CJ reminds me of Ophelia 7 in terms of appearance just 10cm shorter.

Been waiting for a core G8F female with a bit extra muscle tone for some time.

Will be picking up the Pro Bundle plus a few add ons to take advantage of the extra 30% discount.

    not a good deal. just 5 up to $20 free daz originals, instead of the usual 50 to 100. sad

    cj8 is with $46 additional an expensive new g8 figure. in many cases it's just $39.

    I skip this figure and get it maybe later with a better deal. or not frown

    She looks like Olivia Wilde.

    The link for CJ 8 goes to the main page...   Hope it gets fixed soon. I need something to distract me from the fact that we just had a very jollty earthquake here in L.A.!

    I'm a bit confused. The main promo images shows her as a fantasy warrior and some kind of sci-fi dystopian character. No such outfits though in neither the bundles nor the add-ons. And among the add-ons there are two texture sets for outfits that doesn't appear to have been released yet.

    And yes, I agree the $20 (banner offer) of free DOs is weak compared to many previous character releases. I think I'll sit this one out.

    The "buy the base" button works for me to get to the product page.

    Finally was able to see her using the link from the OP. I don't like her jawline at all. Very masculine jaw and chin. Her mouth seems too close to her nose and the space to her chin is too large... The mix with Edie is kind of interesting though. Still looking over the rest of the bundle and addons to see whether it's worth it, the offer even with purple banner seems weak...

    yeah, i hope it's just a "bug" because it's feel a little "scammy", selling a "texture for a product which not was released yet and i agree about get a "pro bundle" character which his "main promo pictures are not part of the product, is really weird.

    For me the links to CJ8 and all adjacent pages worked from the beginning (more than 30 minutes now).

    I like CJ8 and some of the clothes that come with her but the bundle as a whole is kind of meh.

    I don't like the 2 additional characters at all, nor the hairs.

    Maybe a better offeer to combine with this one is coming as well. At the moment, it's very expensive to get a so and so pack.

    The outfit from the main promo and banner have been in the store for quite a while already.

    She mixes well with others. I just looked at the base character (which i could only get to by clicking on the button in the 'Buy the Base' section), and haven't been through the rest of the bundle. Nothing in it made me go "wow" at first sight. Not that things that make me go "wow" are necessarily things that actually get *used*...

  • Link on main page is not working.

    The Link in the PRO Bundle to the main character is wrong https://www.daz3d.com/cj-6
    If you replace cj-6 with cj-8, you get to the right place.

    Other links in the Pro Bundle lead to nowhere as well.

    Honestly, I think that the base character isn't bad, but resembles a bit to Ophelia. The add-ons in the Prop Bundle are not remarkable, except Michaela, which has some quite unique texture options.

    I also wonder about the new texture set for the dForce Fantasy Cape Outfit, which doesn't exist. Maybe this should have been part of the Pro Bundle as well.

    Daz should definitely review this release. They seem to have acted quite hasty.

  •  she reminds me Olivia Wilde pretty much.

    Pro Bundle with 3 add-ons (including HD add-on) plus $6 platinum club coupon took the total price down to $67 USD.

    CJ herself looks quite interesting - I do like the look of her. The bundle is kinda....I think there are less items this time around that I like than in other bundles. The rockyshoo dforce outfit looks cool - what I can see of it anyway, as the link goes nowhere. And I do like the jacket in the "sophisted jacket" outfit. The double dutch braids are really nice. The Pippa hair looks absolutely dreadful - is it the transmaps that make it look so bad? 

    The bloodoath textures in the add ons...well, can't find the original outfit for them, and while the textures are interesting, the outfit itself looks like Every Daz Original outfit ever, since Genesis 2. Dull as dishwasher. Fantasy cape textures - nice textures, interesting looking outfit, but again, nowhere to be found. 

    Other than the base CJ, there's only three items that I am interested in, in the bundle. I'm not sure whether it's worth the money to get the whole thing. The poses are good ones, can always use more, so they generally never go to waste.

    This will be the first Pro bundle I will skip since I am PC+. Even if the two fantasy dresses will eventually appear inside the bundle. I do not like the jaw bone line of her, and the supplement chars are not much better. Aside of the nice Double Dutch Braids the other hairs look kind of retro (Genesis 2 or even older). Playtime Chills I would not even add as a freebie in my cart. The other clothes look indeed really good, but the overall offer is not that good to buy the whole bundle to get four maybe six (if the fantasy dresses are part of the bundle) assets. And the twenty bucks for old assets are not tempting at all. Sorry @DAZ and the PAs, for my honesty.

    The Pro bundle doesn't appear to be very good value considering all I want in it is Michaela HD.

    I'm not really convinced by the style of the outfit itself, but the shoes and accessories can be useful.

    It's a poor second and redundant when compared to previous bundles. On top of that, it's probably the most expensive. But good god, I love Michaela which is in the pro bundle. Very realistic. That should have been the base character, not the store mannequin.
  • So, there are clearly a bunch of hyperlink problems this morning. I cannot see the RockyShoo outfit at all. I just get sent back to the DAZ homepage when I try to look. Also, the two outfits I’m most interested in don't have texture add-ons, which is a bit weird formitems in the pro-pack (RockShoo and XFasion Sophisticated). I’m going to check back in later this morning and see if this is all fixed. Fingers crossed!

  • The Blood Oath outfit textures are for what now? I'm in a fantasy mood, but I do not see the outfit...

    Many new product links lead to the main page, today

     

    Well, let's look at the bright side: it's a new way to save money. laugh

    Considering Ophelia 7 was my favourite character for genesis 3, I jumped when I saw the character... only to realize, that none of the characters come even close to what Brenna for Ophelia 7 did for last gen. Also not terribly impressed by anything in the bundles. Meh.

  • With all the morphs I already have I feel I could dial this character up, make an equivalent mat,  and save some money. 
     

    Actually, that's what I'm going to do. 
     

    (Admittedly my attempts at modelling clothing have been a disaster so credit to those that have the skill!)

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,704

    Nice character. I don't think her chin looks masculine or her mouth is too high at all. She's almost  got a Retro Starlet look to her.

  • NorthOf45NorthOf45 Posts: 5,687

    All the links in the "What's Included and Features" section near the bottom of the CJ 8 Pro Bundle page are functional, except for CJ 8 link, which is defined as "CJ-6"

    I agree with everything you've said, except I like the main character more or less and Michaela looks pretty nice. Other than that, the hair is awful, the clothes are just ok, except for that one outfit that is just so silly and goofy looking that I almost thought it was a joke. IF I get anything of this character it'll be just the base, the HD and Michaela.

    Wth a quick glance I saw the short "C" name followed by "8" in the email and for a brief moment I thought we were finally getting "Cat 8". On the bright side, more money saved at least.

  • WendyLuvsCatzWendyLuvsCatz Posts: 40,005

    I wonder what CJ's actual given name is?

    She must dislike it since abbreviating it, her parents probably called her something obnoxious.

  • I was so excited when I saw the render on top of the sales page, I thought: Finally a probundle for me. I havent bought a probundle in a looong while, but not beacause I don't want to, because there usually is non at all or just one or two items I want in them. Very dissapointing.

    That render looks a lot like a Lara Croft type of character to me, the clothes I mean, a tanktop and shorts, belts, even if she seems to be grabbing for a sword instead of a gun. I recoginised the belts as a product I already own, but I thoght there must be similar outfits in the bundle, but no...

    Well I'm saving lots of money atleast....
