Well I definitely would have purchased her if available but I wasn’t going to buy a bunch of historical male content I would never use to get it. I don’t know why they wouldn’t make her available to people who usually buy female content? They should have at least made it the “prize” for purchasing female content. I will never understand DAZ marketing.
Well, I did find use for the offered items, although some of the male items are really not the "best of breed". But that is mainly due to DAZ, really messing things up with all that "breakout" things.
But, given the usual quality of Mousso items, I think that Antheia is only "four star". It seems a bit "rushed". E.g. the character preset loads without any lashes material. Skin is a bit too - perfect? - for a Mousso character. Nice, but not spectacular. The shape is really good, though - as you would expect from Mousso.
If she's supposed to be either a goddess or an elf (the alternate ear morph), then near-flawless skin is very fitting. I don't know who was naming this character, but mythological Antheia was one of the three Graces. That makes her fit with the rest of the bundle. The face shape already is a good match.
Edit:
Although I do not think this exlusive unlock was driving the sales much. Majority of the sales probably happened because of Noa and more G8+M content. Some more probably because of the theme. There's a scarcity of renders of this figure, far fewer than of Noa. It's been only five days, but new shiny characters start appearing on renders much faster than that.
Richard said to include the purchase orders. I can't find the page that shows the requirements to get the new gal to do this. Is there a page I'm not seeing anymore?
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
Also Ditto.
That's exactly what I was thinking when I read the mystery box promo.
The Demigod Series debacle continues on. I had submitted support tickets and waited for days for the products I purchased to finally become available. Am I happy that I finally got all the products (except for Antheia)? Yep. Am I bitter about all the problems and hoops I had to jump through to get what I bought? Yes.
Whatever behind the scenes processes that let consumers purchase and receive items from the store in a trouble-free manner are certainly lacking. The store experience is very much lacking with respect to these bundles and does not inspire confidence for those types of purchases going forward.
Daz struggles to honor it's commitments to their consumers.

Sorry to say this is my experience as well.
Extreme disappointment.
As much as I appreciate the efforts of Richard H getting the message that 'it should appear in your library soon' (sic) and having to look to see if it is there is like waiting for the proverbial 'check in the mail'. Honestly tired of checking to see if it is there. Asking people to file tickets and provide order numbers is wrong as well. If they didn't have the capability to do this promotion as it was advertised they shouldn't have done it, full stop.
Hey everyone! We found what we think was the bug with the delivery of those exclusive items (in this case MSO Antheia HD for Genesis 8.1 Female).
I went ahead and did another round of deliveries for the character. If you were waiting to receive it, please check your account and if you don't see MSO Antheia HD for Genesis 8.1 Female (SKU: 86843) please reach out to customer service and we should be able to add it to your account manually.
Thanks!!

P.S. Keep your eye out for an announcement on Thursday. It might be of interest to some of your render competition fans ;)
I feel the sale incentive would have been better if Daz had put up some promo pictures rather than about 2 images and a blind buy temptation. It's a nice figure and I'd have totally purchased her without the extra male content. I passed as I didn't see more pictures of what she looked like.

Or make her a X-month limited freebie which is available for purchase afterwards. But hey, making a digital item scarce might drive sales. It not.

I got the mystery items. YAY. Still no Antheia. I'll open a ticket.

^Those were 7 items qualifying for the unlock. Sorted in the order they were released.
Anything else downloaded with them was an extra freebie released the same day.
Daz should keep the promotion page until the last problematic order is sorted out, imo.
@PixelSploiting
Thank you! I now have my order numbers for each of them. I appreciate your taking the time to give me a hand. Bless you!
I submitted a ticket as well. Same situation, received the mystery bag items, but still haven't received Antheia character either.

Thank you so much to Richard and to Pixelsploiting .. I am now able to see and install Antheia.

Sorry to necro this thread, but I noticed that the MSO Antheia HD figure is no longer in my account though i did receive it?
Please open a support ticket so this can be checked.
