Welcome to the US & Kemono Fursuit Maker Index, a comprehensive, data-driven directory and analytics dashboard designed to assist the fursuit community with researching, comparing, and commissioning creators from the United States and Asia.
- Website URLs: https://skipasnow.github.io/fursuit/index.html & https://skipasnow.github.io/fursuit/american.html
The data powering this website is categorized into several core directories:
The primary index tracks hundreds of active makers across the globe (heavily focusing on China, Japan, and Korea). For each maker, the directory provides:
- Basic Info: Maker Name, Logo/Preview, and Location.
- Pricing Data: Estimated base prices (USD) for Full Fursuits and Partial Fursuits.
- Specialties & Aesthetics: Categorization by tags (e.g., Realistic, Western, Hybrid).
- Commission Status: Current commission status (Open or Closed) and overall ranking.
- Social Reach: Follower counts and account age.
To prevent inactive account data, the index features an automated tracking system that monitors public portfolio activity.
- Days Since Last Post: Icons track next to maker name the frequency of updates: ⭐0+ days, ✅ 31+ days,
⚠️ 120+ days, 🛑 300+ days - Content Growth: Monthly tracking of new uploads to identify rising stars and highly active studios.
- Note: This data tracks public content updates, which helps gauge production volume, but does not guarantee direct-message response times.
International commissions carry logistical concerns:
- US import and shipping and insurance costs.
- The tariff rates for Japan, Korea, and Vietnam are 25%, Taiwan is 15%, and China is 50%.
- Makers that work with logistics companies typically have a lower tax ratio, much cheaper than flying. Verify that the maker is using a logistics partner.
- Flying is frequently cheaper than shipping with standard tariff rates, if logistics partners are not viable for the maker.
- Always remember that flying in-person typically guarantees your fursuit will arrive safely, shipping carries a small, but realistic risk.
A dedicated index for makers who specialize in fursuit-adjacent items, including:
- Accessories
- Undergarments
- Maintenance Tooling
Users can filter the database to fit their exact budget and style preferences. You can sort makers by Location to estimate freight and tariff costs, or by Aesthetic to find the exact style you are looking for.
- Static Data: Base prices, locations, and specialties are curated and manually updated to ensure accuracy.
- Dynamic Data (Social Metrics): Follower counts and "Days Since Last Post" are updated autonomously via an integrated API script. The system runs monthly to ensure the activity analytics remain fresh without hitting rate limits.
All pricing data is estimated and intended for research purposes only. Actual quotes will vary based on character complexity, material costs, and currency exchange rates. Always contact the maker directly for an official quote and read their Terms of Service before sending payment. Typically a good formula estimate is: (head price / 0.4) = base full suit price Base full suit price + $1000 = complicated full suit price
