A fursuit price makes more sense when you know whose work it buys and which pieces come in the box. The three makers below publish different prices and package definitions. Their figures give you real examples to compare, without pretending that a few studio websites establish a market average.

Key Takeaways

  • Read a named maker's price list alongside its portfolio and package contents.
  • Starting prices can change with your character's design and requested features.
  • A partial can include different pieces at different studios.
  • Ask about shipping, payment fees and any separate parts before setting your total budget.
  • An advertised price does not mean the maker has a commission slot available.

Published fursuit prices from real makers

The following USD figures were displayed on the linked official pages when reviewed on October 7, 2026. They are advertised starting or reference prices, rather than quotes for the photographed characters. This is a small selection of studios with readable price lists, not a ranking or the cheapest available offers.

Maker and official price pageHeadPartial exampleFullsuit example
28 GhostiezFrom $2,800Mini from $3,000; mini plus from $3,100Plantigrade from $7,000; digitigrade from $8,000
Golden MawFrom $4,250From $5,000From $8,000; padded from $9,000
Alpha Lyncis Fursuits$6,000 reference priceMini partial $7,000; partial $8,000 reference pricesNo fullsuit figure in this comparison

Alpha Lyncis says its list is for reference and that commissions are taken through auctions or offers. Use the particular offer's terms and price rather than assuming the table is a booking menu.

Browse the maker directory to compare more studios and reach their official ordering pages. A lower number alone cannot tell you whether a maker offers the expression, construction or fit you want.

A head example from Golden Maw

See the original gallery and Golden Maw's profile. The studio's price page says detailed patterns and multiple colors add to the base price, and shipping and handling are extra. Ask which requested features are included before comparing its head price with another studio's.

Compare the pieces before comparing the price

At 28 Ghostiez, mini means a head and handpaws, while mini plus adds a tail. Golden Maw's partial includes a head, handpaws and tail, with feet and sleeves listed separately. Alpha Lyncis's mini partial includes a head, handpaws and tail; its partial adds feetpaws and arm sleeves.

That means two offers called partial can leave you with different outfits. Write down the pieces you want, then check the exact package against that list. Our fursuit types and styles guide explains the terminology without treating one studio's labels as universal.

Question for the makerWhy it changes the comparison
Which head, hands, feet, tail and body pieces are included?A lower package price may leave parts to buy separately.
Are the feet intended for indoor or outdoor use?You need the version suited to where you plan to wear them.
Which expressions, eye options and attachments are included?A portfolio photograph can show an optional feature.
Is the padding removable, and how is it cleaned?The answer affects care, packing and what you receive.
Can matching pieces be ordered later?Future availability and matching materials need confirmation.

A partial example from Alpha Lyncis

The original gallery retains the maker's branding. The Alpha Lyncis profile links the package list and buyer terms.

Budget for the whole purchase

Ask for the build price, the currency and the payment schedule in writing. Then ask which costs sit outside that figure. Shipping may depend on the destination, parcel size and service, so request an estimate for your actual address.

Leave room for the care and storage equipment your maker recommends. The first-time fursuiting guide helps you plan what you need before the suit arrives. Follow the maker's care instructions when deciding which cleaning products to buy.

If you plan to debut the suit at a convention, keep that trip's registration, travel and accommodation separate from the costume budget. An expensive costume does not reduce the cost of getting there. The convention budgeting guide covers the trip planning.

Use this worksheet with your own figures:

CostWhat to enter
Costume and selected optionsThe written quote or sale price
Separate partsAnything missing from the package
Shipping and handlingThe maker's destination-specific estimate
Other transaction or import chargesCharges applicable to your payment and destination
Care, storage and transportEquipment you actually need
Convention tripYour separate event budget

Do not count a payment plan as a reduction in the price. Confirm when each payment is due and what happens if you need to cancel before accepting the schedule.

What a bodysuit photograph can show

See the official gallery and 28 Ghostiez's profile. When comparing a bodysuit-only offer with a fullsuit, check whether you already have compatible head, paws and feet. Ask the maker to confirm those parts rather than treating a completed costume in a photograph as the package you are buying.

Premade, used or custom?

A custom commission starts with an agreed project and your character. A premade offer may sell an existing costume or a design that still needs construction or fitting. A secondhand costume also needs a condition and measurement check.

Do not assume any of these routes guarantees a particular discount. Compare the actual offer, the pieces included, the fit and the work still needed. Ask for recent photographs of the exact item and an explanation of any damage or repairs.

Before contacting a studio, use the commissioning guide to prepare your reference and questions. Send a clear description of the pieces you want and the budget you can meet. The maker's answer will tell you more than a general price band.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a fursuit head cost?

In the examples above, published head figures start at $2,800 for 28 Ghostiez and $4,250 for Golden Maw, while Alpha Lyncis displays a $6,000 reference figure. These specific offers do not establish the minimum or average price across all makers. Check the current source and ask for your design's quote.

Is a partial always cheaper than a fullsuit?

Compare packages from the same maker with equivalent options. A partial can omit a bodysuit, feet or sleeves, but labels and included pieces vary. Do not compare two unrelated package names as though they buy the same work.

Are portfolio photos enough to estimate my price?

They show the maker's work, but they do not establish the pictured project's cost. Ask which features the maker can offer for your character and which change the quote.

Can I add a bodysuit later?

Ask the maker before buying the first pieces. A future opening, matching materials and compatibility with the existing parts need their confirmation.

How do I check whether I can afford an order?

Add the quoted build, separate pieces and other applicable costs. Check that you can meet the agreed payment dates while covering your other commitments. If the total does not work for you, ask about a smaller package or wait before ordering.
