RR Body Harness

Appearance

 So we have a new harness here, from Marine. A classic design, intended to be snug, shape defining, and a handy addition for holding parts of your body in check.

 This one uses Both rigged and unrigged mesh, with the rigged straps using the new fittedmesh system, which makes them form to your shape even more than rigged mesh already did. It also has materials in use, so make sure to have advanced lighting on.

 It is VERY customisable. Each strap can be its own individual colour, of which the harness contains many presets and tints to choose from. You can freely choose which part of the strap as well, be it just the fastener, the trim, or the entire strap. Heavy multi colour is an option.

 It also has a lot of patterns to choose form, ranging from the simple leather, to leopard print, to commands been stitched into to make it a dominant option as well, such as "obey". Submissive options exist as well of course, such as "Owned" and of course "Slave".

 Two sections are rigged, the crotchstrap and the belly/lowerback. Annoyingly for me at least, the belly/lowerback one is slightly too far forwards, so my back clips, and theres a noticable gap from the side between the strap and my stomach.. The rest are unrigged, which is both good and bad. The good? It allows you to adjust for say, Lolas tangos, or unusual shapes and accessories. The bad? Unrigged will never flow with the body as well, and I noticed that while it fits perfectly on the posestand, it doesn't like quite a few animations in my AO.

 Ultimately its a very adjustable piece, with tons of different ways it could be used. Breast harness, chastity strap, etc.

  It also includes two toys of an intimate nature that are quite.. large, and can also be recoloured freely. Some of the options are also animated in quite an.. over the top way.

Function

 Standard RR here. Lock as the first option, with Last Plug to follow, which opens the last plugin menu you were in. Take/leave Keys comes after that, with Tools.. on the next row down. In here you have the usual options, including a male setting, the ever handy verbose, etc. Plugins follows this, with 6 plugins within.

 Those plugins are Leash, Marines Realkey system for overwriting the lock, Rl time, that makes the timelock go by what the real time is, not hours logged into SL. Autolock is next, which allows you to have the restraint lock in future,  with specific restrictions and options in place. Give keys follows, and doesn't need explained, and finally is HarnessTex, which lets you adjust the appearance.

 Back on the main menu, we finish up with More.. where you will find the usual RR options again, specifically the options to shut off the cheating alarm, and hide the timer. The other options are already on the main menu.

 The toys have their own menu, with the majority of the options related to how they act, with how much speed. Could be quite evil
 

Thoughts

 I quite like it, and the price is quite fair. It has very little up-to-date competition right now, though its primary one is major. The price is quite fair, and the customisation is *excellent*. Plenty of options to make it match a hell of a lot of outfits and ideas. The toys seem a little over the top at times, but still could be fun if used at the right time.

 Also, Marine *really* needs to invest in a customisation HUD. When we have this many options, a HUD is just far, far more convient and effiecient to use.

 Aside from the belly/lower back strap issue, I'd say it would be a pretty good buy all in all. 450 linden for this harness.

S & S

• Good Variety of features
• Quality is what they would expect
• Not a must buy, but is nice, classic and very customisable.
• Doesn't distinguish itself well outside of its customisation

Fedotia's Drone suit

So.. a Drone suit.

Appearance

 Its an all encompassing rubber suit, head to toe, with optional very long ponytails. Can have up to three tails coming form your head, or none at all. These tails are also how you access the menu. It also has built in ballet boots.. It might be because of where they are located, but they seem lower quality than the rest, but that may just be the lighting not reaching them.

 In terms of customization, you have a few options. The three hair styles mentioned above, the option to switch between gloves and mitts, and 11 colours options for the body and hair. For the most part the shine isn't too strong, but it is not adjustable, so your mileage will heavily vary depending on your lighting settings.

Function

To begin.. Be careful. If you lock this on yourself, anyone else in the world can still lock it as well. And if someone claims you, then leaves? Well you're screwed and have to do a hard reset. (Log without RLV, reset scripts). So yeah. best not to go out in this without an owner you trust. Also when its locked, you get a randomly assigned drone name to replace your normal.

As the wearer, when you first click it, you can choose to lock it, or leave it be. The first thing that happens when you lock is you get a HUD that limits you to the center of your screen for vision. The KaS hood uses a similar system. I've included an extra pic of this at the bottom of the review.

A massive black mark - It blocks IM by default. This should ALWAYS be an option, and off to begin with. The second black mark? Emote blocking, with NO way to turn it off. Any long messages simply become something like "A-660 squeals"

Now then.. Menus. RLV is first, in which you'll find two pages worth of various RLV restrictions. Nothing out of the ordinary in here. Release is next, and is fairly obvious in what it does. Self Lock

Done is next, which closes the menu for other people to use without interference. IM follows that, with all of the IM restriction options inside it. As mentioned before, this should be off by default, but isn't, so this may be the first stop for many if you buy it. Outfit follows, which is another RLV restriction menu, which lets you adjust whether you can attach or remove clothes and attachments.

Gag is next. It has only one level open to the wearer, which means everything you try to say come out in Mms and mmphs, with Mute following that, which stops you talking at all. Lastly is Appearance, where you can adjust the options mentioned above.

When locked by someone else, you'll just get a message saying "You're locked by <name>, Be a good drone". If locked, but no one has claimed you, it states "You are free but locked. You have to wait for an owner that claims you."

Thoughts

 I have to be honest, I got a really bad first impression of this item. When I put something on, and instantly find my IMs not working? I get annoyed. Even more so when I can't emote properly.

  Been objective. Its not badly built, though I did notice some odd lines showing up under some lighting, uncertain if that was intended or not. I also would of liked adjustable shine.The impact that setting has depending on your actual graphical settings should not be understated, and always adjustable.

  I did like the gag and mittens at least, and the colour options weren't bad. But would I buy it for 800 linden..? Thats a tough one. In its current state, especially with that permanent emote blocker? I'd not buy it. Emotes are too important to RP to allow for such a thing.

You can pick this up from Tai Yong Labs on the Doll Works sim

S & S thoughts below

S one

"It doesn't really do anything better than what you could do before, and for people who like interaction and emoting rather than public restrictions, does things worse"

S two

 "This item seems to be targeted for those who get their enjoyment from RLV enabled toys rather than the interaction and roleplay with others. "
