Saw the Zanzibar thread, but figured I'd start a general fixes thread for all of the Dreadnok and Marauder 7-pack figures.
I do have these sets in hand now and have gotten a bit of time to mess with them. As many of you may be aware I enjoy coming up with accessory and part 'upgrade' kits that Broken Arrow has been kind enough to cast an make available on his site. I am working on various parts for new 7-pack figures and will include those in my thoughts and WIP's below. Feel free to discuss, post suggestions, requests for pics of various parts combinations etc. Dreadnok: Gnawgahyde: Currently working on a belt dremeled out of ARAH fig's waist, add-on boot holster and knife sheath. Considering dremeling out POC Recondo's 'arm-wrap' into a sleeve that could be slid over Gnaw's left arm. Might pick up his ARAH gun, would probably just give him POC Spirit's archery gear and an existing machete. Zandar: Broken Arrow already has an ARAH-style gun and a modified-peg backpack. Might also make a functional knife sheath. Currently looking for a better-fitting set of knees and possibly some different lower arms/hands. Thrasher: possibly different lower arms/hands or maybe splice on Mutt's left lower arms. Road Pig: gave his sword to Taurus, Broken Arrow already has, and is hopefully casting ARAH-style cross-bow and blocker. Might swap out his left hand to a all-black gloved hand. Zanzibar: replacement seat for ARAH air-skiff with corrected pin or just shaved pin. Maybe different hands, belt, and was looking for a way to add a top knot. Maybe shave his mullet and either use a Scarlet pony-tail or actual fake hair like the original. Marauders: Taurus: 25th Baroness's gun is the same as what came with v2 Taurus. It's a little small for the new version, but does fit. His v1 weapon was ridiculous looking so not looking to re-cast that. His v1 backpack was the same as ARAH Recondo. Broken Arrow already has a ARAH-style Recondo backpack that should be available soon. Maybe also cast a different holster to fit his webgear, different knees that allow him to straighten his legs, and possibly a modified version of ROC SS's silver arm-guard. Red Dog: Belt dremeled out of ARAH fig's waist. Will have holster for left leg, ARAH-style gun and backpack. Actually trying mine currently with single-carded Torch's legs. Working on an ARAH-style webgear. Unfortunately beard is sculpted on, not just painted. Mercer: working on an ARAH-style vest. Have an ARAH-style gun and backpack I'll be sending Broken Arrow. Might also dremel out a belt from the ARAH fig for him. Looking for more ARAH-accurate lower arms.

An easy fix for Taurus' legs is to swap them with either Red Dog's or Shadow Tracker's. Although paint is required, it's nothing complicated.
