Got a TRU 2 pack exclusive to get the Praetorian Guard. Didn't want to waste the Executioner Stormtrooper so I added parts using a bootleg Walmart Stormtrooper. Did that to a 5 POA TLJ Stromtrooper too. I just didn't like the bootlegs cause they were too stiff and some had torso that started cracking and they had discoloring. I like how the parts fit on the 5 POA ones. With this mod, I get somewhat superarticulated TLJ FO Stormtroopers that actually stand and hold their weapons better than the Bootleg BS ones.
Stormtrooper officer with my previously done FO Flametrooper custom All 3 together. They were all once 5 POA figures. One of them is the Walmart one and the other is the 5 POA one. Later, I found the other 2 knockoff Stormtroopers I had and converted my last two TLJ Stormtroopers. So, here are all my 5 POA troopers converted to have more articulation. One of them is a legit Walmart BS figure and the other is the modded TLJ one. I love how Hasbro molded them so that they are turned slightly, so it allows me to do this running pose. Also gave Phasma an SE-44C blaster pistol. I painted it based on the Visual Dictionary.

I had to cut off limbs and drill holes and clean them so they are angled to fit the lower limbs in.
Basically, they were 5 POA figures and they are now 13 POA. The only thing I couldn't do was giving them torso/waist articulation. But other than the orange pauldron figure, they all now have the following: ball jointed head swivel shoulders ball hinged elbows ball hinged wrists swivel hips ball hinged knees ball hinged ankles The orange one is missing ball hinged elbow joint on his left arm because I screwed up when I was taking apart the elbow from the knockoff figure. All of them needed the joints painted so you don't see white plastic at the joint.

Here's some more pictures from my original Flametrooper thread.
Just showing off his new articulation Group shot: The officer with backpack just has the backpack added to the webgear and put onto a Walmart Stormtrooper and the heavy gunner is just a Walmart Stormtrooper with the heavy gunner gear. Compared to the 6" one. I based the look on this where it's just normal Stormtrooper knee pads under neath the Flametroopers extra armor.

Thanks. Just finished off Hux last night.
Gave my Hux articulated elbows. I didn't bother giving him knees cause I will only ever display him standing because of how they sculpted the lower portion of his tunic. I used a DG Cobra Commander lower arms. with my TLJ custom SA Kylo Ren and here is the reason I gave him the articulated elbows. I see him standing with his hands clasped behind his back And together with my other FO figures on the shelf. Didn't realize the Trooper beside him flopped over to one side. Looks like he's leaning over to tell Hux something...haha

He's photobombing Hux and Kylo's selfie.

The Last Jedi version of Hux looks like a noticeable improvement over the TFA version.

Yeah, and I guess we know where that lightsaber blade is going to slash.
