It looks interesting. Can't see all of it yet, but the site is just changing over so...

and the bundle discount is about $5 compared to the (current) item prices. Not too convincing...
Why to put a female character in a male bundle ? No male content is included in the female bundles.
Honestly Daz won't force me to purchase Female content that I will never use.
Because of that I skip this one.
On Nico's Product Library page, when you fold out the description, there is the following line: For additional savings, check out Niko 8 Starter Bundle and Niko 8 Pro Bundle.
Is this a mistake on the Product Library page (cut and paste from when we still had Starter and Pro bundles), or are these items yet to come?
Sounds like an error. Daz should lead with those first, then drop the cyber bundles.
if you click one banner away you see the next one
Niko 8 comes with the HD Details? Yes, let's continue this trend, please!
I'm assuming they're a cut and paste error from previous Daz O characters. Would be nice if that kind of thing was cleared up though.
Judging from the "What's Included and Details", it looks like that's just going to be those weird cyber scars, and not the complete full body morph. Although, in that case, I wonder how his full body morph would even work. More or less the way it did for Nix, I suppose.
Did they just change the discount for the assets inside the Niko 8 Supercharged Cyber Bundle? Now I only have 65% on the only missing asset, while I was getting a 75% discount in the morning. Now, I have even less motivation to buy anything today. Again, a sale where loyal buyers are penalized.

The Niko 8 Cyber Funk Bundle is way too expensive. I think, from now on, I will stop being "a loyal Genesis 8 Bundle Collector".
Supercharged, in all means of the word.
P. S. Cyber Neon is the only missing asset of the bundle.
I am gonna largely echo what Noah said. I understand, us Guys Only people are the minority. All the more reason for us to speak up, I guess.
The whole thing is kind of lackluster. I don't buy "catwalk style" anything... because if it looks like some "designer's" idea of haute cuture, count me out. One outfit has some impressive shoes, but that night club does not scream William Gibson to me.
This is not quite Dain 8 level disaster, but I feel like its close. Both bundles have a chick in them. Other than buying the new Vicky when she comes out to see what the next generation has in store.... I buy chicks when they cost me a couple of bucks ($1.99) or they come free.
I like Niko but hate the new bundle deals. Male pro bundles were one of the few times I could buy male only stuff.
and now the kitchen sink approach of throwing in females, props, sets, and previous items into a bundle, just is disappointing.
My question is tomorrow will we get the hd, and more male content or is this all she wrote? Oh and I would love more cyber punk content. A reaistic cyber arm would be awesome. The Artek which I own already is disappointing chunky and primative.
$32.23 for 5 items ? I paid $33.53 for 8 items with Kjaer 8 Blacksmith Bundle.
I like Niko 8 , I will get this product later.
It's probably a Starter bundle today . Maybe tomorrow there will be another bundle.
Full price comparision:
Scar 8 Pro Bundle $134.95, 12 Items = $11.25 per Item
Niko 8 Cyber Funk Bundle $93.95, 5 Items = $18.79 per Item
Buying charcter bundles (and grab some bonus items you don't really need because of the cheap bundle price) is getting pointless.
I have almost every pro bundle, but I'll stop right here and think about getting the base figure only.
Scar 8 Starter Bundle $89.95, 6 Items = $14.99 per Item
My assumption is we get the HD morphs tomorrow. They've done that for the last 6 months or so. Day 1 is the base figure and and a couple of new items plus old items cobbled together to make a "bundle".
Day 2 gets you the HD morphs and other characters.
I've learned to skip the hype and impulse to buy day 1 when the figure is impressive (and Niko is), and buy day 2 when I can get both the base figure and the HD details at a better price.
This is probably the reason, why I've never chosen the starter bundle. ;-)
... and even then 20% more expensive per item.
Older pro bundles didn't contain sets, so comparing to another of the themed bundles would be more accurate.
Mine changed too. No sale.

Female crap included in this is likely a hard pass from me.
Unless they start including male content in female-centric bundles, yeah no.
I'm starting to wonder if the current daz strategy on these is to shrink the bundles and up the prices to see what the market will bear.
This is the first time their recycled content bundle would cost me more than just buying what I don't have. And since that's all older items I passed up earlier, it would take a spiffy discount to make me jump on them.
There are only five items in this base content bundle, and I can't get it discounted much lower in the cart than I've had old real pro bundles discounted. (For instance, this August, Honni 8 pro cost me 37.04, not counting any gift card discounts; this is ringing up at 32.23, with five items to Honni's 12. The types of items are relevant, yes... but not that relevant.)
I don't personally object to the more varied bundles, but if they're not deals..... eh.
I also got the banner but I have ALL the items in that bundle...
all I'm seeing at DAZ anymore are higher prices, discounts that don;t work, plus really slow web site. New store has made no improvements to the problems ongoing that I can see. Maybe its easier to correct on the DAZ end. The new bundle arrangements are way too expensive.
I do like the stuff in this Funk bundle ..other than the main character. How many huge male characters are needed?
