But it isn't Thursday!
This new pro bundle release is a nice surprise to wake up to.
Interesting character and skin? Check
Three practical, functional outfits? Check
Capitalizing on G9's male and female morphs? Check
No high heels in sight? Check!
I'll definitely pick this one up after I've had my morning coffee

I'm going to have so much catching up to do once I can afford to really invest in G9. Among the best G9 bundles so far.
I really like this bundle. Unfortunately I didn't jump on the G9 train so far and I don't need Neanderthals for my current project.
Nevertheless, these are great looking assets.
I want to see a comparison between Neanderthal 9, and one of these; Michael 9/Michelle 9, Karmen 9, and Kala 9. They seem similarly skin toned and I have Mike and Kala.
I feel like Neanderthal 9 is one of the most versatile ones yet, in terms of mixing it and making regular-looking people.
It looks like the bundle will land in my Product Library before the end of Daz day, the orange banner with all the stacking discounts takes it down to $20.57 at 91% off (8 tokens included)
I even like what's in it
Very good model with an excellent head/face. But the skin seems too dark for a neanderthal.
What are you basing that on?
That really was a pleasant surprise. Neanderthal 9 is a very likeable fellow, quite authentic (I live near where the 'real' Neanderthal was found and know 'his' museum), quite versatile, and I like the bundles. The offer on the orange banner was also good, so after a long time I bought a Pro Bundle.
I have the Pro Bundle, every add-on (not in the bundle), plus one older Ensary pose pack I have had on wish list in my cart with the coupon and 8 tokens at a total of $54.14. It might shift when the full sales tax adjusts when I go to buy it. Right now it is $4.02, but I have seen it rise when I pay. And I am getting 10 tokens for the purchase. And I like the guy and his package overall. As other noted, some things are a bit more futuristic for him, but the clothes can be used by others also. Love the furs.
I suspect it may be from the research quoted in a line from the Smithsonian Museum web page: https://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence/genetics/ancient-dna-and-neanderthals#:~:text=Neanderthals%20had%20a%20mutation%20in,%2C%20but%20not%20red%20hair)%20. where it says:
The research report is not unique to the Smithsonian, so could have been from another source, but the Smithsonian is considered to be pretty authoritive.

The skin on this character has some issues, which makes me sad. The palms of the hands and feet look darker than the rest of the skin from the example images. I wonder why the artist went that route? Even other primates, like the chimpanzee, have lighter palms. Not sure about using skin on other G9 characters. Hmmm.. The bundle looks like it has some cool stuff tho.
Edit: changed sentence, not a dermatologist or anthropologist so what do I know? =)
Did a quick test. Looks like a fairly typical skin for a Caucasian man who spends a lot of time outside not wearing a lot of clothes and working with his hands.
My hands look darker when I'm working on the car
The only thing I like from this bundle is the dForce Padrino Outfit and the texture add-on. Seems like it doesn't belong though
I must be atypical. I go bright red, and next day leave all my skin behind, ready to do it all again (ouch). All I can say is that it takes longer than a British summer to change my skin tone by any noticable amount.

For the price with coupons and a full allotment of tokens, I already have it in my cart. I never plan to need an actual Neanderthal character but I suspect that small doses of the shapes will make interesting variations on other characters.
wow - I'm still at 51$. I have no tokens but you are obviously adding something I'm not to the mix. What is the secret? I've added stuff and managed to get 3 free "dino" products ... cool that is, but so far no other discounting on the bundle other than the banner discount, which is very good.
My heritage is very strongly Danish, but I took a second DNA test (a decade apart) to test for Neanderthalism and it was confirmed. I actually find this a very interesting and POSITIVE thing. Was very excited to find that out. And for what it is worth, I tan easily and darkly with minimal burning.
I already have A LOT of render ideas with this new figure - super eager to get started!
I basically added all the related add-ons not in the Pro Bundle and got an orange banner for %50 percent off then added 6 tokens - Pro Bundle price: $26.17 at 88% off! I have a cart price of $55. I *almost* feel guilty!
Did you get the orange banner with an extra 50% off? I also added 2 add-ons and the pro bundle dropped wayyyy down, then I added my 8 tokens and it went to $20.57 or 91% off from $106.81. My final count of add-ons was 5, and 1 older item from Ensary I had wishlisted. But by that point the savings had been reached.
I'm seeing 20.57, broken down like this:
Daz is either stealing 0.809325¢ from me or it's close enough
Could be the Neanderthal genes?
awesome..it was the ad-ons holding me back. I'm now at $37. Thats probably it as I have no tokens.
Two Neanderthal 9 Add-ons gives Extra 30% off the bundle, the Orange banner gives Extra 50% off the bundle and 8 tokens gives Extra 45% off the bundle
The two addons (textures) are $3.21 each in my cart and one should not forget the three $10 off Dinotastic items if one buys the bundle.
The whole cart is 16 items for $40.76 at 93% off
Added one Pamawo item and took advantage of the wishlist discount and the one item for $1.99
I have rendered him in a modern setting with the Lion Cub and his skin is a challenge for me. I tried MelissaGT's adjustments and they seemed to improve it a little so the knuckles came out better. I also added a point light, but it is a challenge. That said, I love this guy. His face is wonderful, I found it easy to use expressions and the sliders to tweak it. MI Everyday Construction Worker clothes had no issue with his size. No problems with the Stone Age hair either.
Yep. I hesitated initially, but with the orange banner, there's just too much interesting stuff for the price. I'm totally getting it.
Excellent! $37 still seems a pretty nice price, with the caveat that I haven't bought the bundle. You'd get 8 or 10 tokens from that cart too, which could be good or dangerous. Usually dangerous for me!
It's like Gordig said, I have a lot of catching up to do and hardly know where to start on my wish list.
You're atypical, I'm mongrel British and my skin only goes red when I'm covered in the blood of my family's or Mrs Queen's enemies.
On topic, the neanderthal suits the G9 heavy body hair from the John 9 bundle.
