    I was hoping it would too :( I really like that outfit so it'll be an insta buy when it comes out...er, so long as I have the money at the time of course. LOL. Here's hoping!

    I had thought you'd indicated it was hopefully to be part of the bundle... Well, it could come in as a PC item. :) Or one of their two-week-later 'Extra Pack' bundles, which they sometimes do, or the next (tomorrow?) wave of A6 items.

    But yes, I was also sad to not see it as part of the bundle!

    Like everything in the Pro Bundle. The characters are stunning, the hair is perfect. Clothes are fun and useful. Also picking up Lotus Flower and Fab Faces. In the cart, waiting impatiently for Thursday (payday). Probably will pick up others by then.

    It would have nice to see it in a bundle, but even nicer to see it in the store - maybe tomorrow? ;)

    I was hoping for it to be in the bundle too, it looks awesome and would go great with the Asian props and characters.

    I'm sad too. :down: Because it's also nowhere in the store! I can't afford the bundle anyhow so I was hoping for this outfit. I love it!
    So now I'm keeping my money a bit longer and wait for it to show.

    Love, Jeanne :)

    I too, am sad :( . I am seriously considering not purchasing the pro bundle because it was not included. I will sit on the fence a little longer in hopes that it was some sort of mistake and it indeed should have been included. I feel that if it was not intended to be included they should not have shown it with the Asian props promo images. It's a great product! I'm sure it will look just as good on Giselle. :)

    Relatively disappointed about Aiko6 and the content of pro bundle.
    Aiko6 is not really a manga or anime character but more a mixture of giselle, teen josie and a slightly Asian touch to the face.
    The face and the texture of the Riven's character looks like Dani (young teen Josie) and Norma (Victoria 6)
    Lotus is a simple refit of Generation 4 version
    True fans of Manga / Anime not find anything special in this Bundle, sorry !

    It wasn't showing her with any % now it shows in the store 51% off but no discount in the cart yet, at least it is showing me $61.23 & I get the extra 50% off so with the 30% Off would be 80% off $124.95 = 24.99 If I did it right. :)

    No, take 50% off 61.23 for 30.61. It's not much off a difference though. It's a good price, and I like everything in the in the bundle. It"s a definite buy.

    Thank you riftwitch, never can get it right, but like you said it is a Good buy, can't pass it up. :)

    Where is the extra 50% off coming from? Sorry not as active lately.

    If you got all the punches in the countdown to summer sale you get an 50%, you got different % off depending on how many punches you got.

    Sorry, but it's not just a simple re-fit, and to make that assumption is just ludicrous. The mesh has been altered from the Aiko 4 version. Things have been added, things removed and textures reworked to a higher resolution for extra clarity. The character is completely made again from scratch, as the UVs aren't even the same, neither is the base skin. The original was V4's UVs. This has been updated to Genesis 2 Base Female UV. So every eye, make-up and option had to be reworked from scratch.

    This is just to clarify to customers that think that this product was a quick 're-vamp' It was not. It took a lot of time and work to convert over, and frankly I find your assumption very insulting!

    What are the requirements for Fab Faces for Aiko 6? The page is messed up on me and keeps showing male morphs for Genesis 1 not Genesis 2. I want to make sure I have the right stuff for it before getting it.

    I was wondering if there will be an Aiko 6 version of the Lotus Flower Add-on? I'm guessing that the textures won't work on the new version of Lotus Flower, with all the changes you made to it.

    I love the promos for this. It's in my cart; just need to finish shopping before I buy.

    The add-on pack stuff is all bundled together in the Aiko 6 version as one product. (see the make-up, eye and head dress options, the lace optoins, funky eye options and dark geisha options are all from the add-on pack). I just decided to release it as one big pack this time around instead of faffing around with bundles and add-ons. :)

    So far, there is no thread for Aiko 6, so I took the plunge and wanted to say thanks to the PAs.

    Considering I'm not into manga and anime, I find it positively surprising to stumble upon quite a few products I like.

    Firstly, there go hairdos. Hikari Hair is simply cute and very versatile (considering it is DAZ Original we can hope for some nice sales at some point!): http://www.daz3d.com/hikari-hair - just see that promo:

    http://www.daz3d.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/d/a/daz3d-pop-up04_hikari-hair_.jpg

    Or Janna Hair - another DO with several fine morphs, a versatile model with energetic textures: http://www.daz3d.com/janna-hair-for-genesis-2-female-s-and-victoria-4 - my favourite promo:

    http://www.daz3d.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/_/d/_daz3d-product-page_janna_hair_.jpg

    Lyric Hair (http://www.daz3d.com/lyric-hair) is rather stylised, but still flexible enough, pretty much like Amarseda for the next two generations:

    http://www.daz3d.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/0/2/02-lyric-hair-daz3d.jpg

    Miwa Hair (http://www.daz3d.com/miwa-anime-hair-for-genesis-2-female-s), a DO by Goldtassel, is one-of-a-kind. An incredibly fresh look giving a new flair to pony hairdos! The textures are the kind of messy and realistic. I love the morph and the mischievous expression from this promo:

    http://www.daz3d.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/_/d/_daz3d-product-page_miwa-anime-hair_.jpg

    There is also a character that's quite a refreshing one - Lotus for A6 (http://www.daz3d.com/lotus). I admit I had to look the second time at her, because I thought it's the clothing set! Fortunately, it was the morph, the eyes are really, really nice:

    http://www.daz3d.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/d/a/daz3d-pop-up08_lotus_.jpg

    Riven for A6 (http://www.daz3d.com/riven) is a decent ethnic set with a truly Asian flair:

    http://www.daz3d.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/0/3/03-riven-daz3d.jpg

    Good job, although I'd appreciate more promos. The last one gives her justice.

    And there is one clothing set that appealed to me: Bow Skirt (http://www.daz3d.com/bow-skirt-for-genesis-2-female-s). I nice bomb-like dress, the only thing that's not skimpy. My congrats to Cute3D for going against the current and making something cute, but not oversexualised. I like the look of Bow Skirt here, it really fits A6:

    http://www.daz3d.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/d/a/daz3d-pop-up01_bowskirtgenesis2females__1.jpg

    I admit the other clothes were a huge miss with me. More savings for me :P. A6 base (http://www.daz3d.com/aiko-6) has a nice face, even though G6 is very similar. And the limbs are overexaggerated. I guess the anime style went a bit too far with them. To generalise, it is a surprisingly fine release - I didn't expect to see so many things that appeal to me. Good job, PAs!

    Thanks, Aiko is and always was one of my favorite figures so bought the pro bundle (and most other A6 stuff) this morning.

    Made a quick test render just before i had to go to work. Definitly not disappointed and really like her.

    Great work DAZ and the PA's

    Oh, thank you, Jared. That explains I was suddenly transferred into this thread.

    But I WAS THE FIRST TO GREET A6!!! :coolgrin:

    Is there some activity award for that? Or a title like "Quicker Than Jared"? :P

    * * *

    Now, let's reply to some of the posts...

    @Fisty: the cheongsam is the best outfit I've seen for A6 so far. It's also great on its own with any Gen2F character (perhaps even with Gen2M!). I want it!!!

    @Sickleyield: the second and the third promo look very fine. The bonus swimsuit is lovely as well. I look foreard to seeing it hit the shop.

    This is our product: Moshi Moshi is a pack of expressions organized in three folders (FullFace, UpperFace, and LowerFace) for Aiko 6.
    With them, you can apply an expression that moves all the face, or partial expressions that move only the upper or lower parts of the face.

    I adore your expressions, so if I manage, I'll swallow them. Good job.

    TOA Ryder

    TOA?! Tales of Adventure?!

    Gosh, I love that line! This is a must-have!!! The short pareo and the rest... Yummy.

    I was hoping it would too :( I really like that outfit so it'll be an insta buy when it comes out...er, so long as I have the money at the time of course. LOL. Here's hoping!

    My poor Fisty, don't worry! I think it actually shows that DAZ is sure the set will be a blockbuster with lots of customers, so they don't want to introduce "too big" savings, because they are certain people will buy it with the discount or without it. I agree, although there really should be a bundle where you wouldn't have to return several items because you can't use them for the kind of stuff you do :P.

    Xiao Mei by Sabby and myself

    Very pretty. I like her much more than Lin (she's too Wachiwi-like for me, but still nice, although in order to afford Xiao-Mei - hopefully - I'll have to pass that one). She's the porcelain doll type. There is a huge demand for such morphs. I'd love to see her mixed with Sickleyield's Ball-Joint Doll for Gen2F. Can somebody who has both items make some renders like that please?

    would love to see a Sylfie for Aiko6 :)

    That could possibly be arranged ;) Meanwhile, here is Karynna for Aiko 6 by Thorne

    Gosh, Thorne, why are you doing this to me - and my poor wallet?! :P

    This is fantastic. Excellent. Top-notch! I want her, I want her, I want her!!!

    Although I hope you're not abandoning Genesis. They are easier to mix. I got myself Gen2X to transfer your Generation 4 morphs onto Genesis and then onto Gen2F as needs require. And I hope to see you in this year's Christmas giveaway! :P

    Really like all of this, base seems to be a good balance

    Sickle's morphs are the instabuy.

    Now we only need Hiro 6 to be good match for this. Really hope that he will be tall and slender bishounen like he is supposed to be. And that he will come soon, because we got SEVEN G2F now and only three males to match. pretty unfair...

    I second that! Although it looks like somebody's quicker:

    G2Male
    Head Aiko 6 77% , M6 30%

    Yes, Adorable Aiko 6 is out tomorrow. ;)...and this is why I keep some powder dry for the 'Oh, and one more thing...' day. :)

    On an entirely different note, I want to call something out.

    A long time ago, there was a thread about what folks like and don't like in bundles/pro-packs, what-have-you. One of the things that was brought up was that it would be awesome for theme-appropriate props/environments to be included in the Pro pack.

    I think that huge...wait for it...props are due to DAZ for the Asian Prop Set and listening to the feedback. It's thematically appropriate, and it is the first time that I can recall a prop set coming with a character bundle.

    Thanks muchly!

    If you got all the punches in the countdown to summer sale you get an 50%, you got different % off depending on how many punches you got.

    Ahh ok. Thanks!

    I'm still confused on this one. The top banner says I get 30% Intro Bonus + 32% punch discount. So that should be 62%, right? But the actual product pages for the bundles says 51%, same when I put it in the cart.
