I just bought a Halloween bundle. the pieces are
Medusa Face
Vampire Face
Frilled AScot
Fish Monster Gloves
Fish monster boots
Vampire High Collar Package for Capes
Vampire Broach
Spider WEb Wings
Bats Aura
Piranha Head
Think Tank head package
Beehive Hair
Serpentine Hair
Frilled Ascot seems horribly broken, it's under Detail 2 for head (ie. neck) but it appears up in the air behind your head. Also mildly disappointed that there are "Fish Monster" head, hands and feet pieces but no body or legs to go along with them. I'm sure I can make do, just...mildly disappointed.

Meh, probably first pack I won't be buying. Was really hoping for Gunslinger. But, I'm sure there's stuff in there for others to enjoy, even if a few items in the pack are broken (Ascot is hovering behind head, new cape isn't placed right either, big hole you can see through to side of head, etc.) I think they might wanna throw these things on test to make sure they are working correctly before putting em up on the market.

I see enough pieces I'll have use for to warrant buying the set -- the Think Tank alone is a must-have for Victor Praetorius -- but I'm not going to jump the gun. I'll wait for the official announcement.

Oh Finally a Brain in jar head item, wanted one of those since I started playing the game!
Woot!

A real showstopper!

Initial excitement wore off as I went through some more of the options.
I'm not saying it's bad, but I'm going to sleep on it, hehe.
Certainly some great options!! No question about that. Just a few issues here and there that make me question the value... But, really, I think I'll be happy with it (we'll see).
Pictures coming...

Should be noted that the Brain in a Jar head comes with brain, brain and eyes, and no brain option. Along with different respirators and pipes on the base. Creepy awesome stuff.
Now if I could only think of a concept. . .

And I've been begging for the brain-in-a-jar ever since I got my neck-bolts, back with the Science Booster.
Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas
Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.
Okay, here are some very quick pics of the new pieces (and some quick costumes):
Sea Creature stuff:
Head with Fins (there is an option to remove the Fins [the antennae are not removable]), Gloves and Boots
with reptilian body
With a bit of a different costumeAND the new Spider Web Wings

Okay... yeah, let's look at the best part... the Brain in the Jar!!! 
Without Eyes:
Empty!!
With the different Respirator:
And with NO respirator:
You can also mess with the coloring of the jar and the fluid inside of it. All of these use a grey and a light/faded bue-ish purple.

New Vampire High Collar Cape option (just a new collar, no new cape)!
What better than throw it on an old Dracula costume I had saved...
And with the new Bat Aura too!
Oh, right, there's a new "Vampire Face":
It comes with glowing eyes, controlled by the face color:
The eyes default to a Red Color (here it is in Black, which results in red):
But they are overcome by the glow, the brighter the color option (here is white):
I forgot to grab the female Vampire Face...
Here is the female's Beehive Hairstyle:

Tank without brain gives me an idea for a Hellboy 2 Johann Kraus type character.
And here is the Medusa Face and Medusa Hair...
This face also has glowing eyes controlled by the face color option.
I really like the hair... I have to admit that I wish males could use it too!
Using the Viper Face:
P.S. I'm using the Beast Aura - Breath in the above Medusa costumes.

I'm also thinking about Electric Eyes aura and a Robbie The Robot approach maybe!

Just previewed it all and decided I wanted it! ...and, just as I go to purchase, pigg crash failure. Hmm.

Might as well ask here.
What happens if you buy some pieces of a set and then buy a bundle?
The Medusa face is ugly... rightfully so. The Vampire face, on the other hand, is a bit too ugly even for an undead. The Vampire high collar is quite nice; I've been hoping to see something like that for a while. The brooch, however, doesn't take colors well.
Brain in the Jar really sells this set though. I know a mad scientist that would be smiling if he still had a face rather than a magnificent shiny brain case.
I completely missed the broach! I'll have to check that out another time!
Check out Zombie Man's video for more footage too!

Some of the pieces I could skip, but I added up the cost of the parts I want, and it's better just to buy the bundle.

I have an Energy/Poison whose concept is that he's firing high pressure jets of chemicals; the brainless tank is perfect as a chemical resevoir. And my cyborg Dominator Mad Science just has to have the brain-in-a-tank.

Arc #40529 : The Furies of the Earth
Bought it, but hoping for a shark head down the line.

[QUOTE=theOcho;3409811]As to the REAL reason I'll be leaving, I'm afraid it is indeed because Tamaki Revolution dc'd on me during a RSF.[/QUOTE]
They need to add a glowing eyes (combat and always on) option witht he bat aura (and this wouldnt be to bad to have a combat option as well).
The Brooch needs to be colorable as well.
The wings are awesome.
BrandX Future Staff Fighter
The BrandX Collection
The brain in the jar is awesome! Only wish would be to be able to have some other heads inside it like a skull or the prianah head or just some of the regular heads.
The Piranha head is very nice, but wish there was a way to remove the deely bobbers from it. That would make it it look much better.
The fish monster gloves and boots... I'm not sure about. They look way too much like gloves and boots, part of a costume rather than part of a fish monster.
The bats aura is also very nice.
Thats all I've had a chance to look at so far.
Always remember, we were Heroes.
Well, I needed a warshade, so...
Best part: Laser eyes without the eyes.
And my fishman (Ice/Fire blaster) is enjoying his new revamp:
I love logging on late Monday/Early Tuesday...
I haven't even gone through it all yet, but there is new stuff in the store...
A bunch of Halloween-Themed costume pieces (Including a Pack, which I am thinking most/all of these pieces are included within... I will be purchasing this pretty soon after I type this)...
I'm just excited... besides seeing "Pirhana Head" and a bunch of other costume items listed in the store (so I raced to the creator instead)...
We have a Brain in a Jar HEAD OPTION!!!
What's even cooler is you get a choice of having a brain in there... a brain with eyes... or EMPTY!
And two vent/breather options outside the front of the head/tank.
It's a special head, so no other head details to add...
Anyway... Going to go pour through it all, and -if I have time- I'll try and grab pics...
REALLY liked the look of the Fish-Tank Head, haha, and had to share!!
Bats Aura, High-Colored Cape and some other Fin (fishy) parts were spotted in the list too, btw...
