I wasn't that big fan of the 25th ann. Grunt that was released. I ended up switching out the body with a Duke from one of the comic packs. All I did was switch around the heads and web gear and he he fits in perfectly with the others now.

The bad thing about that switch is that you end up with wrinkly pink hands.

I didn't like Grunt as well when I first saw him because he didn't use the same parts as the other figures he should match up with.
I've seen this switch done before and I was thinking of doing the same thing. The only thing I don't like about the switch is that he now has black boots inside of brown boots like Grunt should have. Other than that it works out pretty well.

I switched the bodies, as well, but I never liked the "corpse-like" flesh tone on Grunt so I switched heads with the "angry brunette Hawk" head from the TRU green shirt five pack and I think this figure now looks more like Grunt. I may go back and paint a better flesh tone on the first Grunt head...

Not a big fan of the Grunt figure we got either. I have two and one has 5 o'clock shadow and the other looks like he has a full beard. I may have to get that Duke and swap heads and just repaint the boots to match. Thanks for the advice.

He also looks tons better with Grand Slam's head on this body. (Which is what I did)

looks good, but i am quite happy with the brighter green Grunt and the fact that he has the flag on his shoulder...

The DG Duke has longer legs and brown boots which is more correct to original, but he is quite a light colour like Zap. The CB duke has really short lower legs and black boots, and is a bit of a strange colour compared to the other OG13 figures. Both look better than the SRO Grunt though! |
