The problem you have is that the the two figures are not boned for the same sized figure. The Minotaur legs are boned for the Freak, a much larger figure. This is how to take the legs and make them fit David and create a new conforming figure for him.
  1. Load both David and the Minoaur Legs. Put them both in zero pose with IK turned off. DO NOT conform the legs to David!
  2. Resize the Minotaur legs to match David. You'll have to use side-to-side on the shin's a bit to get a good fit between the figures. 72% works pretty well on resizing. I sidemoves the shins about 7% to get the fit over David's shins. Not an exact fit, but pretty close.
  3. Export the minotaur's shins, feel, and toes as an object file. Check the Include Body Parts, Include Existing Groups, and Weld options. All other options should not be checked.
  4. Delete the Minotaur from your scene.
  5. If you have P5, import the Minotaur legs object you just exported. Use the default options. Then go into the setup room and use the David Blank character to add bones to it. Go back to the pose room and conform the new figure to David. You'll have to zero pose it to get it to fit right after conforming. Save the new leg figure to your library.

If you have P4, open the David Blank.cr2 in a text editor and change the lines pointing to the David object file to point to the minotaur leg object you just exported and save the file as "David Minotaur Legs.cr2" Be sure you've done a save as and not a plain save! Otherwise you'll overwrite the David Blank.cr2 file. Go back to Poser and load and conform the new figure to David.

It won't be a perfect fit, but it'll work as a conforming figure. The morphs will be gone, but you cna magnet the shins to get them to fit David's variations pretty easy. You also could ask Raw-Art to make a complete set of legs for the figures as conforming items. Daz is just brokering it for him. BTW, This is David using a morph set I call JimBoy's. It's designed for Vittorio, but will work with any V3 grouped figure.
