She has some nice sensible outfits and a nice kitchen (via launch sale) but so long as there's no install type I'm just going to sit and watch for now. (This was fixed.)
p.s. It's great that everyone is now putting expressions on dials - now can we please have a list of what the expressions actually are on the product page? There are THREE new expression sets today (seriously?) and two of them don't say what any of the expressions are. Maybe no one else cares about this but last time I bought some I got a big list of numbered dials which is useless for time saving which is what they're meant to do in the first place.

She has an install type. Three, actually. Must've been fixed shortly after you posted.
Ah great - yeah it wasn't there for the first half hour. Now whether to buy...
I'm not sure how I feel about these new character release sales. To get the best saving you need to buy 3 additional products... which gets you 3 additional products but you still end up spending more. If you want 2 of them the 3rd is only a couple of dollars more at that point though.
Not bad, though not too far off what one could already acheive with Growing Up. On the other hand, more youth clothing that real kids would actually wear. The pro-bundle's a little weaker in this aspect, as the fantasy outfit and pose set seems out of place with the other items. Also interesting that there's no notice concerning a "Buy Julie now, get the new male character for X% off", so I guess that means he's a ways away yet.
I think that means it'll be another "buy bundle with x additional releases for more savings" the same as this one and the past two.
She looks similar to the old Julie to me, but the clothing and the Face It addon combined with her and Growing Up should make for a huge variety of combinations.
Could not install Tween Julie via Daz Connect... she was entirely missing in my Install bin. However, she shows up in DIM.
I like the fantasy outfit. I wonder how it looks on an adult figure. Is it out of place? Sure. But that's the magic of Genesis 3, isn't it? It would be fabulous on Victoria, Mei Lin, etc.
The male counterpart could also have one of those, "Thanks for buying Xyz 7. Here's an extra 10% off the male guy 7" banner ads for select addicts/customers.
...a miss for me as I have the Growing Up morphs for G3F.
Keep in mind I turned V4 into a viable 8 year old.
FaceIt add on is just presets, so nothing you could not do yourself with a bit of dial spinning (assuming you own V7 and the head morphs). It does not appear to be adding any original morphs
I wonder why they did a sliding three-additional-items discount for Tween Julie but only required one additional item for the discount on Kenji. Marketing exercise? Social experiment? Female character > male character?
I'm more inclined to think the cloting represents what adults wish kids would wear, not what they do wear on a regular basis; at least at the older end of the tween range. They look teenagers to me, which is ignoring the 10, 11, and 12. Although I'm still thinking tween is 10 to 12.
The warrior outfit is a negative vibe for me; there are plenty to chose from already.
Cant see my self getting Teen Julie, too expensive. Might have got the pro bundle, without the warrior crap in it.
My only concern, how well will the clothing work if one doesn't own TWJ7?
The five items I'm considering, $45
Anyone know what Candyn looks like as an adult?
Did already someone get the Pro Bundle and knows whether P3D Brita used the standard G3F UV or some Custom UV?
Agree, seriously.
I just might have been tempted with the pro and some extra, but the choice wasn't great. Don't get me wrong, some nice items, but not a great deal of choice in keeping with the Pro release.
Yeh, too much teen and not really a tween.
Oh crap, I forgot about that. I remembered discovering it after I bought the Aiko one and being a bit eh. Then again it'd be timesaving if you wanted to create an uh army of tweens or something?
I wish there was a better selection of release products since we're meant to pick 3. Having half of them be expressions really stuffs things up for both customers and PAs. They aren't the kind of thing you need that many copies of...
I rarely buy presets for characters unless they are very cheap, as they are like poses, simple time savers. Custom morphs and skins are something I can not (easily) do myself.
There is lots to like about the product, but I think the name misrepresents what we get.

States 10 to 12.
http://courseweb.ischool.illinois.edu/~crowley8/506tweens/Tween_Programming/Home.html
States between childhood and the teens, but includes 13 and 14; seriously we're meant to take something written so inacurately (and without qualification) seriously? In between childhood and adolescence; I'm presuming hey know when it starts, although with such a statement, I have my doubts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preadolescence
Ahhh, I like what Wikipedia says. Tween is a marketing term, that says it all really.
... And the word was originally a word to mean in the twenties (for irresponsible hobbits); I'd forgotten about that. I've read The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion many, many times.

The only teenager to answer this question said a tween was under 13. A number thought the clue was in the word: teen means 13 onwards.
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/tween
10 - 12.
I thought it was a mix of twelve and teen - didn't remember the hobbit thing either (and I just realised the really obvious thing... be 'tween ... I'm quick!)
But yes, I'd have said 10-12 too. It's just a new marketing term for it. And yes, I do think it's dumb.
I always thought a Tween was someone between Teenager and Twenty-something...
I thought it meant 'between child and teen', 10-12, a label slapped on them to reflect the idea that they have more in common with teenagers at that age than with under 10s. Somewhere between 'sweet and innocent' and 'know-it-all nightmare' :)
There are only two definitions which make sense, biologically. All the rest are either marketing terms or sociological bubble.
Child = before puberty
Youth = having reached puberty
If I use these definitions, Tween Julie is a youth, not a child. And Tween and teenager are the same stadium, tween being the beginning and teen the end of that phase.
To me, her eyebrows look like chunks are missing out of them.
I have P3D Maria for Genesis 3 Female from Renderosity (product 113249) which is the same exact character, so I guess vendors can sell the same one here and there as long as there's more added to it. I saw that promo and was like, "Wait a minute. I think I have her already...?" So that's one less available to choose from in that group. And I don't intend to spend money on poses or morphs, have enough sets. So probably sitting out on all this.
That's correct. "Tween" is derived from the word "between" -- the process is called (morphological) clipping. The clipped form 'tween was originally used to form new words like the diminutive "tweenie" and the portmanteaus 'tween-teen, 'tween-aged, and 'tween-ager. Eventually "tween" became an independent word. It refers to the period between childhood and adolescence, which is why the age range is so vague. Personally, I've only ever heard it used to refer to ages 10-12 but there might be dialectal and regional variation. It could also be that because we already have the words "child" and "teen", the meaning of "tween" has narrowed over time.

I think you are mixing up a tween and a twink
And that only applies to boys, like Kenji! ;)
Speaking of boys, I can't wait to see the new Tween Boy on the 23rd (I forget his name).
Tween as in "in between".
In between = situated somewhere between two recognized categories
So in between a child and a teen. Teen obviously start at Thirteen.
I've always thought of it as 10-12. Julie looks about 10 to me -at least her face. Her face, to me, looks younger than her body, imo.
It says "Unavailable": https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/p3d-maria-for-genesis-3-female/113249
So maybe if they start selling a product here they have to take it down anywhere else they have it for sale?
Another young girl that looks like a pixie from the fairy world instead of a real life human, what else is new? : D I'm curious about the teen boy though.
From other clues we have seen, the boy is likely to be called Ryan.
Indeed.
Not very "real-world" is she. But you could always stick a pair of wings on her and Bob's you uncle.
Belle and Brodie were also more stylized than real world, but could be made to look more real by mixing is some other morphs. I recall Belle and Brodie's morphs were categorized under the stylized morphs in Parameters, is this the same with Tween Julie?
