Don't hide it Japan, you're just doing this to make cat girls

Why stop there? I want my dog and fox and wolf girls too

Nothing comes between a horse girl and her daddyโ€™s money.

Luckily you can already get those at your local stable AND with a bit of leather at your local bdsm club!

Won't someone think of the poor working class furries? A fur suit can already cost 10 or 20 grand. Now they're going to have to add cyborg body parts to the mix as well? Talk about gentrification!

Gerontofication, in this case.

The rich are going to take every last thing from us

wait what. i made one for 200 bucks that the theater program i made it for is still using 30 years later (i build shit to last). you mean i could make money doing that?

[โ€“] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I'm not in that community myself, but from what I hear a high quality for suit can cost $10-20k. Not sure what differences in construction may exist between those and what you made. But some artists definitely make decent livings making them.

Cooling systems, animatronics, durability.

Iโ€™m not part of that community, but Iโ€™ve built props for advertisements and museum installations; durability and reliability are where most of the money is, especially in low volume products.

Mmhmm. A nice head is 2kUSD or more. A whole custom suit starts at maybe 10, 15k, and can easily exceed 20.

I can believe it for the head. I had to build a horse head the next year and it was hard as fuck.

Also these ears will help to uh, absorb the echoes and extra noise of the world around you. Yeah.

[โ€“] Sergio@piefed.social 15 points 5 days ago

Looks more like Mecha-Godzilla, tho.

[โ€“] naught101@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

So, uh, you reckon you could fit eight of those on one person?

[โ€“] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

I think we can do just four

They need to increase their birthrate somehow.

taps fingers together rhythmically
Good, gooood. It's all coming together.

This feels more like monkey nannas. An entirely more niche kink.

catgirl mecha, if we're being precise.

[โ€“] Zachariah@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Is it prehensile? This could lead to octopus-like abilities if you added more than one.

[โ€“] serenissi@lemmy.world -5 points 5 days ago (3 children)

contrary to popular beliefs real cat girls do exist in Japan. there is more information on the internet https://redlib.orangenet.cc/r/realscatgirls . unfortunately it's on reddit not on lemmy (yet).
