.98.Snz6MQ&scm=1007.77.3.0&id=20976912469&pvid=28aadcdc-dfb9-4035-8ff9-a909f4010de2&ad_id=&am_id=&cm_id=&pm_id= I was almost tempted to go with resin ears like what Pipos offers and furring them myself to match the wig. http://piposland.com/shop/step1.php?number=696&b_code=B20120503030247&c_code=C20120503030824 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kymaera Posted April 28, 2013 This isn't exactly what you're looking for (too short and fur wigs), but in case anyone else is interested, these are from a vendor that's been advertising on DoA: http://www.ardeurdelamour.com/products.php?TypeID=8&TypeSubID=0&SizeID=38 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kemonomimicry Posted April 7, 2024 My apologies for bumping a very old thread, but since this thread pops up when searching the forums for animal ears, I'll just use it for my suggestions instead of starting a new thread. Sujin was already mentioned, although their latest offerings seem to be mostly focused on cat ears and tails (including a very nice leopard set). These days they use magnets for tail and ears. Decently priced. I've found these two on Booth: https://nekomiko-library.booth.pm Wolf, fox (normal, kitsune multi-tail, multicoloured), squirrel, raccoon, harpy, and horse ears and tail sets, in multiple sizes - they also make tail-shaped cushions that look quite comfy. Downside: expensive, about 3-4 times as much as a Sujin set at least. https://dakki176taisya.booth.pm/ Fox ears and tail sets, multi-coloured and normal. All have ear inset with heart pattern. 10,000 yen a set. Both Booth shops have in common that the ears look like they're rather oversized IMHO. You can find more pictures of them on Twitter, or by Image Searching the shop name in Japanese on Google. On Y! Auctions: 野苺舎 (buyee won't show me the full seller name) Fox ears and tail sets, multi-coloured and normal. Decent prices. Otherwise look on Mandarake. Ears and tail sets sometimes show up for cheap there, I got a fox ears/tail set for 1500 yen there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Galvatim Posted April 7, 2024 I'm switching over to GraceLolitaShop on Etsy for my kitsune girls. https://www.etsy.com/shop/GraceLolitaShop?ref=shop-header-name&listing_id=1020306867&from_page=listing§ion_id=30073909 I really like the ears. The tails pin on rather than attach via a magnet, but that could be modified. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Riesz Posted April 7, 2024 (edited) CATZOO on Taobao is by far my favourite shop for ears and tails. https://shop67842759.taobao.com/ They offer a lot of customisation if you message them, too. They have tons of colours of fur to choose from and will totally customise the size, shape, etc of tails and ears. They're wonderful to work with! The prices are very good too, usually about $10 USD for ears and $5 USD for tails. They offer various options for attaching the ears like magnets, attached to headband, attached to hairclips, etc and the options for ears are wire to wrap around the waist or a clip. They do also sell human-sized ears and tails so be careful that the listing is for doll size. Edited April 7, 2024 by Riesz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tails pin on rather than attach via a magnet, but that could be modified. I'll give a word of caution on GraceLolita: I'd made my order originally early December last year, with a dispatch of of around the beginning of January, Delivery on January 18-ish. Towards the end of the month, Etsy emails me, asking if I had received my order. I told them no. Less than 24 hours, I get an email from the seller, (GraceLolita) replying that due to the Corona Lockdowns, she's way behind on orders. I finally got them last month, March. I won't deny that they look awesome, I bought the Calico cat set to make Diona from Genshin Impact, the black and white wolf ears and tail for Rieka, (there's a post here about her!) And a Fox/Kitsune set. Risa is currently wearing those. (all with the magnets, no clip-on) Prices are definitely reasonable for the quality, and I do recommend them as an option! Just beware there might be a longer wait than normal. Rick 1 "Madness takes it's toll, Please have exact change!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
