A new product by Marine Kelly that inspired me to buy them from a list of features. That right there is proof of their success - what are we here for if not to make stuff people will buy.
Playing around with them I was satisfied to see Marine's tried and true style, good animations - including spreader bar animations which is not something I've seen yet and they're done well which is even better, and a restricting combination of poses.
The fitting, as with most items, takes some time but I think it's worth it for some fun.
There's some decent innovation in them too, even a few ideas that I was planning for my own cuff set (which I guess says good things about me if my ideas are good enough for Marine's famous work). Sadly some of the innovation seemed to go to waste. Things like the crotch chain, which take up the stomach slot, is a neat idea (that of having a bunch of relays to send a particle in a shape to avoid it cutting into the avatar unrealistically - something I wanted for my cuffs) but it only turns on for one of six poses in the arm cuffs and none of the leg poses.
To me that just seems like a lot of work for so little use.
The four collar in one is a nice idea though it makes adjusting it tricky as it's hard to tell what is where.
Overall I like them, they're done well with solid and fast scripts - they have some innovation and of course look great. Perhaps my standards are just to high but I think Marine could have done a lot more to improve them.
