    Is anybody else thinking we FINALLY have a character appropriate to play Khan Noonien Singh? wink

    No bundle for me.  I don't like buying items that have weapons so I gave the bundles a miss but did build my own and still managed to check out under $60.00.  Thanks to whomever designed this character, it's quite reaslitic looking with some nice options.  My question about the main character page though is: Are his eyebrows mapped or are they fibermesh?  I couldn't find that on the sales page anywhere.

    well, its a pass for me. just cannot afford to buy it now. $67 is the lowest I can get the bundle down to. buying just the base isn't really cost effective.

    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? :)

    That was my first thought when I opened the email, perfect timing for the movie definitely in the cart, be awesome to see some flying carpets and genies, lol, maybe some clothing like Jafar and Jasmine

    Interesting - the sale page says Sanjay 8 HD will be unavailable after the promotion.  Does that mean the HD set will be pulled from the store after the promotion, and now is the only time to get it?  Or is this a misprint?

    that it is being offered free if you buy the starter or pro bundle after that you have to pay

    After 2 week s the HD add-on will no longer be int he store.  It will be disabled.  So it will only be available for a limited time.

    Sanjay 8 looks GREAT. This tiny bit of Shah Rukh Khan around the eyes... Thank you, Daz!

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

    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.

    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

    I strongly urge Daz to place the HD Add-On PROMINENTLY on Sanjay's Sale page to save Sales Support the trouble of having to add it to people's Product Libraries after the fact.

    And what's with the evident surcharge on male core character bundles compared to females? I never use the anatomical elements anyway.

    Just wanted to drop in to say yay for diversity!!! I was playing around with Daz3D last week and keep thinking to myself, I wish we had a character that was Latin or Indian, covering the brown skinned archetype. Thank you for this! I just wish I wasn't broke, but I will definitely be coming back for Sanjay in the near future!!!

    I hope we get a Latin-themed character next, for both male and female! Latin culture has so much to offer in terms of clothing, items, buildings and such. ????

  • CrescentCrescent Posts: 333

    Woot!  I really wanted some Indian characters.  Hopefully his female counterpart is just around the corner.

  • AllenArtAllenArt Posts: 7,175

    I LOVE this character and I definitely want  him. Been wanting an East Indian male for a loooong time. Having to think about the bundle tho. The clothes are nice and the hair too, but as usual, I really dislike the added characters. Normally that wouldn't preclude me from buying a bundle, but because this isn't the greatest of offers it makes a difference this time. Think, think, think....

    The eyebrows and some of the expressions suggest Shahrukh to me, but the overall effect to me is more shorter Amitabh Bachchan (as a young man) meets taller Shahid Kapoor.

    Man, this guy is drool worthy. Haven't been this enthusiastic about a Pro Bundle in ages.

  • N-RArtsN-RArts Posts: 1,603

    Very handsome. I would've definitely bought him. But (yet again) it's come at the wrong time (we had to take our cat to the v.e.t. yesterday). 

  • SpottedKittySpottedKitty Posts: 7,232

    Looks good, and I've put him on my wishlist for later. And it is very nice to (finally!) see a sale offer again that isn't locked in to only applying if you buy the Pro bundle.

    But... all these sale offers need me to buy other bits and bobs as well. The lowest cart total I was able to come up with (including the extras) is more than I can afford to pay for my usual weekly cart. No can do. Wishlisted for now, though; there'll be another time.

    Try him with a white beard and mustache for an Amitabh Bachchan vibe !

    I love this model- and he has Raiya's name on him! Very nice to get the HD free. I wish Raj or Arji were in the bundle- they are both gorgeous.

    So will the HD be in one's downloads if one buys the bundle? It's not listed on the store page. I can't put it in the cart.

    it was listed in the discription of the pro bundle at top of page, as a link. Is it gone? Or here: https://www.daz3d.com/sanjay-8-hd-add-on

    Also I'm showing the price of the pro as 66.13 if in the cart by itself, but the total at bottom of cart page reads 69.14. (??) guessing prices a haven't settled yet (mod)?

    Does it show an amount for tax? DAZ just started charging sales ta in some additional states.

    Welcome to the club.  I've been paying tax to DAZ for years now.  It sucks.

    And just a polite FYI, the wedding outfit is not fantasy or a costume. It would be worn for formal occasions- the way some men wear a tux. I have Indian friends and family who do wear it, sans the headgear and slippers. Thank you Daz and PA's!

    check his hands in this image..they look near real - or real.

    thats a shame, if you did it with one of the female characters I wouldn't give a hoot but I simply cannot buy him now as my root filled drains and dodgy electricity with earth leakage problems  take priority sad

    I dislike the policy of pulling hd morphs  after a release. Hd morphs provides crucial details of a character’s signature look. Not allowing future buyers to purchase that seems short sighted.

    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 with you on this one (and "fantasy" is the only way I would classify the Alpha Male and Wanderer outfits in the Pro Bundle, too) although dForce doesn't vex me as much as it does you.

  • davesodaveso Posts: 7,749

    dfarce .. i get a bunch that just blow up into a wad of polygons. its probably me though..they don't just work out of the box without adjusting some parameters and stuff ... at least whaT i'VE FOUND.

    He looks awesome!

  • benniewoodellbenniewoodell Posts: 1,999

    Yeah, I agree with the dislike of pulling the HD morph. I don't know if I'll financially be able to get the pro bundle, heck even just the character himself, these next two weeks and it's sad to think that because life gets in the way, I'm probably going to miss out on something I otherwise would have gotten at some point.

    Yeah, I think too that pulling the HD morph is a real silly notion. Are we going to be making HD morphs a "collectors item" from now on? I mean, what exactly is the logic behind it? I'll be darned if I can see any. Seems like the only thing it accomplishes is to penalize people who didn't (or couldn't) buy the character when he was first released.

    I think it's to prompt people to go ahead and pull the trigger during the introductory period, rather than waiting for a better deal down the road, but it is hard to sympathize with DAZ's POV on this.

    If that's the case, I can think of much better ways of getting people to "pull the trigger" than this. LOL :P

    I'm sorry, but that is a terrible idea. That means this character will lose significant value for future sales potential once this offer expires. It really stings the people unable to purchase him immediately, and this kind of policy leaves a seriously bad taste in customer's mouths. It also does a disservice to the PA who designed the HD morph. As only the people who buy in this short time span will ever see it.

    If I was the person who took the time to scuplt the HD add on, I would not be happy about how it got treated.

    Please reconsider this. It sets a terrible precedent moving forward. This is not the direction I want to see Daz Studio go in.

    I sprained my 'trigger' finger during the MM sale. I'm waiting for it to heal, so I'm sitting this one out.

    Strange fact... Sanjay 8 ($22.03) + HD ($0) + PlatClub coupon ($6 off) = $18.85 ... Only $3.18 off.
