The newly released Real Feel Cozy Turtleneck Genesis has a Freak 5 figure in one of the promo images. He looks great.
Sorry, but to be honest, I don't think he does.

I would not worry until we see the actual Freak 5 released. Who knows what percentage of the morph(s) was/were used or what it may have been mixed with, in that promo.

Both images so far look EXACTLY like a boring Freak 4 base with a minor face tweak, and they are clothing promos, I doubt its THAT far from the actual thing or it would'nt make sense.
I already have the Iconic shape of Freak 4. So much potential for a figure totally wasted.
I fear I'll get really dissaponted at DAZ for the first time.
You're looking at him under figure-skimming clothing (and that's a splendid turtleneck mesh in my opinion, incidentally). Wait until he's out.
I agree with sickle:) Wait till he's out:)
I suspect that he may be lurking in one of the Time Traveler promos as well. But I'm not absolutely certain.
Yep, it is him.

Now hold on. I think what may have to do with this involves the fact that he's wearing a much younger looking skin than the other promo I OP'ed with. Yes, I will agree that from what we can CURRENTLY see, he looks something like the F4 Iconic Shape with M5's Head morphed in or even M5 over-bulked up on Body Volume and Body Builder (yeah, I know, implying that the M5 all by himself isn't too bulky already :roll:). But keep in mind that we're only looking at his fundamental BASE. Who really uses 100% of those? Also, many veterans here will tell you that the Freak has always been, for the most part, a super muscled-up version of the respective generation's Michael, anyway.
Besides, every Gen 5 Icon is being released with a lot of nice stuff and interesting character morphs relevant to their genre. Freak is DAZ's Sci-Fi male, so you bet this guy's Pro Bundle will have something worth investing in if you're into that stuff (I'm not really that much, but I can think of a few good ways to make good use of such.). "Coincidentally" enough, if one were to so kindly gander to the current promos, Sci-Fi is JUST the thing that's being hyped up this week. ;)
I agree, but I really wouldn't mind a single body shape if that shape is something REALLY awesome that makes me happy using it out of the box.
I was hoping for something around the detail quality of Mr. Hyde but with human proportions.
That image has me dissapointed.
This is exactly what I always wanted for the Freak (within possibilities):

I would gladly pay a good sum for that shape and skin texture. I doubt the Freak 5 will look anything like this, but the few pics I've seen so far didn't look that different from Freak 4. But I'll wait until the product is released to make final judgement.

Tastes are different - that shape really would turn me off!
I would prefer something along the lines of Freak3 - which I always envisioned as some kind of gentle giant ...
Looks like the PC version of the "Freak". Ya know people got upset at the name and so they had to change his image.
But yeah I can wait to see what he comes out with in a pro bundle. I'm sure his crust is double stuffed.* I kid. But seriously I'm sure he has a morph or two that make him extra nice, and he should have a lot of great gear to go along with it, at least I hope so.

I can make a gentle giant! But I wouldn't mind some crazy morph like that. Not an everyday figure, but could be useful...
*Pardon the obscure reference.
Well, after hearing everyone compare him to F4, including myself, I went ahead and tried something hypothetical out.
Here's a render of M5 with full Body Volume & Body Builder morphs (Left) accompanied by F4 with a half reduced Head with full M5 Head (Right) compared to the two images we have on F5 so far:
I'm willing to wait for the actual product, but from just the promo images for other products seen thus far I am an taken with Freak 5 - looks way too smooth and genial. Where's the lantern jaw, the beetle brow?
To compare with the original Freak

Wait for the product. Smooth he aint:) I for one was amazed at the detail..
That.
Right now, you guys are way off the mark with the speculating, so you may want to just save the comments.

Good luck with that.
BTW anyone seen the horse 2 turn into a dragon yet? Or a bunny rabbit? %-P
Speculating is fun.
Good luck with that.
Well I can hope, can't I?

Yep! With no hope you end up like Brooks, and that isn't good.
That.

Oh come on, Male-M3dia, you know just as well as we do that stuff like this every time a DAZ Icon is about to hit the store. :)
Speaking of which, 28th or 31st, what do you guys think?
I don't need more clothes/poses/hair, I need a Freak 5. I was excited because with the nature of the character, all the advantages of Genesis and what we already have I was hoping for an innovative job. But at this point I'll just wait to see if this smooth and flat Freak 4.2 is worth the base on sale.
Now, now... someone didn't read the comments at the top of the page. ;)
I did. But I trust more on what I see. And I doubt both clothing promos are really THAT far from the fit they are promoting.
At least I know that beautiful turtle neck looks great on Freak 4.
what I love about GenX is never having to be without a shape I want, including Freak
That's what I got zbrush for ;)
Sculpt a little custom goodness for my Freak 4...
"Brock, turn around and show 'em what I made ya in back."
"No."
;)

Trust me, I can bet money that I don't have that if anyone his is the sorest about a lack of Genesis Icon variation it's ME! At least we're GETTING a Freak 5. People like larsmidnatt will tell you I'm a "gotta cach'em all" guy when it comes to major DAZ releases like the Millennium Icons, but my favorites have always been David, Aiko & Hiro. Out of this 5th Generational run the only one out of that trio who made the cut was Hiro, and even then he was built in respect to a new anime female character who's not even an official DAZ Original shape (not that I have any complaints with Hitomi).
Still, I learned to make very good use of them all, even though I never use Hitomi's head and to this day I still have to blend Hiro with Michael to get a somewhat David-esque style build. So, there are ways to work with something to your liking, even if it doesn't give you that appealing first impression. So I would recommend giving F5 a chance and see what you can DO with it as opposed to just SEEING the plain base. :)
I actually like what I've seen of F5 so far. Also, now we have Autofit he's not going to be short of clothes really. With the advent of Genesis I can see more 'one fits all' ranges of clothing rather than figure specific stuff.
Anyhow, we shall see.....
CHEERS!
Look at the included fits for the new release Knight Gear! ;-) http://www.daz3d.com/new-releases/knight-gear-accessories
