Do Legacy Shapes include ++ morphs?

Do the generation 4 Legacy shapes for Genesis 2 include the ++ morphs, or are they only the basic generation 4 shapes? The ++ morphs would be very useful since just about every 3rd party character for the gen 4 figures uses them. I'm not sure I'd want to pay over 10 dollars for just the basic shapes.

basic shape
Hi Peter,
I think the concept here is to use these base shapes and then use the:
Genesis 2 Male Morphs Bundle ( http://www.daz3d.com/genesis-2-male-s-morphs-bundle )
Genesis 2 Female(s) Morphs Bundle ( http://www.daz3d.com/genesis-2-female-morphs-bundle )
which are the Morphs++ for the Genesis 2 Generation figures.
So you shape G2F to the base V4 and then modify her with the Genesis 2 Female(s) Morphs Bundle to get that perfect shape you seek.
You will have to wait for GenX for G2F and G2M to transfer morphs from Gen 4 to Gen 6.
I think what they wanted was the ++morphs for existing and future characters and you would need GenX for that, not sure they have it yet for Genesis2.
Hi CalieVee,
Happy Chinese New Year. :-)
You are correct if the goal is to move a preset morph for a V4 or M4 character that was done with Morphs++.
GenX for Genesis 2 is not published yet. D3D was hoping to release it in Jan 2014.

In the interim, it is possible to use GenX for Genesis 1 to move the Gen 3 or 4 Legacy morphs to Genesis 1
then you can use the information provided here to move morphs from Genesis 1 to G2F G2M:

You can wait until D3D releases his Gen X for Genesis 2 product. If you buy Gen X for Genesis 1 now you can buy an upgrade product later when he releases it. See http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/24079/ for details.
Yes, I was thinking of moving Vicky and Mike 4 characters to Genesis 2. I'm not sure if it is really worth the effort since I can still use Vicky and Mike 4.
It would be nice to have complete interoperatbilty, use any clothes, hair and expressions on any character, and there are other ways of achieving this. I've got a few tutorials I haven't had time to read/watch yet and software I haven't got to know properly yet (including the Poser Pro fitting room).
I'll have a look at the tutorials mentioned here and keep an eye open for Gen-X for Genesis 2.
Thank you everyone for the interesting and usefull comments.
