I just need to gush for a moment about how much I love these ears from Aradani Studios. I just purchases my third pair. Each pair lasts me about 2 years and that’s with larping once a month, for 8 months a year. They probably would have lasted me even longer if I had taken proper care of them (cleaned them, kept them out of extreme temperatures). I would definitely recommend having them paint them for you unless you know how to paint them. When I first started larping I bought cheap lord of the rings ears off amazon and they were basically yellow and uncomfortable and horrible. Quality ears are definitely worth the investment.
