    Not a fan of the 'tween hero/heroine' anime look (or genre) - teens are super irritating and super foolish already without giving them super powers!

    (and no, that is NOT just because I am 'old' - I thought that when I WAS a teen!!!)

    This made me laugh.

    I would stretch that age considerably. Give someone superpowers, and it bring the kid out of them.

  • Cute character, love her Asian roots!

    Unfortunately, yeah bundle deal is 'Meh', so off to the wishlist...  maybe in a few months if a killer deal shows up!

    Agree; just the character is (IMO) rediculously expensive; seriously $45 for a character.

    Before anyone says that there are discounts, Daz is claiming that character is worth $45. Otherwise the discounts are meaningless. That's my opinion at least.

    I added the bundle and two of the add-on, plus I got a 20% off offer and used my PC+ coupon, got the price of the bundle down to $36.77. I will make another order for the PC+ items I want today.

    Why do I want her? Well, I saw that promo and I immediately saw in my mind one of the characters in a story I edit. It sold me. The initial cost gave me pause, and my paws hit the floor, but then I played with the cart.

  • It's an instant pick up for all the characters for me easily, they all look fantastic.

    The deal overall is terrible. Add ons paultry. One needs you to have or buy another $22 product. Pricing very high but DAZ been headed that direction for awhile. The 70% deal fast grab not too bad. You can buy a pro bundle in there for $28.

  • So Jubilee from the xmen?

  • GordigGordig Posts: 10,187

    How is it pronounced? Soo or Suh, to rhyme with Kawaii or Hawaii?

    Pronouncing the letter U as "uh" is one of those things that, if not unique to English, is at least extremely uncommon in other languages.

    So Jubilee from the xmen?

    Not at all, unless she's just the only Asian superheroine you've ever heard of.

    Wow that was kinda rude. I don't know the yellow and hot pinkoutfits, pink energy beams. Scream jubilee.

    I wish they left the textures out and included SY's capes. I'm on the fence right now...

    Six pages of wishlist items from the fast grab and I can only choose five. Proof that Daz hates me.

    aaaaand the winner is, a Thorne made japanese superheroette...

    Thing #1 I do not have on my "needed things" list laugh

    Same....lol.

    Really Daz. The official G8 character releases are starting to border on the ridiculous ;).

    $59.13 for the bundle plus Bullets Blades and Bikes (which looks great) and SY Super Suits (not exactly my cup of tea, but only $2.80 more than buying SY Heroic Weaknesses, and probably more useful to me for some of the individual pieces - skirt, gloves, etc).

    I'd be paying in store credit, so the $20 credit tomorrow is essentially a discount, bringing the price to $39.13 total.

    Then the PC+ coupon brings it down to $33.13 - I prefer to use it early anyway so that I don't forget.

    That's tempting...

    Sukai looks good - the promos for the CDI pose pack really do a great job of selling the character.

    And the bundle has two (!) characters from Jessaii - Verity (with Raziel) and Masami (with DemonicaEvilius).

    Then there's TwiztedMetal knocking it out of the park with Cosma.

    Plus FeSoul serving up a non-dForce hair that looks good and can be used on both males and females.

    And then consider the outfits a bonus - a bit too similar to what's already available, but they still look pretty good...

    Yep - I'm sold on it.

    The lowest I could get the cost down to was $$56.33 for the bundle and 2 unwanted add-ons. That is a bit high especially during the PA sale and a little pricey for me.  I'm really on the fence with this one..Even with the $20 rebate that's $36 net cost.and I'm really disappointed with the very limited selection of add-ons as wellas some of the bundle items.

    I have every other bundle but this one is way to espensive for me right now and I don't see any extra value in getting her at this moment. $20 credit is just not enough of a draw and the choice of addons does not provide enough cheaper options to make it worth it. She is cute but I can wait

  • N-RArtsN-RArts Posts: 1,523

    Whatever happened to Pro Bundles?

    She's expensive, and, to be honest (and I'm probably the only one who feels this way), but I'd rather have $20 off the bundle, than $20 store credit.

    Plus, the purple banner that I have is giving me the same deal that is open to all other customers, "Buy Sukai 8 Superhero Bundle with 2 or more Add-On Items to get an EXTRA 20% OFF".

    I like her, but I'll pass.

    That's an extra 20% off the 20% off you're already getting.

    Let's see...fingerless gloves, pink tank, oversized yellow top, pink glasses, shorts, sneakers all worn by a dark-haired, short female? 

    If the Stardust Outift isn't a nod to her, I'll eat my hat.

    The pricing on the bundle is a clear invitation to cherry pick what one wants from it (if anything) and just let the rest pass by. 

    Really. A good third of the Pro bundles I own were bought because it was cheaper to buy the whole package than to opt for just the character and one or two add-ons. Definitely not this time.

    Admittedly, if I'd cherry picked from those earlier Pro bundles, I might be more inclined to pick up one or two of the add-on characters here. They are cute. But, like I say, I have way more female characters than I'm ever going to need.

    Looking back over the past few bundles, pricing for Sukai seems more-or-less similar to the others for me:

    $35.99 for Honni (Pro + 3 add-ons), after discounts.

    $33.20 for Holt (total for both bundles), after discounts, including a discount for owning Western Guns from the Honni bundle already.

    $39.13 for Sukai (with two add-ons, and not counting the PC+ coupon that I used), after discounts.

    Maybe it's the small number of add-ons for Sukai making her more expensive for some people? Honni could have been cheaper with a different choice of add-ons, but I selected for use and desirability rather than price.

    Or maybe some had better discounts for previous bundles (more owned items for example)?

    I don't know, but for me it seems right about the same in regard to price.

    *Honni did grant some insane discounts for PA items if you were so inclined.

    She's cute, but to me she doesn't really stand out amongst the many, many Asian female toon characters that are already available.

    She does seem to have a very nice skin, though. I like all the beauty marks.

  • Some good textures. Several superhero outfits.

    don't get me started on flying capes ...

    NO CAPES! Remember what happened to poor old Dollar Bill when his got stuck in the revolving door....

    Police originally wore capes. Zorro, argueably one of the first superheroes, wore a cape. Tradition trumps reality.

    without superpowers a cape is fine

    I initially said 'I only want about half of this bundle.'

    And then I ran the numbers and realized I'd still save $30 or so by doing the whole bundle thing (taking into account store credit thing, and banner). Well alrighty then.
