Subject: DAZ "Mystery Model"


MikeJ ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 7:16 AM · edited Mon, 07 April 2025 at 2:38 PM

From DAZ' website: Why has the introductory sale of Michael 2.0 been extended? And how do I get the mystery model? We want to express our gratitude for the overwhelming support of Michael 2.0. As our way of saying thanks to those who have purchased Michael 2.0 during his introductory period, we are offering a special gift ($29.95 value). It is a mystery model that we are releasing in the near future. Shortly, we will be emailing a DAZ voucher good towards the new "mystery" model to everyone who has purchased Michael 2.0 (upgrade or full version) prior to January 16, 2002. (If you purchase after this date, your voucher code will be displayed on your sales receipt displayed immediately after purchase-look under the header of gift certificates) So don't loose those vouchers. As part of this opportunity, we are leaving Michael 2.0 on special until we release the "mystery" model. The "Mystery" model will also be made available for sale to those who did not buy Michael 2.0. ********** OK, so I got my voucher emailed to me. But I'm wondering, particularly the last paragraph above. What does it mean? I mean, how can this voucher an soon-to-be "Mystery Model" be any sort of "reward" for purchasing the Michael 2 model, if everyone is getting it? This is what my email said: As a reward for purchasing Michael 2.0 during the introductory special we would like to offer you a free complimentary Mystery Model valued at $30. The production team at DAZ is busily working on this new Mystery Model. Hmmmm.... So, anyone want to shed some insight into this? ;)

Hi Mike, I think what it means is........if you don't buy Michael 2, you will still be able to purchase the Mystery Model. Only those who bought Michael 2 will get the model for free.....not everyone. I got my voucher too, but the mystery is still a mystery, I suppose it's not ready yet. (: genny


MikeJ ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 7:35 AM

Oh... NOW I see it. I hadn't noticed the "for sale" line in there. DOH! Ok, I'll save my posting for after my second cup of coffee from now on. Thank you ,genny. :)



namja1955 ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 7:42 AM

Here's my guess... Mike 2 is currently 30% off, which would seem to indicate that at sometime in the future it will be 30% more. I would assume that means that the introductory period would be over when it reverts to full price. Say it reverts to full price on February 15. If you bought Mike on 1 January, still within the intro period, but before January 16, you get the mystery model, and an e-mail with the voucher number. If you bought Mike on 18 January, still within the intro period, but after January 16, you get the mystery model but your e-mail confirmation of the purchase already has a voucher number. Now presumably, if you purchase after February 15, you pay the full price (not 30% off) and no free mystery model. So anyone who buys Mike after the intro period pays full price and doesn't gets the eagerly awaited, and proportionately mysterious model of mystery.

It is a "mystery"................so, for anyone who has ESP, please tell us.........what is the "mystery model?" LOL! genny


Dragonlady ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 10:33 AM

what do they mean by "voucher"????? I bought M2 28 dec and got a receipt purchase confirmation and a download information???? havent got anything else????


melanie ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 10:44 AM

Well, the blip at DAZ about the Mystery Model refers to it as a "character." So, I can only assume it's a character for Mike 2. I'm dying to know, too. Dragonlady, you're not alone. A lot of people haven't received their voucher yet. I got mine yesterday, but I know a lot of folks over at 3D Commune have voiced their concern about not receiving theirs yet. You might contact DAZ to make sure you get it. They're a great bunch of folks to work with when you have problems with purchases. You can also check your purchase history on the DAZ site. You might want to check to see if your purchase is listed on it. If you still have your receipt, send a copy to Reachel White in Sales. She was a dear when I had a problem a while back. Good luck. Melanie

I thought in the last newsletter (which I have since deleted) that it said that it wasn't the baby, or the morphing clothes pack.


3-DArena ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 1:31 PM

mehndi - did you just give away the mystery??

Mehndi ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 2:01 PM

shrugs Not sure what it is actually ;) Only guess I could come up with though was the Mil Baby. However, it probably is not that :) But if it is... oh baby baby! ;p


Mehndi ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 2:04 PM

Aw...darn, you are right. It says on the newsletter it is not a baby. sigh And here I was making cute little bibs and diapers and searching my cd's for ducky clipart to make adorable ducky cloth ;)

oooh I hope you are right, that is needed!

Little_Dragon ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 2:55 PM

Maybe it's the long-awaited Michael version of the centaur. The price would be appropriate. (still haven't got my voucher yet)



namja1955 ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 2:56 PM

The item is associated with the purchase of Michael2. If it does turn out to be a Mil Baby, will it come with a paternity suit and child support papers from Vicky 2.???


Mehndi ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 3:04 PM

It is not the baby :( Cin- is right, they said in their last newsletter is it not the baby :( Ah well... the baby will be out soon :)


Little_Dragon ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 3:04 PM

Who's to say it's Victoria's baby? Perhaps the child is the result of Michael's drunken tryst with Dina, after his discovery that Vicky is actually his step-sister from their father's secret marriage to Posette. Next week, on Days of Our Lives ....



Cin- ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 3:13 PM

I just wish they had a date when the mystery would be solved... I'm not a very patient person! :)


cweller ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 3:15 PM

Hey I got my voucher in my e-mail today, but the model is not posted on Daz's site, and the e-mail still doesn't say what it is. Just wondering how to use the voucher on a product that's not up yet? I guess it should be up soon!? Can't wait!


MikeJ ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 3:18 PM

Yeah but if you recall, Mike was so drunk that he really didn't remember anything, and Dina threatened to tell Vicki about the "event" so as to extort some cash from him. BUT, nothing ever happened that night. Michael passed out on the couch and she simply undressed him and dragged him into the bedroom, where he awaoke the next morning on the floor. Dina lied, but Michael believed her anyway and it wasn't until after she got to Rio (with the kid and the 380,000 in cash she extorted from Michael) that she phoned him to tell him. There never was any reason for him to know the baby was actually Dork's, but she wanted sooo bad to rub it in his face, how utterly stupid and gullible he had been, she couldn't hold back. She told him. But, Dina eventually got hers: In Jamaica she ran into a voodoo witch who cast a spell of permanent ugliness on her and...oh wait, never mind. ;) Or maybe I'm just confused. Coulda sen that on Dallas,



Little_Dragon ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 3:27 PM

Now I'm confused ... I thought Dina was blackmailing Michael by threatening to send Vicky a copy of the videotape which showed them doing the horizontal nasty. But the tapes were switched and the incriminating one ended up on the shelf at Blockbuster .... (3:26PM CST, and still no sign of my voucher. Those of you who got one, what's the expiration date?)



MikeJ ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 3:32 PM

Well, yeah, but it was actually Dork in the video, which had obviously been touched up. But thinking about it, there was something else going on as well which I can't remember, and it alwas was a question of whether they actually did the nasty or not. And Blockbuster got sued for half a mil when that video threw some 97 year old lady into cardiac arrest. Imagine--what are the odds it would end up in a Jerry Falwell video tape box! (I just got mine yesterday. it doesn't appear to have a exp. date on it, but anyway, the model hasn't been made available yet.)



Mehndi ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 3:33 PM

Nah, the baby couldn't be Dina's, it hasn't got linebacker shoulders! ;) Now what I heard, is that Dina kidnapped the baby from Vicki and Michael, and is holding it ransom till they come up with 380,000 in cash, or 60 billion in Enron stock ;)


MikeJ ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 3:42 PM

Couldn't be Dina's?!? Well then that means the delivery room footage was also a FAKE! That throws some serious complications into it all...



melanie ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 7:15 PM

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Little Dragon, the expiration date is April 1, so there's plenty of time to cash it in. The blurb on DAZ says it's a character, so I'm assuming it must be a character for Mike 2. Melanie


Dreamspinner ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 10:58 PM

Question is--when will it be released? Have voucher in e-mail box just waiting.... Liz Pope Dreamspinner Inc.


MikeJ ( ) posted Sun, 27 January 2002 at 11:28 PM

Here it is in it's entirety, and yes, now I see it does say April 1 on it, but apparently the model is not ready for upload yet. I'm sure it will be soon, since they sent the vouchers out already. Thank-you for your recent purchase of Michael 2.0 Upgrade from DAZ Productions! We hope that you are enjoying and experiencing the true versatility of the model. As a reward for purchasing Michael 2.0 during the introductory special we would like to offer you a free complimentary Mystery Model valued at $30. The production team at DAZ is busily working on this new Mystery Model. I have assigned a DAZ voucher for the cost of the Mystery Model to your name. The code is ************. (Voucher code valid only on the new Mystery Model until April 1, 2002.) We think that you will truly enjoy this new character. DAZ artists have put much attention and detail into the making of this Mystery Model. If you do have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact sales@daz3d.com. You are receiving this email because you purchased Michael 2.0 or Michael 2.0 Upgrade from DAZ3D.

I still haven't got mine either. If I don't get it by tomorrow i will e-mail them. Actually, I heard Boris framed Mike and Dork in order to avoid having to pay child support. Dina was very drunk at a party all the men attended and really couldn't remember who she was with. Boris, the true father, pretended to be her friend when she found out she was pregnant and told her he would take care of it. Mike and Dork were both drunk as well that night and have long lusted for Dina. They didn't recall sleeping with their own ladies that night and felt macho pride at having nailed Dina so they are paying up. Now Boris keeps one payment each month and gives the other to Dina while he puts the moves on Vanessa. Thats how I heard it...


Mehndi ( ) posted Mon, 28 January 2002 at 6:35 AM

Well you know how we all know thats a lie? The "long lusted for Dina" part ;) The only way Mike and Dork could lust long, or short, for Dina, would be to be blind, drunk, or both ;) As to them being drunk that night, drunkeness is a major cause of impotency ;) That only leaves Boris the evil mastermind behind it all capable, neh? ;)


Valandar ( ) posted Mon, 28 January 2002 at 7:49 AM

I -STILL- say that it's the Mike version of Dorkerina!

Remember, kids! Napalm is Nature's Toothpaste!


bloodsong ( ) posted Mon, 28 January 2002 at 10:31 AM

okay, but then... what are the TRUE origins of the evil demon baby??? hey hey hey, i got it, i know what the mystery model will be! (maybe.) it's a mystery model, right? so, like, it is a complete sherlock holmes getup for michael! you think? yeah, well, okay....::goes back to speculating about thighmasters and mother in laws::


Dreamspinner ( ) posted Mon, 28 January 2002 at 10:49 AM

My bit of fun speculation here. It's not Vickie and Mike's baby....it's a Killer Tomato!!!! Liz Pope Dreamspinner Inc.

It's Rosemary's baby!

If you have any further questions please feel free to contact us! I have a question... lol WHAT IS IT?! Just kidding, I know you're not going to tell us, but I couldn't resist...


melanie ( ) posted Mon, 28 January 2002 at 8:24 PM

A small paragraph in the Voucher e-mail from DAZ states: *** We think that you will truly enjoy this new character. DAZ artists have put much attention and detail into the making of this Mystery Model. *** Logically, since you have to have bought Michael 2, it stands to reason it's a character for Michael 2. Not sure how you would make a baby out of that, but I suppose anything's possible. I guess we'll find out when they're ready to tell us. Come on DAZ, we're all excited and anxious to get it! :) Melanie


bloodsong ( ) posted Tue, 29 January 2002 at 11:25 AM

heyas; it doesnt say you HAVE to have bought michael 2. it just says they're giving you a free new model cuz you did. and people who dont buy mike 2 can still buy the model, cuz it will be on sale like any regular model. SO, don't be too surprised if it isn't mike-related. of course, it very well may be. i dont think it is a michael character, i think it is a new figure. or it might be a spin off character like them mil girls things. hmmm... since they said 'character' does that rule out conforming clothing packs? if they said 'character' intead of 'figure' does that mean it is a mike 2 character? hmmm... if it IS a character, might it have some conforming clothes on it?? if a train is leaving chicago at 11 am in the morning....?


Valandar ( ) posted Tue, 29 January 2002 at 12:24 PM

Listen to me, people! It's the Mike version of Dorkerina!

Remember, kids! Napalm is Nature's Toothpaste!


RHaseltine ( ) posted Tue, 29 January 2002 at 1:24 PM

Being Mike-related wouldn't stop its being for sale - people who don't buy Mike2 in the offer period won't get it free, and it may well at least partially work with M1.

There DAZ, I've done some of your FAQ-answering for you, could you use the time saved to send me a teeny mystery model hint? I won't share, [cross fingers] promise.[uncross fingers]


Kiera ( ) posted Tue, 29 January 2002 at 1:29 PM

I think they should post pics of the character in shadowed out profile to make it more fun. =)


bloodsong ( ) posted Tue, 29 January 2002 at 5:37 PM

hmm... i think whoever guesses right should get a prize. ;)


judith ( ) posted Tue, 29 January 2002 at 6:51 PM

:))) No help again from DAZ Yeah, I checked the thread again this morning just to see what people were saying. Sorry, no more hints, but from the look of the thread, I think everyone's going to be quite happily surprised, (because no one's even close)
