    First time I have seen a pro bundle with no sweeteners at all. No freebies, and no $10/20 of credit for buying.

  • Very nice.  Too expensive at $59.81, I have a sickly Whippet's vet bills to pay for as well as my Daz addiction.

    Sadly, it's a miss.

    Sorry about the pooch.....doing better, I hope?

    BTW, she comes with a "Body Bulk" slider to slim her down quite a bit.

    would be interesting if you can show some renders of her with diferent levels of this slider to see the diference, maybe it could help me thinking a little more.

    Will do, should take a couple of minutes

    Here they are in 25%-intervals. As mentioned, I don't have the materials yet.

    Also, Babina with 100% Bulk as a comparison.

     I can get the total cart price down to 57.57 by adding the fantasy horns (Freja 8 price down to 53.83 and fantasy horns 3.74 within the cart).

    Admirable sculpting and character development.  Kudos!  Personally, I don't know if I would use Freja 8 as is unless I was doing a pro wrestling project or something similar, but I rarely use characters as is.  I suspect the figure would mix well as a full-body fitness/muscularity morph. 

    Like others, I am waiting to see if there is more to the sale.  Purple banner?  Related bundle?  For the moment, I will pass.

    - NOTE to Mods - there appears to be two Freja 8 threads, perhaps combine them?

    one is in the PC+ forum though

    Great character. Scar 8 is happy for sure. :-)

    A character like this really should have a detailed HD Add-on.

    Just way too expensive, so I'll wait for a better deal.

    Don't need it, but they have the 3 major skin tones, they're all pretty, and the clothes are great.

  • Too manly imo - I'd have preferred a build closer to Zuzka Light, muscled and athletic but feminine.

    Still, it seems a unique morph - I don't recall seeing one quite like it - that adds versatility to G8.

    But as others have said, the introductory cost of the bundle is greater than usual, and it includes fewer items.

    WAY too expensive. No purple banner. Nothing to sweeten the price of the bundle at all. Don't like the hair. Description says "one makeup set, three outfits" which is incorrect. Really like Saiyaness' character. Neither of the characters seem to require Freja, so I'll wishlist the Saiyaness character for later. 

    I DO like Freja herself tho. Figure on own is too expensive for me so wishlisted. 

  • jd641jd641 Posts: 459

    Her body sculpt looks so detailed, I don't think I"ve ever done a warrior type render, but Freja looks awesome enough that I would really want to give it a try if I could afford it. Also, maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but is there an HD add on for her? surprise

    Thanks.  It's a long term thing, he has about a dozen different allergies, digestion problems (OMG the flatulence!), but he's a cheerful little chap.  The cost of his meds and immunotherapy are significant though.

  • Alchemy for fantasy horns is only $1.60 but also brings the price down to $53.83.. So $55.43 total. Bundle Pass from me but do like the character

    Plus I'd really like to know what the hair in her main promo is, the white blonde one with braids.

    I would share my garlic bread with the ripped blacksmith lady with appropriately sized breasts. Freja looks like she could actually break someone or spend a long day at a forge without flagging, and I love it. I also really, really like the Alerune outfit. I have a female blacksmith character that I simply must have both for.

    Big, resounding boo on the bundle. A strong foundation in Freja and the outfits but padded with characters that should be optional, outfit textures that should be optional, hair that isn't what the promos get you excited for, and fighting poses that somehow feel out of place. Smithing poses to match the outfit would have meshed better; maybe Plunder would have gone better in that rogue Viking Battle Bundle and not the one that's built around outfits for a blacksmith and a handmaiden. Eight items, at least three of which should be add-ons, and DAZ tacks a ludicrous enough base price on there that they still want $60 even with the PC+ discount.

    I'll absolutely buy Freja and the outfits individually, when the prices come down. The braided hair, too. This bundle is a hard pass.

    If that's not an oversight, it would certainly explain why I have the complaints about them that I do. They're both lovely, as you'd expect from the PAs involved, but neither seems to build on brick boathouse Freja herself. They seem so out of place in the bundle and that makes them come across as filler, which is deeply unfair to the characters and PAs both. I wouldn't have had that reaction if they were stand-alone releases and not bundle items.

    I wonder if the braided hair is part of that 404'd Viking Battle Bundle? If it's not released yet I hope it will be soon, I really want it.

    Like others I am Really interested in that braided whiteblonde hair!!

    Freya herself I like, unlikely to use her as is but than I do enjoy morphing characters and she looks like she could be great for that! The outfits looks nice and something I can see myself using. 

    The hair that comes with the bundle has me confused... it says it is dForce Fibermesh hair, yet to me it look like the strandbased hair with all that shine and such.

    All in all, the bundle is way too expensive for me. So Freya and the outfits goes onto wishlist. That whiteblonde braided hair.. I sure hope we will find out what it is, and hope even more it will be for sale here in store soon :)

    Eva 8 is their Zuzka.

    Does anyone else get AprilYSH vibes from that white-blonde hair with the braids?? Fingers crossed it's an upcoming release.

    Also on the Freja 8 page it says -

    For additional savings, check out FFreja 8 Viking Maiden Bundle and Viking Battle Bundle.

    The link to the Viking Battle Bundle goes to an oops page.

     

    Edit - yeah the Freja 8 character product is broken. Half the material presets are missing and the only textures in the runtime folder are normal maps. I keep telling myself not to buy things in the morning (UK time) and wait at least until DAZ opens before purchasing but I never learn.

    Serious vibes! I picked up Xelene yesterday and have just been waiting for a good deal on Evelyn. AprilYSH does this kind of style so well, but no matter who made it, I hope we see it for sale soon. Everyone is fixated on it for a good reason!

    Character looks good; bundle is rediculously expensive comparing to others it seems to me.

    Same problem here in Canada, I bought it, installed it, it's not all there, Daz needs to be a little more vigilant about this stuff, who knows when it will get fixed.

    I have to do the same and wait from now on.

  • I was close to buying but then realized there's no HD add-on which is disappointing.

    Holding off on buying now to see whether a HD add-on is released in the coming days or not.

  • Well, that is a repeating pattern. New products seem to have some tendency to be broken or incomplete. I had issues with the Honni 8 bundle. The main character had only one category in Smart Content - Lost And Found. It was fixed two days later with an update. Same with the IGD Just Sit Poses for Genesis 8 Female. First, it was not available for download at all, then half of the product was missing. This was fixed, though I am still missing the product thumbnail in the SmartContent panel. Seems there is a lot of room for improvement on the QA side.

    I'd been eyeballing Xelene for so long! $1.99, PC+ for a day really feels like robbery sometimes, lol. Thinking back on the AprilYSH styles that I own or have wishlisted, I can conclude that I have a long-standing fondness for swept back/braided styles that I never really noticed before, and also that AprilYSH is really, really good at doing them well. They've just got this knack for braids that you don't see too often.

    The bit that throws me about the Mystery White-Blond Hair is that one thing I've always associated with similar AprilYSH styles is very clean hairlines, even with ones like Orson that have some fringe, so the loose bangs up front don't quite jive. Still, definitely the PA my mind went to first, given the gorgeous long, braided, high-crowned styles that they've done!

    Whoever made it, they knocked it clean out of the park.
