$60 For a Genesis 9 Character? Ouch

$60 for a Genesis 9 character? This is what Daz wants to establish as their standard price for the new generation? Wow.

I remember the G2 and G3 times when a new core character was something exciting. They were priced a bit above PA characters but often pushed the envelope and brought something new to the table. For G8 that trailed off and their line became just another PA, despite Daz raising the typical price of their "core" characters.

And now this jump for G9. 60 bucks. Shake my head.

Yeah, there will sales but that was true for any of the previous generations too.

    That's the base price for preordering V9 HD, there's no guarantee it will be the price for all future core characters.

    Beside, base price for G2, G3 and G8 core characters was already $45, and G3 and G8 HD add-ons were separate with a base price of $40. If the HD add-on is included with the core figure (which seems to be the case since they're refering to "V9 HD"), it's not that surprising that the base price increases.

    It was basically one of the highlights presented by Jay Versluis in the preview session that with G9 there is no separate HD anymore. HD is always included as a morph set.

    Thanks for confirming this. I've not seen the preview video yet, live session started too late my time.
