►►► FEBRUARY 2020 UPDATE!!
- Added back the ZHAO Tail AO due to demand (you can use it instead of the built-in AO for more customization)
- Added the missing XL size that was left out of the package by accident.
- Updated the HUD scripts to be faster.
- Made a second, alternate Mini-HUD that changes the full tail at once. It's faster than the full version, use it if you want to change the full tail at once.
--
►► This tail has 6 faces for ultimate customization! 31 color HUD and is also tintable.
►► This tail includes a tail-only AO (Animation Override) that can be worn alongside your regular AOs, a Static Pose HUD for taking pictures, AND a simple menu-driven animation system.
►► There are 6 sizes: No deformer, XS, S, M, L, and XL. Sizes increase LENGTH only.

Please note that you need a Bento enabled viewer for this product to work properly, so if you don't plan to update, don't buy this. No refunds. (The latest SL viewer and Firestorm viewers work! ♥)
There are 5 deformers in this package, for different tail lengths. You will need to try them on and see which you like more; some will look smoother than others based on your shape.

Awesome Tail!
Love this tail, its easy to use and color to your preference. I appreciate the work put into it, would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great Bento tail!
High quality but AO needs work.
Why does the tail not animate on it's own like the demo version?
I also have the other neko tail from here and it has the same issues.
Sometimes when your avi is changing AO from interacting with prims, the tail just cuts out.
It's annoying having to use an additional attachment just to get it animating. It's too bad the tail didn't know to always just animate the last motion it was told to play.
Aside from the AO issues, it is a good tail and the color is easy to adjust.
Great idea and pretty cute, but broken beyond belief! - Super easy fix if you're a scripter.
I must say, the idea with this tail is just awesome! It looks so smooth and it's very well detailed. The customization you can do with this tail is fantastic. But the whole animation thing is a real nightmare. I don't know what the creator was thinking when they made the script and all that but their own idea literally went out to sea. This 'AO' thing is completely unnecessary! The creator just need to give the tail different states. Here's an example;
Standing state = Wag
Running state = Straight
Sitting state = Wrapped
Ground sitting state = Wrapped
Don't waste your time wearing the AO or the Basic Tail Animations attachment provided with this thing, they works 1/4 of the time and break on their own. The tail depends on one of them to be animated. Without them, the tail is just a static attachment. The creator could've simply put the entire thing inside the tail instead of wasting an additional attachment slot just to animate the tail when the content of the tail is completely empty and could easily just carry all that stuff and be configured by touching the tail which is what I did afterward. Because luckily, for those who know how to script can easily fix the problem because it's a simple concept. If you don't know how to script, there's probably a bunch of scripts you can grab on Wiki and make the tail work the way you want.
It pains me to give such a low rating for such a cool product, but it's broken beyond belief. It's something so simple to fix, I just don't understand where they were going with that. In the notecard, the creator was saying that the Bento was just released and that when fitted mesh was new, there were lumpy boobs and bums everywhere and that it can take a little while to master new technology. Well, this person seems to be good enough with rigged mesh. This tail is basically an extra arm, nothing more. The issue is just related to a terrible script. Overall, it does work. But not without further modifications.
Love this tail!
I absolutely love this tail, absolutely well done! Currently uploading a video review to my youtube channel :)
Almost perfect - few ideas for some future update.
This is really nice. Easy to use and mod.
I wish it was just a tiny bit thicker.
I would like to see an animation that is a little more up than 'straight' but only by about 5-10 degrees, not way up there like the up pose.
I do wish I did not have to wear a hud or attachment to get animations - but I fixed this by copying one of the animations into the tail and adding a tiny script to start the animation when I wear it. IF I want the other anims for some special moment, I can then wear the object to go off of my chosen 'default'.
I would also LOVE it if you could make versions with the deformer linked in, so I did not have to wear that as well as the tail. I tried to link it but found the deformer was no-mod so couldn't be linked. (I'm using it in XS - which is actually, for my shape, longer than no deformer).
My last concern is that this tail is a series of segmented hollow cylinders that slightly overlap on the outer side. It uses transparency maps on each. This means the tail looks very strange next to windows and water and other semi-transparent surfaces. I wish I could get her other solid tail - the one with the bow… without a bow on it, and as thick as this one, or thicker - so it would not have that problem. I have been experimenting with using ‘alpha masking’ to get rid of the effect, but it doesn’t look so nice.
That said... this is almost the tail I was looking for to replace my more script-laggy old mesh tail. It fits just fine on the back of Belleza Freya for those looking to know. I will keep an eye out on this builder to see if she makes one that is about 5-10% thicker... :)
And I am now going to have to make some 'spots and stripes' textures to match the look I had on my old tail.
A very nice floofy tail base!
I've always been a hybrid of sorts in SL, a neko girl since 2006 when I joined of some sorts.
Obviously, I was very excited to see the advent of bento tails come, and so far this is one of the better ones.
The furry community has been doing really neat deformer tails for awhile, but in so far as mainstream market options, and actual customisability, this tail really takes the cake.
The 7 faces are very easy to tint using the inworld tools, and you're able to make a lot of lovely and soft gradients. The base texture is perfect and soft, tints very nicely. A lot nicer and easier to work with than most tails on the market currently. I would have liked to see them offer some type of dev kit for texture modding for those with patterns and such, but where there is a will, there is a way.
I feel this one falls a little short when it comes to animations and the AO. The tail acts quite like jello, and there isn't many options which are sort of a slow and natural movement, it's just a lot of swishing unless you set it to one of the static poses. I may be spoiled by the vast HUDs to control most furry tails (Raawr tails etc)...
However, since I suspect that in the future, there will be more animations for tails that can act universally, this should be a non major issue.
I do however love the wrapping tail poses, those are very cute and an adorable touch. I'll probably be using those a lot until I can find other options for normal animating which are more calm and relaxed.
Would love to see a floofier (like outrageously thick floofy tail) from this creator, as I do love their texturing and smooth rigging. I would also love to see accessories like bows / bells at the base or tip of this tail or other such things.
