I think I have that outfit - just trying to remember the name of it....
I think it's this one:

edit: different texture tho, I think. The logo on the top is the same however, so possibly a texture add on sold elsewhere or one made by the artist.
Very silly clothing and other support content - so I am all in!!! Lovely character.
Out of the box test render.

Thank you so much
you're welcome :) Did you see my post just under with the name of the outfit?
Note about that outfit tho - the texture maps are incredibly big and suck up a LOT of memory, I can't use the entire outfit as it sends me over to the cpu. Although if you have that Scene Optimiser product that reduces the sizes it should be ok. :)

I like Alawa, but I’m not crazy about her. She’s supposed to be a counterpart to Dasan, but Dasan has a lot more character to him, while Alawa looks kind of nondescript to me. I also really don’t like how Daz went HARD on the retro sci-fi theming for these bundles, because I have no use for outfits like those. There have been plenty of bundles in the past that had a general sci-fi theme but still included perfectly usable contemporary clothes. I think a better decision would have been to release a more general bundle for Dasan and Alawa, and release all the retro sci-fi as a separate bundle like the Dain and CJ fantasy bundles.
As for the idea of “stereotyping”, I definitely see both sides of the issue. On the one hand, it would be super easy to put out a bunch of inaccurate, even offensive outfits just to fit with the native theme of the characters. On the other, there’s an opportunity to get outfits that we normally wouldn’t get. Look at the outfits that came with Diego: you could quite fairly say that they are stereotypical depictions of Latin men, but they’re also real outfits that represent different aspects of Latin culture, and we probably wouldn’t have them if they hadn’t been released with Diego. So could Daz have screwed up a Native American themed bundle? Yes, and so, so hard. But it still maybe would have been worth trying. It certainly would have been more appealing to me than the bundles as they actually are.
Still No banner for me even though I own all the Pro Bundles (And yes I checked in My Messages)
It's not about how many old characters are loved.
I'm saying why would you dump something that has been done in previous generations in the dumps?
Whether it's Aiko or Josie, I'm telling you to take advantage of the goodness of the past and update it for the next generation without any unnecessary modeling or texturing.
Don't you dare misunderstand the realist. It's not enough to make everything look old.
ていうか、お年を召したキャラクターがDazでは愛されているとかそういう問題じゃないだろ。
今まで可愛いと言われたAikoやJosieがGenesis8になって（少なくとも日本では）劣化したと言われてるんだよ。
あのね？余計な造形やテクスチャリンクしなくていいから良さを殺さないで世代アップデートしてくれと言ってるんだ。
そして老け顔ばかりリリース偏るのはあまりにもバランス悪すぎると言ってるだけだ。
何でもかんでも老け顔にすりゃいいってもんじゃないぞDazさん。
she looks awesome IMO
but honestly with discounts even I cannot afford her or any other content except the PC+ cheapies and maybe the occasional fastgrab thanks to the combination of losing a large amount of the capital of what I am living on and the plummeting Australian dollar thanks to Covid19.
I am extremely grateful to DAZ for all the lovely free content last weekend but it doesn't put money in my purse either sadly
she will definitely be a character I will wishlist and pick up one day when tne economy recovers, looking forward to seeing renders by others.
Just wanted to make it clear I love the diversity shown with the Genesis 8 generation and hope this remains a trend and explain my reasons for not buying at this time.
That's it! Thank you so much!
No banner yet for me, and I also own all the Pro Bundles, and apparently I have them for most of the other generations thanks to Daz. But my cart is built. Waiting to see what happens after 9am MDT.
I wonder what is the timeline for a Pro Bundle, from concept to release? Consider the difficulty of any release during the time of Corona? The Dasan and Alawa bundles seem timely as their bundles are forward thinking in a 'weird retro way' and fun. Very happy that Daz is moving beyond the ethnic stereotypes.
I will admit to not being a fan of the outfits, but that is me. I think the 'Jetsons' reference was dead on. So anyone who loves Toons will love these outfits.
As a suggestion for a future bundle or theme, medical, not sexualized, but real. I have been trying to pull together renders to reflect what I am seeing on TV and have to use outfits for the guys on females. Some dForce scrubs, masks, PPE, ... realistic things that reflect what we are seeing daily. Expanding that to EMTs, police, firefighters, military, cleaning crews, store workers, reporters in the field, from home, sick... And sets that actually reflect reality.
None for me either, and I have most of them too. The coupon listed a few post earlier works and gives me an extra discount on the pro bundle, though, so I think I should have the banner...
That was the same for me. Although Yve's Promo got me to go back and buy the dForce Emma dress from Aquarius. Always did like Emma Peel.
@alex86fire
You can always buy just the base character.
If Dasan and Alawa are both intended to be Indigenous, then good on Daz there. It's about time, that's for sure.
That said... Alawa is gorgeous as is -not too keen on the PA characters this time around-, but the outfits included in the bundle are more toon-y than not and thus I don't really feel compelled to buy the pro bundle at this time. Still, I could find some use for them elsewhere.
The purple banner for Extra 20% off Alawa 8 New Releases only appeared for me about a minute ago.
that banner discount works on the base too if you qualify
just for me even $18 is twice that in Australian dollars and at this time too much
Aiko and Josie both already have a G8 version.
Showed up for me about 0715 CST USA.
No idea how long ago that was, as that time zone is most probably almost on the other side of the world than me (UTC+2) and I am too lazy to search for a time zones chart.
It just appeared for me.

I don't think I would buy just the base character.
Today, the pro bundle, with 4 add-ons makes the cost of the bundle $37.03. The base character alone is $17.62.
1. I don't think any character by itself (not HD-addpn, no nothing) is worth 17.62 and that is at over 60% discount.
2. The difference in price between the 2 of 20$ would mean an extra 2 characters, 2 hair pieces, 4 outfits and 3 pose packs.
3. The pro bundles usually come toghether with nice offers (I'm not that excited about Alawa's offer, but usually).
What I might consider is pick up either of them in the future as part of another bundles's offer. Like we can get Tristan bundle or character today 5.66 or 17.01.
I like her, but still too much things i do not like.
First thing i don't like: The price. Why so expensive? Several people, including some daz veteran, complained that Dasan was too expensive. Dasan required 3 addons to get best price and included one option very cheap as was PC+. Now Alawa requires 4 addons and non are PC+.
2nd: Bad Benefits. The lower amount from 75 to 60 would not be a problem because now is not divided in 5 categories. But base price is twice the amount as when Dasan was out. That means, is like only $30 instead of $60. So the gap to 75 is high. The 80% discount on some gen8. Looks carefully managed selection of the least selling/interesting ones. While i do get a couple hits from my wish list, non are priority. So getting those at 17 while expending $66+ do not seem that good. Specially considering that during dasan week we got the chance to grab ANY non-new pro-pack at same $17 during flash sale without requiring to spend a single cent in other things. So this additional discount is not a deal maker either to grab Alawa.
3rd: Retro sci-fi. Same as Dasan. I LOVE sci-fi. Not so much retro stuff because is hard to impossible to use in more "traditional" sci-fi environments. And how tradditional sci-fi is handle here in Daz is dissapointing. Always one piece here and there, never a good large selection with high cumulative benefits as fantasy gets several times per month.
I personally think this retro sci-fi would have been awesome just as a theme for one particular sale, not for making 80 to 100% of two main characters content, is just too specific and niche. In my personal opinion Pro-packs content need more variation. I think even Zelara has more variation in its pack and that is a theme character.
Buying just Alawa? Well, as a lot of people i do belive that price for main base figures in DAZ is simple beyond expensive.
That's it! Thank you so much!
Yve looks like Maggie Q/Nikita series to me, at least the main promo pic.
Got the purple banner. Still too expensive for my budget. I'll wait.
Hi there, there is the Lilian Hair in the bundles, and there is (AGAIN) a outfit that is not referenced at all. Can you point me which one it is? Thanks in advance!
