The Wolf Trooper isn't quite what I hoped for either. Mine has two different length legs (looks like an issue with the black German mold) and the flesh hands kind of throw it off.
His equipment is also not that great, particularly the huge pistol holster and the basically unusable gun.

A while ago I asked what paint to use to paint Marauder gun and one of you guys said to use Tamiya (maybe Vallejo) acrylic paint. Well I've constantly out it off because the first thing that pops into my head is what if I ruin the gun. And when ever my dad and I would look at the model section at Hobby Lobby I would always look at stuff I could use on Marauder figures and weapons. Last weekend my dad bought a set of Testors acrylic paint that has a tan in it because he knew I had talked about painting a gun with tan. So can I use Testors acrylic paint on the Marauder guns?
I also recently bought a pair of third hand tweezers and I just wish the jaws were smooth instead of having the gripping surface they have. I'm more than likely gonna put duct tape on the jaws to minimize any damage that can be done. I use a blowdryer to dry the paint before I move on. I will say I've tried a bunch of paints and in a art store I saw this $10 Liquitex paint. Thats way ore than Apple Barrel. So I bought one tube of black to see if it was any good. Wow. I BS you not. One thin coat I used to paint the gray german soldier's boots black and it went on so nice. i was surprised but then I was made because I put too much outside of the tube (the amount I normally do for Vallejo or apple barrel) and didn't need any of it. and its expensive. But I swore I'm going to by at least some more key colors of liquitex

Here are pics: I don't know if you can tell, but to me, it just looks like the feet are different. You can see way more "sock" (the ball joint) on the left foot than the right. Or maybe one needs to be pushed super hard back up into the leg. As it is, he will only stand now if I have him on tiptoes on one foot.

I've pushed on the leg and foot some. I thought as hard as I could.

Yeah, that left foot isn't deep enough up into the calf. You'll likely need to heat the calf up a LOT so it's reallyreallyreally rubbery to shove the foot back in enough to make a new deeper socket fitting; but it can be done.

I pushed it up in more. It's not perfect, but even after dipping it in hot water for a minute, it won't go more.
