New Mesh Bodies Coming Soon to Your Library Folder
Or maybe you saw them (quickly) when they first appeared. As I type this and much earlier in the day the bodies were no longer available. A few folks spotted them on their possibly too early arrival. This included Skell Dagger who wrote a very detailed article.
They were there -- then they were gone. And it is still a bit of a mystery as to the "why" of it all.
And the answer was posted later in the day:
Well maybe not an ANSWER but a comment anyway :D.
It seems more likely an "oops" than a "leak" but either way it SEEMS we can expect to see Legacy Bodes (gals and guys) as well as a host of of gifts from top name designers sometime in the future.
Now for many of us this will not be a big deal. We have our body of choice and skin or skins etc. But for NEW folks this is outstanding. SENRA was a step up from the default avatar certainly but since there were very VERY few designers on the SENRA bandwagon the LL release didn't really have a chance.
THESE NEW USER BODIES LOOK GOOD.
My graphic above isn't of the body of course as I can't see it personally. The picture is an artified version of a shot of the very old TMP (first real free body on the grid) from long long ago. Now TMP did some good things back then and some not so good things. Toward the end for whatever reason someone in the company (no idea who) made some very bad choices which left nasty tastes in many of our virtual mouths.
Moving onward after awhile the Legacy bodies took the grid by storm with some exceptionally smart marketing. Much improved over TMP there was no "free" version :D. Maitreya and Legacy balanced on a teeter-totter for a long while and then Reborn (also a second version from the same creator) came out. Now judging by a brief look around the feeds Reborn has bypassed both of the previously top brands. Time for Legacy to make a move. This seems to be more of that excellent marketing.
So keep your eyes peeled for you, your alt or your neighbor who you have been trying to drag into SL for a long while.
I suspect there will be an official blog post about this new free stuff when the items appear once more in our inventories.
