    I hope we see more Ivan content. Too often when there is a male release he is sort of a flash in the pan and no further content gets made. I hope we see additional poses and hairstyles before going back to the all female show.

    I think we still have a young teen duo confirmed, younger than Josie so 12-15 I think. Who knows what Daz plans next : ) Kimo and Kalea really surprised me.

    The other nice thing about no body hair is that it's not terribly hard to add body hair via decal, if you aren't into going the fiber mesh route. I don't know of any such products off the top of my head, but I think there are at least a few, though they may rely on LIE.

     40? really? i'm 44 and i'm not "ruined" in skin and shape face like Ivan is...Ivan is close to 65 ( reminds me the mature Sly Stallone look ) instead 40ish !  Ageism is so badly this days!

    Btw I think Ivan is the Gen 3 version of "Boris G2"...i like the Ivan mature face shape, is great 'cause is so life like, but I don't like the body, but adding others G3 dial morph It could become like Boris body shape or the Swole iconic shape.

    Ivan's upper torso is a bit chunky for me too, but as others have said, it takes no time at all to spin the body dial down. Here he is with his body dialled down to 30% - everything else about him is left the same. The hair is as it comes as well, but the mobster shirt and tie were given the once-over with ParrotDolphin shaders as I believe he's from that era where men were tough enough to tangle with the terrifying world of polyester but could never summon the energy to escape it after. I don't think he's freaky at all - he could be anybody's boss, neighbour, father etc, and I'm really pleased that I bought him.

    Sunny and Lucien for July, I'd guess. But I'm obviously just an end user here. No inside info at all. 

    Whenever they come out I'd practically guarantee that Sunny will be same-old, same-old, but we were told to expect to be surprised by both Ivan and Lucien.

    We could certainly do with an aged *female* base character. I don't think DAZ has ever given us one of those.

    Great looking render you have there Astra! The gangster grandpa : D : )

    Jodel I completely forgot about Sunny and Lucien! I wonder what the theme is. The names don't say much.

    Still waiting for Native American, Arabic, and Indian couples!

    I'm kinda hopeful now that we got polynesian couple : )

    Monique and Darius will arrive sooner or later so I think these two are pretty much confirmed.

    I would like to see a Grampa/Grandma type bundle with farmer type clothes or sunday going to church outfit, wireframe spectacles, old type nightshirts, a set from way back in the 30's or 40's.  I think it would make a great mini bundle with both morphs and a couple full outfits for each and a couple older type hairstyles for each.

  • JOdelJOdel Posts: 6,306

    Well, 'Lucien' could be pretty much any number of things that would be interesting, but 'Sunny' really sounds like yet another boring pretty white 20-something. NOT a name which inspires much of anything favorable.

  • ToyenToyen Posts: 2,029

    I just hope that Sunny and Lucien aren't two teens.

  • ANGELREAPER1972ANGELREAPER1972 Posts: 4,555

    heaven and hell characters? been a few shows of late featuring the devil or variations of such as Damien, Lucifer and the like as well as other Supernatural type shows with vamps, werewolves extra including Supernatural and Lucien could be a variation and Sunny well angelic type character real yin and yang type of couple

  • ToyenToyen Posts: 2,029

    Wow that sounds like an interesting theme! Sunny = angel, Lucien = demon : )

    I, for one, am more than thrilled that Ivan isn't another pretty boy for G3M.  I haven't bought but two of the G3M males, I just don't like them (don't get me wrong, they are beautifully made, just not my type of guy) but Ivan is going to the top of my wishlist.  Can't do it today but hopefully he will still be on sale with the Rune discount on Friday....

    yeah it just sounds right to me and lot of content does seem to get inspired by what is popular film, tv or game at the time for example recently Warcraft movie and lately there have been a lot of supernatural themed tv and movies ok been a few years but lately been a lot of them and it inspires creators we've had Star Wars, Mad Max, Warhammer/Lord of the Rings, various super heroes, spy movies so a heaven and hell themed couple is possible of course I'd like it and maybe creature creator 3 would come out soon after. huh wouldn't be good if seeing as they're doing couples sort of female than male wouldn't it be cool if sometime soon they did a new  cats and dogs probundles

    We have been told there are no male teens planned, so this seems highly unlikely. I have no idea what theme Sunny/Lucien could be. As well as Tween Julie + companion, don't forget we have been told Aiko + unnamed companion are due, and I suspect a Lilth 7 will arrive (and Lucien could be her companion). Often the names of male/female pairs start with the same letter (Gia/Gianni, Kalea/Kimo), but this is not always the case.

    should have at least a week to cash in that rune discount on ivan, ice dragon funny thing is there was no notification today saying anything about it and in others when they did this there was when the product you was getting the bonus for was released we'd get some reconfirmation that we had it either being displayed as a banner or in our messages at least I didn't see anything but when I did the test just putting ivan pro in the cart about $10 was knocked off then more when added bones and the hall really liked look of both of those the hall looks just so much to have and use and bones looked cool oh I'm a pc member too so there's those discounts too

    Excellent. He looks great. This is how I think Ivan should have been sold. He could still be muscular but should be proportionate. His face has alot of character in it, id definetely cast him in a western!

    I suspect Lucian is either manga or vamp.

    Besides the skin quality, fabulous by the way, I love the attention to detail on the clothing.  I thought Mec4 had her hands in all this from the looks of it all but nope.  Just wonderful.  I don't buy allot of DAZ characters these days but this Pro Pack went into my cart.  I have to say I'm not thrilled with the two hair props.  The one looks like puffy tufts  and the other... not sure what to think of the sides blending into the back around the ear, like a really bad haircut.  Sorry, from a hairdressers perspective neither will be used.  I wish we could build our own Pro Packs, I'd trade those out for a couple of other options.... in a heart beat.

    The Thomas Hair has to be a nod to Tom Jones, I can see this guy crooning "Its not Unusual"

    The Rune discount will last as long as the Ivan promo, but we didn't get a fixed date - but for new characters it is usually about a week from release.

    I just got a store message saying the discount for Rune 7 will last till June 27th.

  • BeeMKayBeeMKay Posts: 7,019

    This was instabuy, even though I'm mostly using G2M. The skin and head is fantastic, and I can't wait for the HD for this character.

    The body is very usable if you dial it down and mix it with other body shapes.

    A big thank you to DAZ and most of all the PAs for a great character, and great items in the bundles. heart

    Great thank you!  I did see the banner this evening pop up so and it said until the 27th of June.

    Hmm. One thing that is odd to me is neither hair comes with a gray hair color. Are these hairs really made for this character? The poses seem made for Lee, but surely a man this age should have some silver hair options. I'm beginning to wonder if the content in this set is cobbled together from other packs.

    They both have high hairlines, but you're right in that there should have been some silver options.  Although I like his look a lot, at this point I'm on the fence post and waiting to see if any more "Warrior King" items get posted before I make a decision about buying now or waiting.

    someone said 40 ? this character is above 55 of age at last 

    btw I did not made the release but preparing stuff for Ivan , another veteran so he don't hung out with granddaughters only , just with my own morphs for the head and body , kinda freak style 

    you don;t need Ivan to use the morphs but for the skin you need Ivan base textures 

    his name is Chad .. Ivan's skin with custom morphs and material settings

    I like the way his head looks, but his body looks almost toonish to me. A more realistic body would have been appreciated.

    We haven't seen Ivan 7 HD yet wink
