What's happemning with the Gensis 9 body shapes morphs? The merchant resource shows up in the store for $7K, but the link there to just the normal morphs goes to "page not found". Have they not been released yet?

    That one is for the PAs who will use them as part of their products. The "regular user" version is not available yet.

    PA has to pay 7 grand up front for just the one resorce? Ouch! I wonder how long it takes to break even?

    you would thing the body and head morphs would be released at the same time as the figure.

    That price has to be an error. 20K for the ability to use face and body morphs as merchant resources in products? No thanks.

    To my recollection they have with every release since Vicky 1. I expected to be able to buy the morphs same day the figure dropped. At least I'd have SOMETHING to test out while I wait for products I bought already to be given to me.

    I think it is that much to deter non-PA's from buying it. i'm sure the PA's get MASSIVE discounts.

    I expect that the PA's get a coupon or banner to allow them to download it for free.

    Yes because those are for the vendors, and to keep us from buying the merchant version. We should be getting a version for us regular users

    I'm sure the ones for the end users will be along any day now.

    Where are the G9 morph packages?

    I mean, it's the first thing people buy when a new figure generation comes out, why would you NOT release them alongside your new figure debut?

    I'm not really impressed by the fact that the bend morphs have not been improved, looks like we'll have to wait until K.H.Image studio comes out with a G9 version of their anatomically correct bend morphs!

    But on a positive note, kudos for having backwards-compatible clothing and hair!

    So, if you are an aspiring PA you have to pay $10K to get the tools you need.  Makes it almost impossible to ever become a PA.

    as Richard H. posted in the sales thread, those morps are expected to be available next week.

    The merchant resource version of the morphs allows you to bake the morphs you used as part of your own morph.
    If you don’t have the merchant resource version you can still create a character which requires the morph pack (with a master dial which sets the required morph's value), as was done for earlier figures.

    Yeah, the price you see for the merchant resources isn't what PAs pay.

    For us, we have to actually pay 10x that, for the honor of working for Daz.

     

    at night they loosen the shackles

    Whom ever got to set the price for those PA resources was very lenient.

    I would have set them to around $30-$40 Million. Each. +VAT and Taxes of course.

    Can't just GIVE them away.

    Yes, and meanwhile more and more characters are being introduced in the store, while we wait for just the simple basics of head and body morphs.

    I really do not understand why characters for G9 are released but not the Head and Body Morphs, that makes no sense to me.

    It makes no sense to anyone, because Daz won't offer any explanations for the bizzaro way this product was released.

    It'd be a minor issue if not for releasing products that require morph packages before releasing said morph packages.

    I'm confused about this, because I thought the point of the morphs being merchant resources was that PAs could bake them into the figure shape vs. using them as part of the shaping preset. I didn't even see them listed as a requirement on the product pages, which has always been the case with characters that use Daz head and body morphs for shaping (like Saiyaness's lineup).

    They can only be listed as required when/if they are existing in the store ...

    Yes, the MR is available for PAs who want to bake the morphs, but not all PAs do that.  Saiyaness is one and Vyktohria is another.  There could have been a line added to the product description stating that the morphs packs were required, but things appear to be a bit chaotic right now, and that didn't happen.

    Daz soon, but not today, so far
