Characters missing from DAZ G8 Base Figures list

I normally use https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-core-figures as a quick check, but I just noticed that at least the last four base characters 

Jan Carlos 8

Topsy 8

Drutherson 8

Niko 8

were never added, and now I keep getting the feeling that some others may be missing as well.  Does anyone notice any others, besides Dog 8, not on the list?

    And, oddly, Tara and Underbelly are there.

    Yeah, which makes one wonder what kind of algorithm would included them but not the newer ones?  Or maybe it's all done to a lit that's created manually and someone just forgot to update?

    Maybe they are doing away with core figures? It is kinda of meaningless nowadays anyway.

    I put in a ticket about it after Juan Carlos' release. They acknowledged, said they'd pass on the request, and removed the ticket from my activities list. Core Figures aren't meaningless to me because they are among the finest morphs and skins available for G8. And I suspect they are top sellers for Daz most of the time.

    Dog 8 is not counted since it's non-human.

    Top seller is a relative term, though, as they almost certainly end up giving away as many copies as they sell via various promotions.  I've no idea how many times I've been offered a free V8 or M8 bundle as a sales incentive, but even at my most conservative guess, it's got to be well over a hundred times now.... and I'd say that at least half of my HD add-ons were picked us either freebies or just a few bucks.

     Well, they do seem to have done away with Pro Bundles at the moment, but the flood of Core Figures really hasn't slowed at all.  I suspect that the change was because it was getting really hard to turn out all the elements needed for a traditional Pro Bundle as quickly as was necessary, especially products that were actually configured to specific bases.  So, now we're getting themed bundles that can include a lot more random elements like sets, characters for G8F in a G8M set, etc.

    What the blip, Daz? Fix your page. It's been almost three months.
