    While I do see a bit of Jason Momoa I see more Chris Hemsworth, about a 70/30 fusion.

    Elios himself isn't wowing me - except for the images that look a lot like Jason Momoa - but I like Cormac a lot and find Zeno interesting.  Then again, they had me at the dForce Adventurer Knight outfit.  I was frantically hitting the "Add to Cart" button as soon as I saw the coat.  There's definitely enough stuff in the bundle to make it worth my while.

     I wasn't a big fan of the straight cut between horse and human with Centaur 7. 

    Did you see RawArt's Regan and Rogan centaurs?  They have a much more natural centaur look IMO.  (I might not have picked up the centaur packs without them.)  If they did a satyr the same way, I'd be thrilled.

    BTW:  Does anyone know what hair(s) Cormac is wearing in the main promo and promos 1, 5, 7 and 9?  It's not in the credits and I really like how it looks on him.  Thanks.

    It's $19.58 for the HD add on which isn't included in the pro bundle. I can use the outfits that are add ons and not included in the bundle. Sometimes these bundles were made for you, sometimes they're made for someone else. Looks to be a winner but I can't justify the cost the way this one is packaged for my needs.

    The hairs in the promos are SAV Aram and SAV Ades, both from Renderosity, and with Iray shaders applied. HTH

     his deal is not very inspiring.

    Not very inspiring, maybe. But combined with the June bonus coupon if you get it, that $40 of items free goes a really long way...

    Didn't get the June coupon or the loyalty buyer's banner this time (even though I have a majority of the pro bundles and most of them the guy's sets) probably since I didn't buy the last bundle. Which sucks, as someone who has been out of work due to an injury since October, every little bit helps!

    I also see a mix of Momoa and Hemsworth. I've always gotten a greater resemblance with Jason Momoa from Makani for Kimo 7, who I think looks goregous!

    I think I might get Elios. Just have decide whether to get his base only or the Pro Bundle.

  • OdaaOdaa Posts: 1,548

    I like both Jason Mamoa and Dante 7, so I like this guy, but I'm not looking forward to the adjust rigging/freeze erc stuff that would go into back-converting him. The brows, although not as bad as Dante's, are not a good thing. On the plus side, the bundled character and outfit that I really like are in the Starter Bundle, and I could easily build an "alternate starter bundle" of him and the two addon outfits I like, along with their texture sets. Have to think on whether to pull the trigger.

    Does anyone know what hair props are in the Cormac images (besides captains hair? The long and curly and the shorter curly look awesome, but I cannot tell what they are?

  • Very awesome character for the G8 male however, I pass as well.

    I love everything with this release.

    I like him allot.  He does look ALLOT like Jason.  I have a feeling that's why his eyebrows are so perfect looking.  Jason's are nicely "plucked" looking in MOST photos of him.  Oh and by the the way, if your wondering about Jason's eyebrow scar.. I had to Google that... https://hellogiggles.com/reviews-coverage/khal-drogo-jason-momoa-eyebrow-scar/

    I might just get the pro pack this time around.  The Drago hair and beard set by Lady Littlefox is just gorgeous! 

  • RAMWolffRAMWolff Posts: 10,352

    By the way, anyone know if that hammer comes with the Convergence Outfit?  It's featured in quite a few of the promos but there is no mention in in the included list.

    I like this character. Don’t really see a use for everything in the pro bundle but may get it anyway depending on the various ways the promotion can be leveraged.  Sometimes just cherry picking what I want costs more than the bundle promotional prices.  

    I really wish DAZ3D would just set item number parameters and let us select from a variety of new items on figure releases.  Basically have two tiers of items to select from.  It’s tier is the Bundle builder selection.  The second would be the add-ons.

    Thank you.  Seems I own a copy of that!  LMAO .  I swear, I just can't keep up!  cheeky

    I'm on the fence about him.

    I think it's the eyebrows. So...does anyone know which eyebrows are used in https://www.daz3d.com/drago-hair-and-beard-with-dforce-for-genesis-3-and-genesis-8-males ? They appear much more natural.

    Not only did I see them, I grabbed them and wrestled them into my shopping cart. I love those two a lot, as they were made more like believable centaurs. I haven't used them for a while but I believe it was quite difficult to morph their heads and faces in order to create more original characters. That would be my only gripe, but if they did, hypothetically, make a Centaur 9, then I hope they would look at Rogan and Regan for ideas.

    hmmm ... pass

  • alienareaalienarea Posts: 536

    Ercole for Elios looks like Alziir for Nix. Both are by Emrys. 

  • IvyIvy Posts: 7,165

    I didn't have the budget for the pro set, I would have liked to have got it but its just not in the cards for me at this time.    But did pick up Drago Hair and Beard I do like that its deforce. and it should be useful for a lot of diffrent characters,

  • JOdelJOdel Posts: 6,322

    Well, now I'm hoping that Elithia also comes with a nice collection of Classical-themed gear. I love the Helenic outfit for G3F, but that one has never worked for me, even on G3F, let alone anything with any degree of morphing.

    The add-on Toga outfit (which is a tunic, not a toga) is particularly welcome. Can be repurposed for a lot of periods.

  • arne207arne207 Posts: 161

    I wonder: Is this Olympias long-lost male counterpart, or will a similarly-themed female join the lineup in two weeks?

    I Like Ellios, bit of a Thor / Aquaman inspirered figure (depending if your a DCU or MCU fan ;) )

    Not to impressed with the extras though. I dont do a whole lot of fantasy/comic stuff so the extras are not for me. I do like the character though.

    Prefer Marvel and Thor, but he screamed Aquaman.

    Is it me or does Elios 8 look very similar to Christian 8? https://www.daz3d.com/christian-8

    Ercole looks like Luke, Bruno, Karl, Hudson, Alziir, Walker and Hudson...which is why I didn't buy him.

    I like the look of the figure, and the pro bundle has things that I can use, but I'm hovering over the "Proceed to Checkout" button because I am extremely underwhelmed with the after-bundle offers.  Even buying 4 add-ons raises the price considerably if you want the HD add-on as one of those.  The $70 of free selected items is becoming more and more of a pain every time they do it - I am tired of trawling through the same old content time and time again, desperately trying to find something that I might one day use.  As has been mentioned many times before, Daz always seem to give better offers with the female characters.

    Nice character, but I'm going to have to sleep on this one.  Maybe I'll just get the base figure for now and forget about the "incentives".
