What do you guys think of these ears for Agitha? Do you think they're okay? Or are they too small? I kind of think the six inch ones would be too big, plus they're $30 whereas these are $12.

I actually have the six inch ears. To me, they spell Hylian more as they tend to have overlarge ears. And looking at Agitha, the six inch ones really would work better as she does have the larger ears that most Hylian girls seem to have (anyone ever noticed the guys tend to have shorter ears?). I know it'll hurt your wallet more, but believe it or not, six inches really isn't as big as you'd think. Really, when I saw the picture, I worried they would be too big, but when I got them then I was like "Oh... actually these are pretty perfect."

Hm, maybe you're right. I've been looking at pictures of people who bought them, and they do look a little small. I've got some "pain and suffering money" coming to me from having to take summer school biology, so maybe I should just go for it...

Also, is Aradani pretty much the only place to get elf ears, or are there other good companies? Aradani is literally the ONLY place I've found to get ears.

There are some others, but most they get their ears from Aradani and mark them up, or they just make knock offs of the same ears. There's a couple that sell unique ones, but they're typically also imported from European manufacturers.. Aradani is pretty much your best best

I also had a hard time deciding which set of ear to get for my costume. I also thought the 6 inch ears would be too big and settled for the smaller ones. Now I kinda feel like I should have ordered the 6 inch...

Aradani also has an ebay shop, but for the most part, the ears are the same price as if you were to buy them from their store. Aside from them, you won't really find much variety in ears - which isn't to say other sellers don't exist, they're just harder to find and you usually have to partake in bidding wars for them. Just be wary of some of the Scandanivian based ear sellers... they get good reviews, but their ears look an awful lot like Aradani, so I've been kind of suspicious there. But ebay's got it's good share of ear sellers. Feel free to take a look around. :3

Wait, if the skandinavian seller's ears look a lot like Aradani's, and they're a cheaper price, then what's the problem?

Sorry I meant the smaller anime ears. The large anime ears on ebay are $36 plus shipping. No idea why they're more expensive.

The pictures might be stolen and may not be what you'll actually get. Usually, the sellers only have like three or four sells with good "reviews" but the way the reviews look, they may very well be forged type of thing. They seem pretty shady to me, but that's just my opinion.

I prefer the smaller Aradani ears for Agitha, personally.

Personal preference. Honestly I only like the super long ears for certain characters or versions, like OoT Link. I'm even replacing my Vaati ears with the shorter ones. I don't think Agitha's ears are quite long *enough* to warrant the 6" version. They're super slender, too, which might be what throws it off the most. Agitha's ears aren't very skinny, they have some volume to them, so to counter that I say go with the smaller ears.

I'm so glad you feel that way! I like the look of the smaller ears (and the smaller price tag doesn't set me off either) but I was afraid to use them because everyone said to use the big ones. I just think they'll be too big, especially on me. I'm not super short or super skinny, but everyone always says that I just look so small lol
