Nico finally arrived today. Time to show him off!

A few more angles can be found by clicking here, these three were the three that came out the best and felt most presentable. I realize they're not the most artistic shots ever but they do a good job of showing how he looks. (Hopefully these are just artistic enough to pass for some sort of "still life" and not just be one of those "hey look at my stuff" photos, and not be violating ToS on FA or Weasyl for being one of those "hey look at my stuff" photos.)
Of course I had to get a shot of him emerging from the box. As we all know by now, Nico would scoff at the idea of playing in a cardboard box but would 100% hide in a box if he could find one big enough, and blush and growl when he is inevitably caught sitting in the box with his blanket and his laptop.

I'm not sure how to write a proper review (I'm gonna try anyways!) but I'd be happy to answer questions if anybody has any.

Overall I'm very satisfied, although I will acknowledge that since they didn't have the sort of rusty orange "fox" color I usually use when drawing Nico available I opted for something a bit more orange (the available color palette is a bit limited so I'm aware minor compromises have to be made and I'm fine with that). He is 30 inches tall, the stuffing very firm yet still soft and nice to hug, and he able to stand up on his own while leaning against the wall, like the photos show. Detailing is really good, crafting and materials feel very high quality, the material is a very nice soft velvety sort of material (I'm a cartoonist not a craftsman so I don't know if there's a technical name for it) rather than a faux fur.
My drawing style doesn't translate super well to the third dimension but they still did a really good job with it!

My final score would be 4.5 fox emojis 🦊 out of 5, gotta deduct half a point for inaccuracies in color but I am still extremely happy with him. It sounds kinda weird and immature but I somehow feel "fulfilled" in being able to hug Nico. 

I would definitely recommend Budsies, this plush will make a fine addition to my collection.
Maybe in the future I'll get another custom plush from them since I'm very happy with how Nico turned out, I'd quite like a plush Buck Donner or Domec Domitius as well (I wonder if they'd have any issue with making a fat plush deer man with bright orange undies with a bullseye on the butt...).
