Just because the question has come up, the area was power washed that morning and I made sure ahead of time that the customer had no issues with the suit being on the ground or around my cats (and as you can see they themselves spent plenty of time on the ground outside when they wore it)

The customer flew in from the East Coast to attend Sac-Anime with me and to take home their costume.

The tail was a free upgrade from the typical stuffed one they paid for, I felt it would be too lifeless, so I went with the a braided wire core so it would swing and bounce.

The LED kit and front claws are from Flurrycat. Note that the LED kit was just the LEDs, I made the eyes...and man, none of these photos or videos capture just how stunning the eyes are in person, the way the light looks behind the veins of the eyes is mesmerizing.
