Like Jeannie two weeks ago, Walter 9's alternative shapes are not a temporary bonus of the Pro Bundle, rather a part of it, available on their own, as a bundle of three or individually.

Started Bundle: https://www.daz3d.com/walter-9-hd-starter-bundle

Where are the clothes he's wearing in the main promo, does anyone know? Can't seem to find them.
Am a bit tired of old white guys by now, though he looks good enough ...
I am seriously considering buying just him (cannot afford the bundle) so I am exceedingly glad this option available if I want to grab it later
For the Pro Bundle, it looks like he's wearing the cleric outfit included with that bundle and for the Starter Bundle, I would say he's wearing the suit included in it. But I have no idea what he's wearing in the main promo of his page (the one included in the first message).
I am not getting an orange banner. Is anyone else? Always like to know if there isn't one at all, or if I don't qualify.
not yet and I probably don't
but knowing DAZ is reason will hold off purchasing for some hours
no extra discounts in cart suggests there isn't going to be one for me at least
I cannot even stay signed in on any browser so not buying anything for now
This, I think. https://www.daz3d.com/soldat-outfit-for-genesis-8-males
From Walter 9 HD's Promo Page:
Mix Match Save
Extra 20% off* when you buy any 2
Extra 30% off* when you buy any 3 or more
Any combination of:
‘Age-Old’ New Releases
Featured Artist items
8 tokens will provide an additional 45% off Daz Originals in your cart, 30% for other PA's
Lately, they have waited until office hours or afternoon at Daz before putting up the banners, currently it's only 3AM at Daz
I feel the same way, although Walter 9 seems to be really well made and is certainly an enrichment for the G9 gene pool. Maybe later.
I like him and what's included in the bundle, but not enough to pay that price... Wishlisted.
I really like the character and bundle this time.
Really like that character and bundle.
In former days: Insta-Buy.
Currently: Insta-Wishlist.
Do really look forward to get him him on a token-loaded discount day in the future.
it gets down to 66% an item if I buy the 3 I want but simply cannot afford to right now
he might be going into my wishlist too, pity I used my DAZ+ coupy already and he will go up before next month's
A very impressive older gentleman character.
That's mildly frustrating, but thank's for the heads up. I was going to instabuy him, but I got sticker shock without the orange banner deal
I really like his shaps, and it's going to be interesting to mix him in and get skinnier legs for figures
Priced for 8 tokens, which I don't have so pass. I'll pick him up when he's in a sale that brings him to the same price as the buy-ins + tokens. Probably be a while.
Also don't like the additional shapes being used to represent so much value in the bundle. When they were bonuses on the previous bundles, I certainly wasn't valuing them so highly. Probably about $5-9 for the 3 in my head calculations. Daz consider them to be $28 items individuallly. We're too far from one another.
Great looking character, though. G9 has needed this. I may have ensured I had 8 tokens for today if this had been the recent standard, but my confidence of a DO character I was interested in has been too low for too long. Hopefully he's a return to form and not a blip.
I do admire him and his cohort of shapes. I put the pro bundle into my cart and the textures for the outfits, used my one measely token and then my DAZ+ coupon and my cart went down to $76.51. It is a bit of a hit to my store credit though. I will wait till later, or tomorrow to see if anything shakes out to lower it more.
But to the artists who worked on this bundle, you did great on this set of products. Even the cleric outfit offers something when you take the robes off. I wishlisted what I can't buy right now.
I like him, but I'd be happier if the scar from the promo was part of the character, which it doesn't seem to be. With the scar he would have been an instabuy.
It looks like he's wearing the Soldat outfit for G8. https://www.daz3d.com/soldat-outfit-for-genesis-8-males
What hair and mustache are used in the main promo?
To me, this is an ongoing issue. You see really nice promos and the bundle doesn't contain those items. I pointed that out once before only to have the post deleted. Come on, Daz, at least list the items used in the promo. You make more money that way.
I have a few possibles, but not quite there. It looks like strand-based hair and might be soon to come? I hope. I like it.
No Hair Studio hair so not enough to make the bundle work for me.
Fun thing is: I was interested in the one or other product on the double-token Monday and Tuesday. But not knowing whether I could make use of those tokens I was not willing to invest.
If I do the math right the $76 cart I see at the moment would have been only $36 applying 8 tokens (full 45% DAZ originals discount). For that price I would have surely bought it which I won't do now as the price for just the bundle and addons is too high for me. Also getting some further 3 tokens would have probably made me do a follow-up purchase to use those. As it is I won't spend a single cent.
So IMO it would be a good thing to do for DAZ to at least tease what will be coming later the week. OK, some might probably re-schedule purchases to wait for getting only that teased product. But others like me would probably take the chance to stock up on tokens in time and spend more. Just saying.
It seems they used ours for that product: https://www.daz3d.com/fpe-hd-face-scars-severe-for-genesis-9
Looks like maybe they used this: https://www.daz3d.com/m3d-facial-hair-set-for-genesis-9
It's about time we've got a character that actually looks different than the norm. I hope he does well, because Daz could use a bit more diversity when it comes to the male side of the equation.
Thanks everyone for the help with the outfit in the main promo!
