How would you get an interactive license for base G8 character?

I'm a programmer, but don't really do 3D games, but it is something I could see might be fun and is always something that I say I may want to play with. Most of the ideas I have would work fine for 2D, but having a few assets that would be suitable for inventory and character screens could be useful. However, when I search for Genesis 8 Male or Female, everything under the sun from the last couple of years shows up and, since those base figures were free with DS, I doubt they'd even be listed. I see you can get a license for those initial morph packs. Are these sufficient? 

Also, does anyone have any experience with those reduced res figures from ages back? I remember preferring those to the standard vicky/michael back in the day when the character I wanted to render was just dialed in. So, those would probably do just fine for my needs. At least the V3/M3 version is available in a bundle with a few other figures, which would be a very economical way to start (probably would want to get a few textures, though)

The various Starter Essentials have product pages from which you can buy the interactive license - e.g. https://www.daz3d.com/genesis-8-starter-essentials

The reduced resolution figues has, to my recollection, about the same polygon count as the Geensis figures' SubD cages.

Hm, quoting seems to be wonky for me today. 

Thanks for the response, Richard! That makes genesis preferable indeed.
