In the full body promos all 3 skins are very odd from the waist down. It looks like an uneven sunburn or rash. Some areas, like the top of the feet, are very pale but bright. It's especially obvious on Wendy but all 3 have it.
I think I've read on the forums about some G9 characters with legs that don't quite match the rest of the body. Are these examples of that, or is it a case of very bad lighting?
Either way, I am probably going to pass, even at $1. I have more than enough characters of this type.

The effect you see is normal if you're very pale skinned and come in from outside when it's very cold, to inside where it's warm. It's more noticible on the legs, but happens all over the body. The PA probably used such a person for their source photo materials.
I got the bundle, as I felt it was well worth the price but I have not so many of these type characters.
The skin materials are not the quality I would expect from a DAZ product. There are a lot of artifacts from the original skin photos that haven't been cleaned up yet.
I went ahead and got the bundle figuring it was either an early set of promos before the textures were completed, or that I could simply use the materials from a different character. Unfortunately, the textures were as bad as the promos. Fortunately this figures look pretty good with materials from some other G9 figures. I must admit, I'm pretty shocked that DAZ QC let these through, and put them on sale, If I payed the full intro price for the bundle instead of a dollar I would be rather upset. IMHO this doesn't look very good for DAZ3D, and makes me wonder what's going on.
Anyway, for anyone that is interested in the bundle for the morphs, attached is a quick render of Linen using HH Scarlett for G9. I'm glad I got the bundle for a dollar, the characters are really cute.

Ergou's character names have really gone off the rails.
It was a bargain for me because I have enough characters whose skin material I can use, but I only own very few figures of this toony doll type. I also like the fact that someone has finally made really black eyes. Wnneg's blotchy skin is also a welcome, thoroughly realistic variation.
I bought the bundle because I like the Wnneg character, and her realistic, imperfect skin.
They aren't something I'd use much, so I don't regret passing the offer up. I am glad others like them.
I'm not premier but was able to get Linen for 5 cents using my Daz+ coupon with 3 punches. I wasn't paying much attention to the skin because I was thinking she'd be cute in FilaToon. But Winneg looks like she's been badly beaten and bruised all over her body! Whoever the model was for that texture looks like a victim of serious abuse!
