I'm really very happy with it. It's made of DF's black/grey husky for the body, and Fabric.com's Arctic Fox for the tip. It's held to a belt with a pair of nylon straps (cut from my bookbag >>;), and has a spine of doubled up 14 gauge wire embedded in an endcap of foam and plastic mesh. It was supposed to give it some stability and swing. However...
I, uh, underestimated its length and therefore weight. It's not super duper heavy when you're holding it in your hand, but it's heavy enough that it stretches the belt/beltloops of whatever it's strung on.
Oh well. Live and learn.
If my sister doesn't want it (as it was made for her suit), I'll probably take out the spine and just sell it. I've already altered my pattern to make tails in a far more reasonable weight/size.
