Could you tripple and subdivide the polys where you wanted the legs to
pop out of and then pull and tug them into leggish positions using
Modeler?  Not a terrible job for simple legs and that way you could use
morph w/o worrying about the polygon count.

Of course, the 2D morph program is probably more efficient...
