    So is the long hair in the promo images that Lindsey's wet hair? Does anyone know for sure?

    Here's a store of Koa wood items:

    Martin & MacArthur

    The products are really cool to look at, and the prices are... amazing!

    Nice products indeed, but definitely out of my budget ;)

    There is more than one long hair in the Tatau Tribal Tattoo Collection promos, but as near as I could tell, without extensive fiddling about with it, the promo hair does, indeed, seem to include Linday's Classic Wet Hair - used with Kai G9F in this image.  Not sure about the other long hairs in the Kai 9 promos.

    I like the base characters a lot, but to me, the bundles are too lackluster for paying $29 each (assuming I put in an addon item at $5), even if I use my $6 coupon and some leftover tokens to bring them down a little more. And if I go just for the base characters, they're $25 each which would make the bundles look like an offer... if the bundles had that perceived value to me. They didn't. Into the wishlist they go, I suppose.

    Put both character bundles and one texture add-on in your cart, then add one 'Aerie' new release and apply the coupon code (DAZ-60-SAVE). That should drop the bundles to $11.76 each (for Daz+ members), with the total cart somewhere around $38-$44 depending on your 'Aerie' item. Tokens will bring it down further.

    Thanks for the tip! With the VDB clouds discount and 4 tokens that didn't expire yet, the total of the cart went down to just under $30. It's a great price... except that the bundles content is so lackluster to me (usually there's something in the bundles I could use, but these ones really have nothing for me), that I'm still hesitating. With the changes in Daz last month, I'm definitely less of an enthusiastic buyer. But I still appreciate the tip! I'll sit on the cart today and I'll see.

    I'm 99% sure those long, curly hair images are using Linday dForce Wet Style Curly Hair for Genesis 8 and 9.  There is a normal (long) and slightly shorter version in the options. I'll add a render here later, it is simulating right now (takes a little while).

    Edited to add image:

    I believe the streamlined character packs are meant to allow Premier to trade in and then buy more stuff.

    These two are beautiful characters, but I'm more interested in Fish and Wolf right now.

    @Gogger: yes, that hairstyle does look very fine on Kai. But it does seem to really be for women. I'm wondering if that's the same hairstyle that was used on Koa. Could you possibly do a render with that hairstyle on Koa? And do you think that is the hair set that is used on Koa In the promo renders? I wish they would include this information when they show these products, especially these products that are produced by "DAZ Originals," because It's not possible to email the creator and ask the question.

    if you look through the images on the product page, you will see the shorter male version.

    Those were instant buys for me, as with all the discounts, came up to about $30USD for the set

    This was a super quick render, I've run out of time this weekend, but it gives you an idea. There is a bit of a hair glitch on the left edge of the image - maybe with more time, and patience, that could be resolved.
