Elementary, my dear Walter 9

    I tried putting all the individual products from the pro bundle in my cart because I had a suspicion looking at the prices. I wasn't quite right in my suspicion, but not far off. $93.93 for everything individually, which is $0.84 more expensive than the pro bundle. My suspicion was it'd end up cheaper with the buy-in bonuses, which would've been... interesting. But it really isn't far off that at all.

    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.

    The optimist in me is saying that would be lovely. The cynic in me is eyeing the optimist with contempt laugh

    I guess we've both played the token game long enough to be able to hold back. If we're the norm or close to the tipping point, I don't think tokens will last long this time at all. Don't know about you, but I've been a pretty big spender when the price is right, but if everything is priced for tokens and I'm not playing, then I'm just not going to spend.

    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 seems they used ours for that product: https://www.daz3d.com/fpe-hd-face-scars-severe-for-genesis-9

    Cool, I have that!

    I just had an orange banner pop up for 20% off of two items only. I tested it on my cart where the Walter 9 pro bundle was first and three add-on textures listed after and the top two items, bundle and one texture pack went from 71% off to 74% off. The other two items stayed at 68% off. I only had that one token and pulled out my DAZ+ coupon code and used the coupon code (useable once and not on Gift Cards). It lowered my overall cart price. If you have the banner, check it out if you haven't purchased the bundle yet and are on the fence.

    I just got that banner. Walter with any two other new things plus 8 tokens goes to $28.67 (85% off). Fair enough, I'll take it at that price.

    Passed on Walter. I bought his hair and an outift. I have a lot of craggy older guys and still really need buff younger ones, as there simply isn't enough genetics for me to use. He looks okay to be but nothing I need currently.

  • WendyLuvsCatzWendyLuvsCatz Posts: 38,226

    I bought him for $19.59 USD (Australian dollars considerably more as always) with the orange banner coupon that finally arrived as hoped yes

    the shapes can wait and go on my wishlist as I have other morphs anyway so unimportant

    Oh wow, head's up that the cart order matters, it's applies the coupon to the first 2 items in your cart. I was annoyed that it was taking the percent off the cheapest items in mine before.

    I agree! yessmiley

    I like the character, the hair, the shapes, the suit, and even the expressions.  The receding hairline is of particular interest to me.  My older supporting characters all pretty much use the same hair, which sucks.  Well done, artists. yes  In the past, this would be a slam dunk pro bundle buy.  However, I don't have any tokens at the moment, nor do I have store credit.  The coupon code in the banner prevents combining with other coupon codes.  I am not so sure what to do.  My sample cart with the pro bundle is more than I am willing to pay at this time.  Have several hours to weigh other options.  The starter bundle might be an option.  I might just get the character and the hair I like and wishlist the rest. Or I might put the Pro Bundle in the wishlist and do the long watch for future pro bundle sales.  I notice we don't have many renders in the thread yet.  Seeing things from different angles helps sometimes. 

    Thank you, @PerttiA, it was worth waiting until Daz offices opened to see if an orange banner would appear.

    The Pro bundle really *was* priced for 8 tokens.

    Fortunately I had really liked the looks of Arki's new outfit, which, with a couple of DAZ+ items, put me at the 8 token mark. With that, PC+ membership, and the monthly $6 coupon, it brought the bundle down to levels I haven't seen in quite a while. 

    Not going to argue with that. Even though it's an advantage that I don't expect to see again any time soon.

    Waiting for the next day seems to be a good strategy.

    Yesterday the Walter pro bundle came down to $36 and change with 6 tokens and the banner
    Today it came down to $22 and change as I wishlisted it yesterday cheeky

  • AlmightyQUESTAlmightyQUEST Posts: 2,003
    Yeah, instead of wishlisting it I had it in my cart still... Which means it's probably going out now.

    Walter 9 HD out of the box. He is already pretty skinny. I don't see a need for an extra skinny morph.

    Looks good.

    I'll bet if you used his alternate Thin Shape add-on, you could make a MUCH more reasonable Famine horseman of the apocalypse than Dain 9 Emaciated, who looks like he hasn't missed a moment of protein in his long and evil life.

    No, I didn't buy the alternate shapes. I just loaded Walter 9 HD.

    Yup. NEVER buy a pro bundle on the first day. EVER.

    @barbult, really great render of him. 

    I did Walter 9 HD late yesterday on another computer so I can't post now. He was easy to pose and put expressions on.

    My impression of the thin version was that he might be good if you need a frail, ill version of an older man who has been treated for cancer or something else that supressed his ability to eat food or keep it in. Or a long distance runner in his 90s who doesn't have an ounce of fat on him. God help him if he does get sick. Had a friend like that here in his 80s.

    Wish I'd shortlisted the starter bundle :(  Him, the two outfits I wanted.

    Wendy, that's a bit too realistic

    I really like Walter. I don't care for the clothes. I prefer my characters to have more modern or casual clothes.

  • barbultbarbult Posts: 24,245

    I've noticed that Walter's mouth doesn't fit his head. He doesn't come with a custom mouth morph. I created one myself, because I got tired of only seeing his bottom teeth where his top teeth should be visible. The Walter expression packs for sale look OK in the promos, but I didn't buy any of them. I've just been applying existing expressions I already own.

    So far I really like him

    Here is my take on an unfinished Walter concept:
    100% Walter with 50% Death 9 HD Apocalypse Add-On

    For all asserts used see in my gallery

  • DiomedeDiomede Posts: 15,173

    Loving these character renders!

    Thanks, Wendy, @barbult and @markusmatern - looks versatile

  • FenixPhoenixFenixPhoenix Posts: 3,084

    The renders look amazing! You all are tempting me to get him at this point.

    He's looking incredibly real in this one, wow!

    They don't mention this anywhere, but the white hair in the last promo pic looks like the same hair used on Santa Claus G9.
