I've started on a Big Papa Pump custom using a Jakks head, Mattel Boris Kozlov body and some Jakks knee pads. I don't want to paint it or crack anything, so I am going with just some basic parts swaps (not trying to be perfect). However, I am having trouble finding shorter boots to make him closer to the right height. For example, the pegs on the Big-E next to him are the wrong type (pegs on the boot rather than the leg like Koslov) and the peg holes on the Bruno are too small. Any suggestions on where to get shorter boots that will fit? Thanks.

The best I can suggest is just modding the boot hole that is too small either with an exacto knife carefully or with a dremel so that it fits on the pegs meant for larger boots. If you have the right size dremel bit you could do it fairly easily and quickly if you know what you're doing.
