OK, I know that 'EVA' stands for 'Extra-Vehicular Activity' (NASA-speak for a spacewalk), but I really want the "A7 EVA Luna Suit" to be a subtle reference to Isabel Allende's novel "Eva Luna". Literary jokes in DAZ product names? I'm here for it.
Speaking of Easter eggs, did anyone notice that one of the promo images for Carrier-01 features a brown-skinned female soldier wearing a bandanna? Fans of classic space monster movies should have no difficulty recognizing the reference (Hint: "Hey -- Vasquez! Have you ever been mistaken for a man?" "No. Have you?") I think I know why the person in the blue jumpsuit isn't looking too good, and it isn't going to end well.
I was sad to see that the X-Fashion Sci-fi Bodysuit comes with the inevitable boob window. Xtrart-3D is a terrific modeler, adding a level of realistic detail to their clothing that you see in only a few other artists. But I wish they could have resisted the temptation to add the dreaded "hey, boys, get an eyeful of my cleavage" cutout to this otherwise very functional-looking bodysuit. And it's practically heart-shaped, making it more appropriate for Valentine's Day than a life-or-death struggle for solar system supremacy. Oh well, at least it doesn't have high heels.
Finally, the Escape Pod looks a lot like an Apollo command module -- but it seems to be a good deal more luxurious inside.

Agreed. As you said, great work otherwise. Could the artist have simply sculpted the suit with a material zone in the "window" that made the feature optional?
Speaking of this particular package, can anyone identify the space backgrounds used in some of the promo images for the X-BIT Pilot Star?
I thought it was a missed chance for both female suits that they don't have high heels.
Let's be honest, are they realistic? No way. Do they look hot? Yes. So heels wouldn't be a problem in my opinion.
If the suits were more bulky, then yes, I'd be totally fine with flat boots, but these suits just cry for heels.
The thing I found odd about the escape pod, was, that there was nothing inside to brace the occupants. No harness, not even some ropes to tie oneself against a flat surface.
The weapons in the rack a couple of promos earlier are also strangely familiar :)
I think the attack robot must have been too similar to something,
its gone
Price of the bundle hasn't changed (yet). DAZ must be considering their options.
The promos still have the old robot
The escape pod from the boy bundle, I think I'd just use it for the interior as a crew cabin. It's shabby and unfancy.
I do like AcharyaPolina's general glossy space fantasy look, however. That interior ties well into their other work (without copying pajama space trek interiors too much). It's a good alternative to Trek if you want to do Trek-like without the Trek baggage.
Well - Crap. I sat on the cart all day and just pulled the trigger only to find that they have pulled one of the items - one of the MAIN reasons I purchased the Battle for the Moon Bundle. Although, I did think it was weird that those last Attack Robot promo images for the droid were NOT of the model offered. That should have been my first clue. DAZ has swapped it out with SC20 Drones and Crates 01 - No offense to FToRi, but this is NOT the drone I was looking for.
Full refund, both on disappointment, and principle. <sigh>
