Milton the sidekick bundle

Is it just me but i feel this bundle doesn't fit at all.

Dont get me wrong as a character milton looks great The hair also looks nice.

But together as a sidekick for sukai it completely misses its mark.
I mean the clothing is fine for any chatracter but this bundle as a bundle seems to be a real miss.

    Sounds like they trying to be funny! Tiny Lady hero, Older Man Sidekick! LOL! I get the joke!

    This is probably the weakest of the the three recent bundles in my opinion, really liked the villian one, only going to get the Jerry Jang outfit from this one

    I think Milton is the male counterpart to Jane 8 - a supposedly teen character who looks 30+.

    They should've used a Thorne boy instead. They don't even try with this one.

    What doesn't make sense is that the bundle includes the Black Turtle, which is only one of the four holy beasts guarding the realm in Chinse lore.  The same PA has already done scarlet phoenix and white tiger, which are not included inthe bundle, but has yet released the cyan dragon.

    I'd recommend putting together a test cart and taking a look.  Having purchased the other bundles and by including another debut new release, the Sidekick bundle is $12.76 in my cart and triggers a 20 percent off a gift card.

    Can somebody explain this to me,,

    The Milton the Sidekick Bundle requires 3 other bundles per the requirements on the page, the Jonathan 8 Pro Bundle, the Moriah the Conjurer Bundle and the Walk the Plank Bundle.

    Yet if you go to the pages of the 5 items I see in the bundle, only one of them require anything and that is because it is a texture set. What am I missing here?

    We believe this is in error and have reported it. If you read the Report This thread, we try to catch problems there.

    Milton the Sidekick Bundle

    Install Types: DazCentral

    Hmm, I'm sure DAZ would love everyone to use DAZ Central, but I'm happy with DIM thanks.

    At a guess, that's another case of "related products" ending up in the spot for "required products".

    That means there was a problem uploading install files, even with DazCentral you couldn't install iit.

    Didn't notice that you had to use DAZ Central for Milton the Sidekick Bundle. Downloaded DAZ Central and the bundle is not showing in my list of assets. What's happening?

  • mwokeemwokee Posts: 1,275
    I see nothing wrong with Milton if it's something you can use but the marketing is a bit off. Milton and Sukai look more like father and daughter. We need a wife, boy, and baby so we can complete the Incredibles superhero family. There you go, PAs. A superhero baby. Something new, fresh, and original.

    Actually it should probably say see individual products - bundles don't really have an install type, unless they include bonus content. It looks as if the products are not properly associated with the bundle, we have reported this so with luck it will be fixed fairly quickly once they are "in the office".

    Has anyone played cart Jenga with the three bundles in your carts yet, for those that haven't bought any of the bundles yet?  The 30% off deal sounds kinda nice, wondering how it breaks down, but am busy atm/haven't tried it myself as of yet.

    Note that I have two 20% off purple banners, that apply to each of the first two bundles respectively.

    I am not happy with the Bundle deals changing every day. They used to last quite some days before. Now it feels like theyre only getting worse from day to day while being technically flawed in so many ways (math, wrong bundle content, download issues) that even loyal customers have a hard time deciding on anything the first day.

    In the end, for our wannabe-superheros this today comes down for me (and probably many of us) to $91-$20=$71 für the 3 Bundles + 2 AddOns compared to yesterdays $81-$30=$51 without the Milton Bundle. So in the end the Milton Bundle comes in at an additional $20 and it makes little sense to buy less because of the discount stacking. Having particularly little use for the Milton bundle, this makes it quite difficult for me to buy anything from this stack at all.

    Not to mention the limited choice of AddOns, the Bundle structure (say reusable items like hair) or individual item quality ... and the  "BYO fastgrab" that got worse and went away ...

    I'm not much into sidekicks. I like that this character looks older.

    Jerry Jang always does awesome work and his Black Turtle outfit is no exception. It doesn't seem to fit in here, though.

    I may put together a test cart to see if I can make it worth picking up.

    I was hoping for an Asian male character similar in age and style to Sukai. Perhaps by Mousso. Also add-on characters and outfits that use the base to create noble or impish male fae.

    Not slamming the content or creators here, but this is definitely not what I wanted from a Sukai counterpart.

    But it is "Milton HD" not "Milton 8"... so perhaps there's still hope... ?

    White Tiger, Red Phoenix, Black Turtle, and Green Dragon could be the core of a "Power Ranger" bundle, with a male and female character pair in a single bundle... and with mechs/Zords/robots!

    Maybe some highly-customizable NG-style plug suits, too.

    Maybe the older male character should have been 'the mentor' that guides the young hero, then dies or steps away to allow them to excel? Think of Wolverine and Jubilee. And if you need Wolverine there is James already.

    I do think that Emrys did a nice job with Milton.

    Are the required products list accurate for the Milton bundle?

    Think Stargirl and Stripesy (STRIPE) age and general appearance aren't far off.

    Hmm. still not showing up in DAZ Connect or DIM.

    Thanks - that makes sense - the individual products have all the download options but don't show as purchased when bought via bundle, so it's definitely in need of that magic touch when the office opens, hehehe.

    Well, I wanted the Black Turtle outfit for a Super Sentai group.

    The bundle is $12.76 for me, with the discounts from the other bundles. All the other stuff besides the Black Turtle is just extra stuff I'm getting in addition to the armor... so yeet!

    (Yes, Green Dragon is at Rendo.)

    You don't. That's an error on the product page.

  • MarcCCTxMarcCCTx Posts: 926

    It's been a couple of hours has anyone seen this product? DIM or DC?

  • Serene NightSerene Night Posts: 17,680

    I wanted a couple of  items in the bundle. It was cheaper to buy it than to buy alacarte.

    Milton isn't in the same style as the Thorne character, so it is safe to assume it is another marketing ploy. I like superheroes though, and took them up on this offer.

  • JabbaJabba Posts: 1,460

    Progress, ladies and gentlement...  now linked to each product page, so items show as purchased - DIM downloading now, hehehe
