Well, new girl is online although the products do still have to load. Looks like a mix of Eva, Penny, Gia and others to me.

JAPWG (Just another pretty white girl) and the usual repeats of old, OLD, OLD offerings. (Sigh)
And there's not a single thing in the Pro bundle or the add ons that improve on anything I already have, so I'm outa' here.
Well from the promos she's more the age of Alexandra, so another pretty white woman ;-)
I've still got nothing but swirlies, although I can get to the store page of the Mousso character that seems to be a loss leader.
Not unattractinve, any of the promos that are visible. Don't get much of an impression of any theme. But themed releases haven't really been the way they've been arrangeing things lately.
Nope.
I could see her being a useful bundle for newer people, as she offers a variety of sensible contemporary stylings, with a bit of variation in the characters, but I don't think she offers that much to existing customers; and she's combined with a fairly uninspiring deal (a fair percentage off with the purple banner, but a not very generous knapsack deal... which at least isn't split into five tiny categories, I guesss...)
If I get her, I think I'm likely to wait for a big discount down the line. (Although that may depend on whether any other offers stack nicely with her over the next few days).
Seriously? She's obviously intended to be in in her late thirties/early forties and the texture work has the right degree of weathering and age spotting to show for it - there's some really great but subtle line work around the edge of the mouth and eyes, and her eyes have the right degree of puffiness. Better yet, both of the hair sets included in her Pro Bundle are a bit on the frazzled side to tie in with the Soccer Mom look, the outfits are actually age appropriate with no skimpwear to be seen anywhere and even one of the pose sets is something practical instead of the usual modeling shots. Overall I think she's one of the most natural looking females DAZ has ever produced and the bundle is actually well thought out, so she was going in my cart even before I got a purple bar offer.
Edit - looking at the HD add on now - couldn't see it in the normal promos since it was always covered, but they've given her just a bit of a middle age spread and stretchmarks. ZsaZsa seems to be the only real deviation from the soccer mom theme
Well, I like, that she looks female.
I'm kind of surprised/impressed by the age range of the characters. Zsazsa looks like she could be the adult daughter of Jenni or Paula.
Nice assortment of modern stuff. The default pattern for dForce Soccer Mom is perhaps just a touch on the nose.
I'll get her some day, but deals are not convincing for a black friday sale, even with purple banner.
sorry for very raw image.... haven't slept in nearly 3 days... that time of year and all that! Hope everyone likes June for Jenni! I may have gone a bit overboard on the soccer thing but she's also a fresh faced darling :) This is June with Jenni dialed out, so its just June's shape.
?
"867-5309/Jenny" was a 1981 pop song performed by Tommy Tutone, and apparently still very irritating to people unlucky enough to have that as their phone number.
Alas, the purple banner discount seemed super enticing up until you get to explore it and see how they separate things out. It's been a super long time since you pick up a new Pro Bundle and smuggle an extra discounted one as the freebie.
I agree. For me, the excitement ended when I saw that I had ZERO "Select Genesis 8 Male Items" available to purchase at 70% off. I got a feeling of regret for overspending already.
Alexandra and a few others already fit the soccer mom niche so I'm not sure why they made another... I do like ZsaZsa and the hairs, but the offer, even with the purple banner, is not that enticing.
Same here and the purple banner only brings Jenni 8 Pro down to about $40 ($39.68) with no extra discounts being available. There is nothing there I really need; so, it will be the first Pro 8 bundle I've passed on.
I'd love to see ZsaZsa and Zilpha without Jenni dialed in.
Jenni is nicely done but just doesn't stand out, nor does her bundle. I already have similar items for most of what's offered and I have all of the male items that the purple banner is offering at 70% off. Even with the extra discount, what I'd get with the bundle is way more than I'd pay for the one or two items I actually want.
Hopefully we'll get some male and/or "melanin-enriched" bundles soon.
I's funny how two people can think the exact same thing, and one feel its a positive, and the other it's a total negative, lol! Spot on description
...but definitely not the character type I want to use in my free time. Then again, there are those who are going to make wonderful renders of her, I bet!
Zsa Zsa is a stand alone character, Jenni 8 is not in its required products.
I was wondering about that. Is it maybe a mistake that Jenni's not showing as required? I kind of like Zsazsa, but I'm lukewarm on Jenni.
Generic, forgetable, and proof that Daz isn't even trying anymore.
Anyone else get an installation error?
EDIT: SOLVED - fixed with product update to glute control
That's odd. Normally every character in a bundle requires the bundle base. Hopefully this isn't a mistake on the product page.
When I first saw the deal I though it was free stuff to get people to buy more later on, but then I saw you need to buy bundles and was a bit sad.
