dr_bernie, the Genesis figure IS the V3 and V4 Figure!  It's the base all the V figures after V2 were based on, because there are morphs for it that change it into that exact replica figure!  Yep, you can morph Genesis 1 into V4 or V3, or Steph Petite, and they are exactly the same (with a different vertex order), but look exactly the same, and Genesis can accept V4 textures.  I think the reason you see what you see is that people don't have all the morph packs, and for good reason... they are expensive, and there's so many addons to the darn thing, who can afford them all?

Edit to say, you can also morph it into the Freak, M4, M3, and the Girl!  It's exact replicas of those figures, with better rigging.  YOu can also use any texture pack created for any of those figures, and with an addon, you can accept any morphs created for any of those figures.  So clearly, all those figures were created from THIS mesh, and sold as different characters.  We could have saved a ton of money if they just released Genesis FIRST.
