She hasn't a thread yet?
Character Bundle, Other bundle, Other-other bundle
I had a few vouchers and tokens to use up, so ended up with the first two bundles above

Yes, it’s strange that no one has written anything about Isabella 9 so far. I like her more robust build and the fact that she looks more ‘normal’ compared to other Daz girls. Even so, I’ve put Isabella on the back burner for now; I simply have far too many white female base figures. I managed to get the rest of the character bundle very cheaply using a voucher and tokens; I had to get dForce Flutterfall Outfit for Genesis 9 from the add-on bundle as well.
I like the idea (as a complement to Bastian 9?) of introducing a fairy-tale theme, although I can’t really relate to it myself.
Of course, I mean it's literally Elle Fanning.
I like the softness of her face and that she's got something of a fifties pin up about her. Very nice hairs in the bundles, dresses (not the armor, geeee ....) also good. But as others said elsewhere, we've had all of this before, in hundreds of variations, The character bundle went on my WL, basically for the hair and for the character morph.
I rather like the character, hair and clothes. The torso part on the armor I find ridiculous, but the rest of the outfit is usable, even the heels are not that bad.
That could well be the case. She looks a lot like her, and the shape of her head and face – which is almost the most important thing when it comes to resemblances – is the same too. I’m not all that interested in Hollywood films and US TV series, so I hadn’t noticed it.
Normally I have issues with the 'shoot me here' neon highlights or cut-outs, here it was a slice/stab me on the side. But I had a set of armor on wishlist for a long time and I took the chance to buy it, https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-heavenly-council-outfit-for-genesis-9 and its texture, https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-heavenly-council-outfit-texture-add-on. That has an underclothing you might possibly use with the other set, or just ignore the new set.
But I like the characters, clothes and love the hairs and those little boots/shoes. I have not had a chance to really look at the XI sets yet. But I have a lot of them.
As it happens I have that set, so it's worth a try.
There were a few comments by some of us in the main sales discussion thread yesterday.
I found some similarities to Snow Queen 9, starting with both being fantasy themed. The characters are about the same height and look a little alike. The alt shapes are similar ages too. SQ has child, teen, and elder, while Isabella has an elder alt shape plus the Premier exclusive is a child. I also thought the face vaguely reminded me of Arianna 8.1, who also has a fantasy bundle.
Still probably going to get a Premier month & pick up Isabella's character bundle, for the other items. I like the add-on bundle too. It's large since it includes the fantasy environment bundle. I can't afford that bundle until next month but I might pick up the fairy gown & wings with a code now.
I do thank-you for solving that!
I really had no use for the character herself and was only going to buy the add-on bundle... mainly for the included castle bundle... but I had this month's Premier Character Bundle coupon that I hadn't used yet, so I ended up buying add-on bundle for $15.14 after all the coupons and tokens were stacked up and then got the character bundle on a seperate invoice for free. All together, that worked out to 12 items at $1.27 each. How does DAZ make any money on that, even after the cost of the Premier Membership is deducted? Darned if I know.
A little incomplete render of Isabella 9 as the torso of an android (how original!):
@Nemesis10 Ah nice homage to a movie performance that I enjoyed quite a lot!
Thank you! That's very kind!
