How to Wear the Moving Tail

How to wear, move, film, store and travel with your ears and tails.

A tail that moves on command changes how a costume plays. Here's how to set it up, time the motion and carry it through a busy event.

Set Up in Four Steps

  1. Charge the faux-fur version. Top up over USB-C the night before so the remote has something to work with.
  2. Attach it at your waist. Put the tail on under or before cloaks and jackets, then check that it hangs behind you.
  3. Pocket the remote. Choose a pocket you can reach without looking, so the tail can react mid-scene.
  4. Rehearse the moves. Walk, turn, sit and climb a few stairs at home so you know how much room the tail takes.

Where It Shines

Photo Shoots and Night Looks

A lighter backdrop shows off the Black & white tail and its white tip, and a darker one makes the White tail stand out. After dark, light the tail from the side so the shape stays clear.

Skits and Stage Moments

Start the tail on a cue line or a growl, then stop it when the scene moves on. Timing it reads as character, not gadget.

Convention Days

Keep the motion off while you walk, and keep the tail close in queues, lifts and doorways.

Styling Tips

  • Add matching moving ears so ears and tail both react: fox ears for the Red fox tail, cat ears for the White tail, or wolf ears for the Black & white tail. The tail is 15% off when you buy it with these ears.
  • Match the tail to the outfit: warm browns and creams suit Red fox, soft pastels suit White, and gray, black and silver suit Black & white.
  • Shorter jackets and open cloaks let the tail show.

Care, Storage and Travel

Brush the fur gently with a soft brush. Keep the tail and its charging port dry and away from heat. For travel, coil it loosely in a bag or box with space around it, and pack the remote with your USB-C cable.
