    Yep, just appeared at the top for me, was just about to post about it suddenly appearing...

    It was already working in my cart though ($30 off each category), so that's good.

    I REALLY Like this bundle.

    Has that "Eurospy" vibe, plus it's a more mature character.

    I didn't get a purple banner, so it's a bit pricey

    I want to buy it, but I'm going to wait on the female version, that will hopefully be next.

    Money is tight & uncertain, so I'm sadly going to hold off on Dasan 8, which would have been an insta-buy in better times.

    Kudos to the artists for their expert work.

    Completely understandable.  Priorities!

    There's no extra discount with the purple banner I received btw, just a doubling of the amounts applied to 'bonus items'.

    One interesting side effect of these kind of sales is that I keep finding stuff that I didn't know I needed.  Like the PTF Grungy Threads...

    $46.29 is relatively steep for a new Pro Bundle, that's for sure, but he's a really great character.

    Judging from the Pro Bundle contents, Dasan is evidently being marketed as effeminate, what with CDI's poses and expressions, the loud colours of the Q Suit, the flaming MoonAge Outfit, and the inexplicable Duncan Hair.

     

    That hair.  I have no words.  NONE... well maybe a few.  Naw, you all know what a pro hairdresser like myself would say to a hairstyle like this.  But the Wave style is really really nice!  Just saying!

    Anyone else thinking that

    is really bad? Looks like from a computer game

    The hair makes no sense for this character. It might look a little better on Yuzuru.

    Aside from that, the strands on the side look pretty bad, like something from the original Genesis era.

    Does anyone else think that Dassan and Jonathan's eyes are too close together or is it just me?

    I think it's an artistic choice. For me, it works for Dasan who's not supposed to be particularly attractive. I couldn't stand it on Jonathan.

    Am I missing something? Pro bundle and three add ons came to $71. I love the base character for its realism but everything else is redundant other than the retro spacesuit. I would suggest the PAs stop creating new characters and think more in terms of creating bundles with clothing and accessories. A knight bundle. Mad scientist laboratory bundle. Haunted house bundle. Farmer bundle. Mountain man bundle. I don't need an overpriced face I need scenes and stuff to go with it.

    Just remember with various morph packs, it can be trivial to adjust things like eye placement to your taste.

    Can someone screen cap this purple banner cause I think I am not seeing it.

    I love the new release, some of the clothes are very unique and out of the usual, only this hair, sorry, Propschick, but we had better looking hair with Poser4 already! And it doesn't seem to fit to anything. 

    Otherwise I love the Pro Bundle and that MoonAge outfit is hilariously cool. laughcool

  • Oh noes...why does the purple banner with quite some discounts pop up *AFTER* I bought the Dasan-8 Pro Bundle? sad

    Please open a sales support ticket, explaining that you missed out on some of your potential freebies as the banner was late in appearing. https://www.daz3d.com/help/help-contact-us

    Done. Thanks a lot for the tip!

    I see where I misread it. I didn't see 15 per category. I thought 75 daz originals for purchase of bundle, extra 15 if you bought the addons. That basically disenchanted a purchase of a pro bundle I wouldn't even use. Sorry for the confusion on my part.
  • He's got a good face. Reminds me of Zaeed Massani in Mass Effect.

    The Q Suit and the Moon Age Suit are fantastic. Duncan Hair just does not fit the rest. If I can salvage it for more realistic-style renders, I'd be more willing to use it on G8F (almost reminds me of the fabulous Nydo hair).

    Many items are discounted more than normal in the "free" sections, which amplifies the free stuff effect. This wasn't always the case with the previous similar discounts.

    Oh, it's the first time in a while that I actually like some of the clothing.  I have two sets and their texture sets in my cart as well as the Wave Hair.  Moonage and Q Suit are both very nice.  Moonage is just funky future and the suit is set up with one closed and one open jacket load. I think that's brilliant.  No D'Force which is interesting but I guess D'Force might really mess with the collars.

    Great character. I usually only buy for the skins, as I morph the bejeesuz out of my characters, and Dasan's textures are really amazing. No brainer purchase for me. The cost for all the items I wanted was remarkably cheaper if I bought the Pro Bundle. Though I didn't like everything in the bundle itself, I couldn't resist the purple banner deal of $30 off from 5 different categories by buying 3 add-on purchases. I could hardly get my cart out of the door.

    POST EDIT - Is anyone getting a funky eyelash thing going on with Dasan 8. Both the HD and regular version of him have these flat black cardboard strips for eyelashes when you render him? Just wondering if i should re-install him?

    POST POST EDIT - Had to reapply the iray eyelash material to the character, but straight out of the box it looked like the material was not applied. But all fixed now, but odd. This is the first time I have run across this.

    I like this set. Wave hair looks good. The outfits look quite retro. Can't play until tonight but fun times.

    I'm not getting the purple banner. (tried different 100% cookie clean browser already)

    Couple weeks ago did not get the free $10 gift card.

    I'm starting to feel discriminated crying

    Unfair! The MoonAge Outfit doesn't count as an Add-On, though I'm not surprised. It's the only product I liked from this because of how different it is. I'll guess I'll have to do a bit of cart juggling, so I could pick it up. If not, into the wishlist it goes.

    Oh, don't feel alone -- I'm not getting these either! heart It does feel a bit rubbish, but sure it would seem fair if we understood the qualifying details.

    As Richard suggested earlier, just open up a support ticket explaining the situation, they are usually more than understanding and will probably accomodate you.

    It's funny how different people tastes are. A lot of people like the retro space suit and the moonage outfit. For me those are what is making me hesitate from buying it. Those and the hairs.

    It was giving $30 off even in the morning.

    For some of us it's still not giving $30 off, @Ati, and there is no banner offer appearing either, so this is definitely an additional discount that isn't being offered for everyone in a consistently way 

    Perhaps they're looking at the analytics and not seeing as much buy in with the Dasan release offer as they'd like, so they're steadily extending this additional discount to small groups of users throughout the day to see if that'll bump things up. It would make sense if they're doing this that they'd start by putting the additional offer out to long term, consistent users Daz first rather than newer users like myself.

  • Yeah, not feeling this one. I think, as many have already pointed out, the problem is with the hair. It just looks...cheap.

  • ok something doesn't make sense at the very top of the sales page it says "Get An Extra 30% Off Dasan 8 Pro Bundle " "PLUS $75 Worth Of Free Select DazOriginals"

    under that Buy 1 add on with Pro get 10% plus $5 of DO, Buy 2 get 20% + $10 DO, Buy 3 or more get 30% off and $15 of DO

    Purple Banner is exactly the same as above Because of your previous purchases of Genesis 8 Pro Bundles, we're offering you: 

    Buy 1 add on with Pro get 10% plus $5 of DO, Buy 2 get 20% + $10 DO, Buy 3 or more get 30% off and $15 of DO - and replaces all other discounts - which is exactly the same 

    But what of the $75 worth of DO there is no other mention of it but at the top of the page and is better than the purple banner

    ok so I can't afford to buy anyway but still thought bring this up

    Character actor! Another in the fine collection of G8 character actors. And looks like a very good one, too. The base character and the HD add-on are no-brainers.

    The bundle? Kind of underlines the general impression that there simply isn't any male stuff. It rather looks like someone went through trunks and closets to find enough to make a bundle out of and threw it all together at random.

    Well, no, that's a mistatement. Actually it looks like we've got half of a retro SciFi bundle (with an anime hair), and two random outfits from a modern contemporary collection and a fine replacement for the old Plat club 1930s suit (with thoroughly goofy testures). Except that the base character isn't really a match for any of those, apart from possibly the suit.

    If they did this tto a female character, I'd say mutton dressed as lamb.
