:) Well, I like him, a lot, and will be snagging him as soon as he becomes available.... which I guess will be at midnight DAZ-time. Between Vladimir and the Brute we're finally getting some serious testosterone in the G8M gene pool.
Honestly, kind of done with viking warriors conan thing. I hope that he has some regular clothing.
He's handsome. Can't wait to see what else is in his bundle.
I think he looks a lot like Owen, only an older, burlier version. I'll have to think about this one.

He sort of sits between Ivan, Brute and the Giannis. Older than Brute and the Giannis (any generation), but not quite as old as Ivan. (That is not young skin on his torso, though; I'm kind of impressed.)
I wonder if getting two musclemen in a row might mean that Gianni is missing out this generation. That was his slot, more or less. Granting that he's not ripped, but still.
I do suspect that getting an older Russian-named character likely means that Ivan doesn't appear this generation. Between Edward and Vladimir, older realistic guys seem to be covered.
It's Owen's burly big older brother! Or maybe his father! Probably his brother; I don't think he looks quite old enough for the other.
Vladimir 8 is an insta-buy for me. Can't wait!!!
Depending on what's in the bundle since I was eventually planning on buying the Edward 8 Pro Bundle this might be a better replacement for my story-telling interests although not likely. I see no Bela Lugusi style Dracula clothing or similar clothing for the other Halloween clowns that come to our doors every year..
Well, looks like my Nosferatu prediction was a tad... off. Tell you the truth, I'm kinda glad. Vamps are pretty overdone.
Obviously, vikings had great dental hygiene and never had to worry about male pattern baldness
Reminds me of a very popular viking. :)
I love him and everything in the bundle, insta buy for me. :)

Love the character and his outfits. Wishlisted!
Thank you Daz for listening (or maybe this was what you were going to do anyway). I guess Vladimir is our new Ivan, and I'm glad to have another type for G8M. His skin looks like it's almost on the level of Floyd, which is my favourite G8M skin. Redz' Ryker looks great! Looking forward to Lee 8 and an upscale hipster along with a Latino and/or Arab to round out the list.
The free items are not all showing up as free in my cart, though. (Yes, I only have 10).
While the primary discount isn't as high with this bundle, the 10 free items and all the amazing add-on deals are just outstanding! So many great environments for $1.59 each!? Whoa!
I am surprised he is portraid more as a viking then a russian enforcer with vladimir being a russian name. That being said however i do like him a lot.
Vladimir 8 - Out of the box
I think his skin looks great. :)
I can see this guy being able to fill a lot of different roles.
I'm only fan of Ryker

Ryker comes with fibermesh body hair!? Awesome! Thank You, Redz!! <3

I like him, too! Vladimir 8 is an impressive figure, but he looks too much like M8.
No interest in the character, but I wanted the skull-scar and 10 free incredible items (as opposed to OLD V3-era items and textures) and as Diva said A nice selection, all @ $1.59 is too good a deal to pass up.
Plus, THIS bundle may lead to discounts in some other sale. So PRO bundles make sense in a few different ways.....
MRL Buzz Cut Hair looks great, but it is Iray only. Meanwhile I am quite good at converting Iray to 3DL, but I don't know if this is possible with fibermesh hair; never tried it...
Didn't want the bundle, so I got Ryker, Ward and Peter. Ryker and Peter are quite good. As for Ward? He's getting returned. There's no hairless options which I prefer, but his body hair finishes at his navel and he only has normal map for his face and eyes.
I really can’t use all the medieval Viking clothing. It is well done just outside my area of rendering. I also already have a similar Viking hair we had released a while ago in the pc club.... I’m kinda disappointed just because usually bundles have more variety.
And the ten free items is not so sweet a deal.... I went through it all and only wanted 2 things. I must’ve bought the good releases and there is a lot of runtimes dna and older stuff I can’t use. I would’ve preferred pro bundles.
How come the HD add-on is not included anymore!
I don't do much with the guys at all, but those 10 free items were a bit hard to pass up - spent money I shouldn't have LOL. I always like to see how products that were made for the males, would do on the females - a lot more versatility for my money, when they do. So excuse me posting a girl image here in the Vlad thread, but for anyone else like me, it may help sway their mind in purchasing, if they know they can use stuff on the girls, not just the guys.
Mihrelle's MRL Buzz Cut Hair, Stubble and Scars for Genesis 8 and Genesis 3 Male works pretty well on the G8 females, for those who like versatility. Although after the scars loaded, there was a lag of about 4 minutes before they showed up. Could be my comp tho. Used the buzz cut hair and the scars here on Sahel. I'd love to see @Mihrelle do a G8Female version tho.... :) Gonna check how that viking hair goes on the G8 females next.
