[No thread on Michael 9. Really?] Was just wondering ;-)

    First Michael I've really liked since Mike 6 (tho 7 wasn't too bad).

    He is not the typical hot white boy! I like him, he seem to have the most realistic expressions so far

    I think he's handsome. smiley

    He is, but boy, he's pricey. LOL I've really gotta think about what I REALLY want and pare out the stuff I can wait for. Bummer.

    Bad time for me to be broke (or maybe good time?  I won't spend what I have left LOL).  THIS would make me jump into G9.

    Looks very good, and the items released with him all look pretty good of their types too. I'm more tempted than I was by Victoria. But I'm more tempted by the new Toons than either.

    Still, I do definitely like the morph. And the promos do a decent job of showing variety.

    He reminds me of someone, maybe the actor who played Poe in the newest Star Wars movies? I'm broke at the moment too. Just bought a bunch of winter clothes for this season. Edit- Yes, Oscar Isaac. That's who I was thinking of.

    Michael 9 is latino? Why not! :) My first impression is that I like him but he falls short of setting me on fire.

    I must admit to liking the looks of him a lot. Pretty much a fan of most of the bundle if I am being honest. 

    Less pretty boy than Michael 8.1 - and a bit older which suits my render style more.

    I like him and I like a lot of what's in the bundles.  Unfortunately the prices are pretty high.  Not sure if I can swing it. Might have to just get a few items for now.

    I noticed on the introduction page, the Action Bundle shows the Dystopian Captains outfit as part of the bundle.  If you go to the Action Bundle sales page the outfit is not listed in the bundle but there is a picture in the promos.

    Going to the sales page for the Dystopian Captains outfit it only shows that it is part of the mega-bundle.  This is going to cause confustion and anger people who buy the Action Bundle thinking the outfit is part of it.

    I'm suprised how long it took for a male Gen 9 figure to come out

    Far too expensive...

    I like the Bloodborne outfits. Shame they're g9 only. Michael 9, eh. He's all right. Wish he didn't look 15 years older than Victoria, but I guess that's just the way of things.

    He actually reminds me of Nevio (Michael 6). I wonder if maybe he's done from the same source photo materials... And I honestly didn't expect to see him for another month.

    Great looking character but not loving the price. I'll have to choose between him and going hungry this month. The price of groceries...

    Oh, this Micheal is a very nice addition to my collection. I still don't get why they mixed the names of the bundles (i.e. Fantasy Bundle with Sci-Fi props), but at this point, I'm convinced that DAZ has no QA at all.

    I surely will render the heck out of him. I just hope that male character creators will avoid baking body hair and beard shadows into the skin. I really like the possibility to move skin between male and female shapes. :D

     he looks like Selenskij?

    Generally like this dude. Bundles content is also nice but way to expensive for my taste although featuring a Stonemason environment, so.
    - Michel 9: on the wishlist you go
    - Michel 9 bundles: pass -  as I already did with the Michael 8.1 bundles

    People were complaining about Michael 8.1 looking "too young." But I guess most buyers like this age difference.

    It's alright to pair up a young girl and an older dude, I find it more... intriguing if that makes sense ?

    Did they really? I hadn't noticed. I thought 8.1 Michael and Victoria looked about the same age, 20-something college students. Ah well. I guess it goes to show I'm very much not the target market.

    Yeah, I remember some users thought Michael 8.1 looked too young

    I never got Victoria 8.1 or Michael 8.1 (even though I liked him), but their skins included with G9 reminded me of Victoria 4 Elite: Lana and Michael 5, respectively.

    Ok, having seen him on a larger screen now, some more thoughts:

    - definitely inspired by Oscar Isaac

    - I like him!

    - But... he could be a G8.1 character. V9 had me kinda-sorta convinced that G9 is indeed a step forward. But every G9 character since then, including M9 here, looks like another G8.1 character.

    - That being said, early G8 characters (V8, M8, Olympia 8, Penny 8, Lucas 8) were actually a bit of a step back compared to later G3 characters (Ophelia 7, Elijah 7) IMO, so perhaps it will just take some time for the full potential of G9 to reveal itself.

    Such a poorly handled release. The first part of the mega bundle is outstanding, but the second.... I don't care for a single item there. Getting just the intro bundle separately is a no go, the price is terrible compared to the mega bundle and you don't get the free m4 - m5 bundles.

    But then I saw the weapons separated from the outfits in the add-on section (which don't even activate the extra 10% like the other new releases in the next section),  so I just stopped bothering to find a combo that works for me and cleared my cart.

    Just not financialy worth it, even if i think he's nice the bundles are when discounted are now more expensive than a full price pro bundle was when i first started, in a time when most people struggle financially this hobby is becoming just too expensive, as for the freebies and discounted items they offer when you buy the new pro bundle, i already own them showing no reward given for those that have been loyal over the years, all in all a very dissapointing release
