  • YES!!

    *This* is what I love to see and financially support. OMG, he’s a hunk. And he also fills the void of non-fantasy Indian clothing, too. 

    Amazing work all around. Less Malibu Stacy With A New Hat, and more of this kind of diversity, please!!

    Quite a nice one; The deal isn't the best, but it's reasonable enough once the purple banner kicks in to appeal to my sense that I should be supporting the more diverse characters. (I would have liked to support Mr Woo, but I was completely ticked off that after weeks of being pestered to buy Bridget 8's HD add-on at a discount, the same offer wasn't applied to a character who would have much more benefitted from it. As such, he'll be picked up as and when there's a reasonable discount on the core character).

    Also, I'll add that he's very useful to me as a British artist, as South Asian is the second most common ethnicity here, so to finally see it represented in a core character (with hopefully a female equivalent on the way) is particularly welcome.

    I'll probably have to take a few days to decide on a cart (also, I'm away from home on a mediocre laptop, so the "I want to render that NOW" impulse isn't in play), but I'm sure I want something.

    There is this Disney movie called Aladdin coming out this month. Coincidence? I don't think so.

    Any blue genies, flying carpets, magic laterns in the works? :)

    Nice figure... too bad that I don't like too much of the stuff in the Pro and Starter pack to make it worth buying either...
    And when I only put Sanjay in my cart, adding the stuff from Pro / Starter pack that I DO like doesn't count as "Sanjay Addons" so there's no price reduction...

    All in all: I wishlisted the stuff I want and now wait for a better deal...

    Shouldn't the HD addon be under addons? - I'm not seeing it on the Promo page - Some confusion over the offer of it Free during Promo period only, some peeps might assume it's hidden in the bundle. I had to hunt under 'Shop' to find it.

    I would assume it's not countng as an add-on because it's free with the bundle.

    Who ever did the promo's on this did a top notch job !!!

    I like Sanjay. I don’t care for his outfits which is usually why I buy pro bundles since men’s clothing is so scarce. However I don’t have a pressing need for Indian fantasy garb and dforce thin clothing doesn’t work for me as well as conforming outfits. I’m thinking  about it. I also think his eyebrows are kinda high for my tastes.

    even the 70 percent coupon is sort of not tempting since the items on the list are full price. I still remember the days of free pro bundles...so not sure about it.

    Sanjay is good but that deal? Not so much. I would've liked it better if the HD was free with the base too, not just with the bundles.

    Sanjay is a pleasant surprise and a instant buy for me. Can't wait to see his female indian counterpart of this caliber in store next. Good job Daz!

  • DaikatanaDaikatana Posts: 830

    I’m glad to see the different ethnicity available.  I will most likely pick up the base figure just to give myself options for creating unique characters. While the pro bundle is nicely put together, there is literally nothing in it that I would likely use so even with the purple banner discount on other content it’s not a deal that I can really justify taking advantage of.  No criticism here.  It’s a solid offering.

    Amazing figure love the pro bundle and the outfit textures.  Also the $70 off was great got 8 items free.  Love that the HD figure was free too.  Don't really use men but had to get this guy.

    Odd, they had their regular (Platinum Club) discounts for me, and the discounts did stack. Are you sure you were actually logged in on the store page? It has a habit of logging me out once or twice a week.

    Hmmm, logical - from the point of view of the shop content management system.

    But not terribly helpful that it doesn't appear on the promo page to be noticed.

    It is. "Buy the Sanjay 8, Sanjay 8 Starter Bundle or Sanjay 8 Pro Bundle to get Sanjay 8 HD for FREE*"

    It didn't work the first time I put it in the cart, but now it does. Yay! :D

    Why would they pull the product? I'm not going to buy this because I dont need it but it looks to be top notch for others. The point being it will keep selling. Or would keep selling if you kept it in the store. The artist doesn't like money?
  • DripDrip Posts: 1,237

    It's fairly possible that the Sanjay HD will be in the store, but that they need to create a new product entry for it to actually turn into a properly priced product.

  • gitika1gitika1 Posts: 948

    I like the character and the bundles; so I'll probably go for the pro bundle. But even with the purple banner offer of an additional amount of free items the deal doesn't seem to be nearly as good as that for previous pro bundles.

    Agreed.  Tika's purple banner was an additional 20% off, the $20 was in each of the 5 categories, and a gift card % off.

    BUY THE PRO BUNDLE
    & 4 OR MORE OF HER ADD-ONS:

    EXTRA 30% OFF* them
    & 15% OFF* a Gift Card

    & $20 FREE*‡ Select Categories below

    Bravo! Thank you Daz for a realistic male subcontinent character  expertly executed - especially in the lips/nose. Instead of going for  Bollywood features they have created a more adaptable base.  As India is predicted to overtake the population of China soon - fingers crossed we explore this diverse gene pool more.

    Good work Daz, I'm guessing Sanjay will have his lady couterpart soon, I hope.

    It's only a text link in the adcopy, and only listed at the top, with the info for buying the Pro Bundle:

    Buy the Sanjay 8, Sanjay 8 Starter Bundle or Sanjay 8 Pro Bundle to get Sanjay 8 HD for FREE*
    THIS IS A LIMITED TIME OFFER AND SANJAY 8 HD WILL BE UNAVAILABLE AFTER THIS PROMOTION ENDS

    For clarity, did you mean the $70 bump to the $30 Free content offer with the Pro Bundle?

    Random thoughts with Sanjay Pro Bundle in the cart:

    Base character: very well done. Good skin, good face that evokes several Indian celebs without being any one of them in particular, physique that's a bit different from what we've been seeing on the Genesis 3/8 men (more typical of working class South Asians than celebrity ones) and the more useful for it.

    Characters: Sai is awesome, can't place who he reminds me of-maybe a very idealised Ranbir Kapoor or a younger, very very idealized Ajay Devgan? Devansh is a great skin with a bunch of options, plus an appearance that's well-done and interesting. HD component makes it difficult for me to back-convert the morph to G3M, my preferred mode of operation, but may end up not being a priority.

    Hairstyles: the dforce one is a brilliant idea; Varun hair is also nice. Reminds me of the mop cut Shahrukh Khan and Shahid Kapoor affected at different times.

    Poses: excellent, well-researched and convincing.

    Clothes: a couple of them involve PAs I am semi-avoiding, and the other two are not anything I have a burning need for, but they're all reasonably well-done. 

    Addons: the ones in my cart are the Iron-Fire outfit (thank you for the teeth/horns sizing morphs, think they'll come in handy) and its texture set, plus Raj (well-done Raziel/Silver character), and the texture set for the Alpha Male outfit, on the grounds that of the couple of Pro Bundle outfits I was interested in, it was going to look less good with shader presets.

    Sigh. If I pull the trigger I really will have to stay away from here for the next few weeks, and not buy anything else.

    I love his looks, especially his smile! The deal is not the greatest compared to past deals even with the $70 off since most of the choices are full price (with regular PC discount,) but I do really like the character! 

    This is the best smile I’ve seen on a male Genesis character of any generation. Definitely a hottie here!

    Interesting. I just purchased the Sanjay 8 Base character and still got the HD add on for free. 

  • nonesuch00nonesuch00 Posts: 18,714

    This is a very northern Indian style character, very Bollywood in appearance, which makes the lack of diversity in northern Indian style clothing with this pro bundle or even as add-ons very disappointing. When I visited in the north last year, traditional and modernized takes on traditional clothing are still very evident in contrast to further south in Hyderabad where WalMart type twill cotton pants and cotton t-shirts were much more prevalent. 

    I'm guessing a female Indian pro bundle is on the way so I hope for more traditional Indian clothing with it. The clothing and local architectural styles are the hard part, as these types of Indian characters have been easily doable over a year now since the G8M and DO Head / Body / Expressions packages were made available.

    That said, the characters are well modeled.

    Its on my wish list but only after Floyd, Mabel, Mrs Chow, Mr Woo. LOL, yes, I'm poor because there is big doubt I buy all that before Genesis 9 comes out even if Genesis 9 isn't coming out til sometime next year. laugh

    addons not giving me anything. no warm fuzzy feeling. maybe just buy sanjay and get free HD . OR
    Spend $30 and get 3 months of The Great Courses Plus.  or maybe buy gas for my car. 

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,751

    whats the lowest price for pro bundle? Right now  I have $46 with 4 adds in my cart. The entire deal is $72. Haven't added the DO stuff yet but $72 seems pretty high overall compared to previous pro bundle sales. 
    $42 for Pro bundle if I apply $6 PC+ coupon, but then it isn;t using full vaslue of coupon becasue of free HD addon ... 

  • MelanieLMelanieL Posts: 7,712

    Yes, I think that's right - the best I get is 46.29 for Sanjay 8 Pro Bundle and with four of the cheapest add-ons (texture sets and/or expressions) the total is coming in at $66.81 for me. (I only have $79 credit left for the month so I'm having to think hard....)
