    Looks like a wrestling outfit :-)

    I personally do not like clothes that look like body paintings. Especially the "under breast" region looks unnatural. Seems like it is glued on her. Unfortunately you can find this unnatural look in on many many outfits.

    To be honest, I thought "Vampirella in a skort!" It's not, really, but that was my first reaction.

    I kinda laughed, and shook my head. I got the dress, but I wonder if you could put both of them in a cart at the same time, and what the coupon would do...

    Major disappointment... I was hoping it would be the archer outfit from the Carrara 8.5 promo/box cover (,_,)...

    Good Lord. And then that is really quite rude. How exactly is that any way comparable to a pro bundle.

    Time-value decay. A pro bundle is worth the most at release time, as it's all new. Time decay decreases the value comparatively, especially as generations change.

    However pricing is problematic; it's got a set 'in store' price, and it's not something they pretty much ever actually reduce. So instead it becomes more and more available for store sales, and as an add-in for other rewards.

    You really just can't compare the value of a Pro Bundle 6-12 months after release vs. the value AT release time.

    But even the starter bundles give you a base a hair and a couple of outfits and a character the Fantasy fighter gives you a pair of fingerless gloves and a body suit, The dress at least gives you a pair of shoes, the are both on sale for under $10 whereas the bundles are even if reduced to over 70% nearly twice the price.
    This is one of the reasons I've stopped buying the bundles when they are released. To me its obvious that Daz don't really value them or the customers who have supported them in the past.

    My friend, I have to disagree.

    I was wowed.

    I was very wowed.

    I thought: WOW, that's probably the worst value for money I've seen in quite some time. Probably about a dollar per polygon!

    Well, that was my first reaction. Any other questions I can help you with?

    Borat's sister came to mind when I saw the outfit. I don't think I'm being negative or critical, that was just my first thought.

    No idea why, but I thought of a mankini. lol

    Probably would've worked as a decent one too for people who've been wanting one had it been for Genesis and not G2F (that is if you can deal with the crossed straps).

    That it is skimpwear I don't mind so much, since I assumed it would be anyway. And the female kickboxer/whatever sport look I can deal with.

    What really turns me off is how cheaply it was made, specifically the lack of corrective morphs for the breasts. Even the promos look fake and awful with the severe breast cling, that no outfit like that would follow in real life (at least, not without lots of double-sided tape). However, since none of the other rewards for week two were useful to me (20% off is a joke, and I already had the other freebie items), I still ended up picking it up. While it's probably a pipe dream to think that DAZ will be shamed into updating the product to include proper corrective morphs, one can but hope...

    These banged up, no-morph products are why I basically ignore a LOT of the stuff from a handful of vendors that are notorious for them, and for which DAZ seems to purchase a lot of stuff from for DAZ Originals.

    This...is going to inflame some folks, but...wow. It's...it's not that bad.

    On a guy.

    p.s. Maybe it's really built for G2M, but they wanted to release it early! ;)

    Well Morgan, has to say it looks better on a guy than on a female atleast (in my opinion that is) :) interesting picture *teases*

    Greetings,
    Hah! Seriously! I'm a little shocked; for once a Michael Initiative outfit looks significantly BETTER on the guy than on a woman. He looks like something out of a Tom of Finland collection...

    Well, folks were complaining about a lack of male skimpwear. ;)

    Okay, maybe 'complaining' isn't the right word...

    Seeing this thing I was double, no, triple happy I got the Stephanie 5 bundle.
    Morgan, really - this Fantasy Fighter makes a nice men's wrestling outfit. :lol: Good render anyway.

    Hah! You and the 'family friendly' thing... :)

    Offered for comparison, the mini dress... It doesn't work anywhere near as well, although the ruffles look somewhat like he's torn the sleeves off, which is cool...

    You know, if you retexture the top of that mini-dress, it actually looks like a man's warrior harness. o_O

    That was my reaction as well. Or more like, "Can clothes actually DO that?". It's magic... hence the 'Fantasy' moniker.

    I wasn't thrilled about the dress either, although it does seem like a nice outfit and it looks like you get some other stuff with it. Luckily I realized I didn't have the Aiko PRO bundle (only the starter bundle) So I got some nice extra stuff from that. Better than an impossible outfit anyway.

    P.S. Michael 6 is missing out on all of this cross dressing. I'm sure he's disappointed.

    My hopes for an authentic Red Sonja outfit have been thoroughly dashed (boo hoo etc etc)

    I have all the stuff in the pro bundles already, so it's a choice between a dress with zero movement morphs or skimpwear that defies the laws of physics (a simple strap around the base of the bustline would at least explain ability to hug the undercurve).

    ...but it's the mankini concept that'll actually get some mileage with me - maybe my conqueror needs a uniform in which to dress his harem eunuchs - time to 'man up' and make a decision %-P

    Actually looking at the white and the material Zones image the fantasy fighter thing does have some odd looking curved bits, I presume bones, under the breasts to explain the unnatural appearance. These if they are stiff plastic would be way uncomfortable, makes me think of when the wire works its way out of a wired bra and with every move you get a sharp poke in the boob.
    But I do love the way it looks on the guys.

    Aside from being super impractical as an outfit, eh. Though, this gave me a laugh for some reason:

    Give your girls this sexy outfit and let the beat downs being.
