If one goes to Gods of Old Bundle, the page has no thumbnails for the clothing and the link leads to an "Oops page" because the address is wrong (uses "set" instead of "outfit")
Pity, I love Mousso's girls, but not enough to delve into this lottery of required unknown future purchases costing who-knows-how-much to get her.
This will be the 1st Mousso model I will not have because of the exclusive rolling daily purchase scenario. To say I am bitterly disappointed would be an understatement.
To make it exclusive for say 3 months I could live with - to miss out permanently really rubs me the wrong way (and yes I know I could get it if I bought all the daily purchse reqjuirements) but I simply do not have the money for that at this time.
Still no clear answer as to whether the Mousso character freebie is temporarily exclusive as a freebie before going on sale at some point in the future, or only available after the qualifying purchases before disappearing from the store permanently.
Ugh. The smashing success of the "Season Pass" returns, slightly altered and under another name.
Yet further along the Conditional Offers track. You can have our bargain item but only if you commit to spending more than you would want to on something you probably don't want anyway. Yet another scheme I can safely ignore.
Made me giggle.
+1
Gating a desirable item behind a requirement of purchasing more items that often repeat what is already in the store is exactly what helped me to decide not getting this new G8.1M character ever.
If this artificially scarce digital exclusive ever makes it to the store as a normal purchase, then I'll reconsider. Possibly.
There are limits how bordering hostile and contemptuous a company can be towards the customers.
I'll be livid if this is permanently exclusive, I don't want any of the other items so far.
I've paid a Daz+ subscription for several years and don't expect to be met with additional payment gateways and hoops to jump through.
I'd consider that predatory and a disrespectul way to be treated as a supposedly valued customer.
Put all the Demigod items in cart: approx $110 for everything. That's too much for me as the whole series equals more or less a Pro Bundle.
So my Mousso characters purchase count will stay at 129 of 142. Already far too much.
I'm not wild on the structure of this sale, and it's made myself personally not buy into anything in it. HOWEVER, I will say that I think it's very cool to still have all of the freebies of each day still available. So now that everyhting's released, you could go and buy everything and get what was probably once a full bundle.
After the last two releases, turned out that what I don't want from this bundle ends at under 40 bucks. So that was final price for Antheia for me. Pricey, but still not entirely unacceptable because Mousso characters come with HD morphs.
I can get her, but that's because Noa is cute, so is Manticore and the last armor comes with a nice Greek helmet different that thousandfold repeated Corinthian one.
It's not given that future promotions like this will always have bundles made of enough interesting items in them. Not the best promotional idea, really.
BTW, for more accuracy dForce Elegant Cocktail Outfit should be renamed to dForce Symposium Entertainer Outfit. It barely covers anything.
What does this chick even look like??? Are people seriously buying all of these items for a "freebie" that they do not even know what she looks like?
There are only a couple small pics of her on the page, but nothing to really get a good look at her. Mousso makes nice characters, but what if by chance this one isn't one the user is into? What if Anthenia is some kind of shotgun granny? Though I am sure some would be still happy with that, it may not be what most people want.
Either way, such limited time items really suck, regardless of how nice she may be.
TBH, I'm all for for "Hellenic" take on high fantasy, I don't care much for "Medieval" and "Viking" ones and the original Clash of the Titans is on my favorite movies list. Noa is surprisingly fun character (I mean surprisingly, because Hans bored me to near-death).
Enough items in the bundle were appealing to get the the less-appealing ones too and the character is a bonus.
But this idea of promotion is not the best one. This is bound to make a lot of people livid.
Unfortunately for them, Daz can't ever release the character without breaking a written promise to current buyers ("gone forever" - see attached).
More people have should complained the first time this happened, with the winter expansion for The Knight's Castle.
How do we get this character?
I bought all the bundle components and it said it would be added to our account on the first, and it's now the first but I don't see it anywhere?
They are still sleeping at DAZ HQ, its 4:19AM over there
I am glad I am not the only one who is wondering where the character is supposed to be. No Orange banner, Nothing in my products.
It is now 11:38 AM at Daz HQ, still not sign of the character in my product library.
Sure would be nice if someone from Daz would provide an update or even acknowledge that there is a problem.
It's nearly the 2nd now and still nothing...?
Well, glad to know I'm not alone in wondering where the heck it is.
Yes, I had convinced myself that it was just me, that maybe I'd missed one of the items (even though I'd checked and double- and triple-checked to be sure I'd actually purchased them all).
At least the timing of the stuff was great... I'd just started working on a Greco-Roman mythology art project, and was days away from starting the process of modeling some armor when this unbundled-bundle went on sale, so I probably saved myself days (or weeks, if it didn't go well) of building and testing armor. So, really, the free figure is just a bonus, not my end goal -- but that doesn't mean I'm not impatient to get it.
Legit still waiting as well

It's going to be tomorrow now, with apologies for the delay.
@Richard Haseltine
Thank you for the update. I was wondering about the new gal. :)
@Richard Haseltine
Thanks
Let me get this straight: At the same time DAZ fails to deliver or even provide any official update on a single item that they've had a few weeks to prepare for, they expect us to drop $30 for five mystery items to be delivered 3 days from now on a day that is both a Monday and a national holiday?
Ditto
I would think that will be simpler as it requires only a list of those who purchased the one product, not a list of those who purchased each of several products.
