So, I got Monkeywrench but my main issue is the lower arms used. They are so short and small. I don't have any glasses so nothing I can do about getting some glasses on Monkeywrench, but I just needed the arms fixed, but I didn't want to waste the arms off another figure so I came up with a simple solution that will not waste any figures:
I used the Cobra Flint arms on Monkeywrench and put Monkeywrench's on Cobra Flint. Since the troopers are more scrawny looking, I think the Monkeywrench arms work and the skin tones match perfectly. Added his leg bandanas now:

very cool, I was thinking about doing the same thing but hadn't yet. Now I'm definitely going to. You could always paint the firefly goggles silver and use those? Thats what I did

Don't waste the goggles! Sorry, I just love those things. You can use many things for glasses. I like to cut out plastic from the figure packaging and paint it.

How about Wave 1 Baroness from RoC? Would these work for glasses?
Great job with the forearms. I have extra Flint troopers lying around so one might volunteer his arms...

They did on mine. You need to trim the stems a little bit and glue them on to make it look really good though.

Yeah, I want to use Baroness glasses too, but I can't justify buying the figure just for the glasses. :( Just don't have that kind of extra money.

I've added the leg bandanas to him now. They are just red twist ties that I found at a supermarket. I cut along each side beside the metal wire and then tied it to his legs.
Now I need to figure out what to do about the glasses.
