Got the idea from another post ..... Is there a way generate a list of core figures for G8? G3? G2? I want to stock up on whatever I have missing put when I do a search, I get other things besides the base characters. I get hair, clothing, etc.

Genesis 8.1: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/686721/list-of-g8-1-core-figures
G3 & G2: https://www.daz3d.com/catalogsearch/result?pp=40&q=pro+bundle&bundle=true&vendor[]=Daz+Originals&figure[]=genesis_3_male&figure[]=genesis_3_female&figure[]=genesis_2_male&figure[]=genesis_2_female&bundle=true&s=score&p=1&guid=
(As I think that while they changed the way they did bundles late in the G8 era into the G8.1 era, I think all the G3 and G2 characters had an associated "Pro Bundle", so you can search by that)
How about a search for 'Pro Bundle'? That should pretty much get everything from 4.2 through G8...
Not perfect. But should be a good enough start.
As I say in my post, it misses a lot of late G8.
Don't quote me on this, but I think Honni was the last G8 to have a straight "Pro Bundle", and after that it moves into things like Tara 8's "World Adventurer Bundle" and Holt 8's "Wild West Bundle".
Wouldn't "Bundles Only" Figure = G8M,G8F,G8.1M,G8.1F, and Artist = Daz Originals find all the "Daz character bundles"?
I found this list of G8.1 core figures: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/686721/list-of-g8-1-core-figures
LIST OF G8 CORE FIGURES WITH 1+ THEME BUNDLES (below)
This may or may not be complete. I made it by a search based on @jmucchiello's suggestion above. I selected Characters/Human from Categories (upper left dropdown on main store page), then sorted by Artist=Daz Originals, G8 male and female, Bundles only. I also sorted High to Low, since most large character bundles will be near the top, and unchecked Hide Items I own to lessen the chances I missed a figure.
Note some of these have a second Theme bundle that doesn't include the figure. (Like a G9 add-on bundle but more content.) Originally Daz had the figure in multiple theme bundles, but buyers objected to what they thought of as having to pay twice for the figure. I didn't include those bundles in my list but most of them have the figure as part of the bundle name (e.g. Millawa 8 Cryomancer Bundle) so a search for the figure will show them.
1. Drutherson Gnome of Gears/Better Watch Out
2. Freja 8 Viking Maiden
3. Holt 8 Wild West
4. Juan Carlos 8 Cyber Dystopia/Dystopian Rider/Streets of Cyberpunk
5. Khemset 8 Ancient Egyptian Handmaiden
6. Kjaer 8 Plunder/Blacksmith
7. Kwan 8 Trooper
8. Millawa 8 Cyber Mission
9. Milton 8 the Sidekick
10. Niko 8 Cyber Funk
11. Sukai 8 the Superhero
12. Tara 8 Bundle/World Adventurer Mega
13. Topsy 8 the Tinkerer/Merry and Bright
14. Twosret 8 Pharoah Living
Thank you. I appreciate the effort!!
BTW; this is in fact a list of core characters.
Characters are morphs and need a base figure.
Figures do not need a morph to work inside DAZ studio.
Core figures are:
Victoria
Victoria 2
Victoria 3
Michael
Michael 2
Michael 3
Stephanie 1
Aiko 1
Victoria 4
Michael 4
Genesis 1
Genesis 2 female
Genesis 2 male
Genesis 3 female
Genesis 3 male
Genesis 8 female
Genesis 8 male
Genesis 9

They inexplicably deleted the 8 and 8.1 versions.
Despite slightly mixed terminology, I would say context (asking about things "for G8", "G3", etc) makes it clear that the OP meant Core Characters (not Base Figures).
To clear up some slightly nebulous terminology:
Base figure: The underlying framework upon which characters are built. This includes Genesis 9, Genesis 8 Female, Genesis 3 Male, etc. It gets more complicated pre-Genesis when the base figure itself was also a character, such as Victoria 4 and before.
Core character: A premium character made by Daz's own in-house team, usually accompanied by a high profile launch and bundle releases. These characters tend to get more shape support on clothing releases. These characters follow a "Name-Number" format, and this list includes Victoria 9, Michael 8, Eva 7, Monique 6, David 5 etc.
Until Genesis 8.1, it was expected that there would be at least a few characters released that specifically built upon core characters as their underlying shape.
Daz Originals character: These naturally include the core characters, but a lot of characters published under the Daz Originals banner are not considered Core characters, even if they may get a high profile release and bundles (Caryn and Tobyn are examples, even in spite of some vendors mistakenly referring to them in add-ons as "Caryn 8" and "Tobyn 8") . These are characters made by vendors which Daz themselves have bought the full copyright to, rather than characters specifically made in-house or under commission as the core characters are. These characters instead follow a "Name for Base Figure" format.
