I have a few questions regarding these 2 figures in terms of customizing. If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.
1. I picked up a free Legends 2-pack Orton and Piper a few days ago. The problem is that the right leg on Bob Orton is super wobbly that he won't stand up. I had an idea on picking up a Legends 2 Terry Funk and swapping the lower legs, head, and arms from the Orton onto the Terry. My questions is: Will the skintones match or is one of them lighter or tanner? Also, is the body type the same one or is it different?
2. Another thing is that my Piper has stains on the back of his legs due to the kilt and I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to take the thighs off the figure? Do you just warm the legs up and pull them off, or will I need a flat screwdriver to be successful? Since I'll have the Bob Orton body just laying there, I wanted to swap the thighs on Piper to get rid of the stains.
If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it.

1) The skintones match really well. Infact, I did the same thing to my Bob Orton figure.
2) You should be able to heat them up and pop them on/off. I've never done that personally but I'd imagine that's the case.

Heat the thighs with a hairdryer for 3 or 4 minutes so they are really soft. Then just pop them off ate the cut joint. To put the new ones on. Heat the parts that have the hole for the stem to pop into so they are really soft. Do not heat the parts with the stems...this way the stems stay hard. Then just try to put the stem into the holes. Basically put one side of the stem into the hole and then just try to twist the leg onto the stem until the stem is fully in the hole. (sort of like screwing it in)

I actually just put the Orton legs on a Mr. Perfect body with Ordorn boots. Made a great base for a Bret Hart custom.

I also have a question on the Piper/Orton 2-pack:
Are Orton's knee pads black and grey or all black each?
