Final two full figure willy bodies assembled & filled ... in hindsight it would have been better not to fill yet ...

Boots & gloves cut off:

Gently heated with a hot air gun to squish them slightly, making them look more like gloves & boots, and not so much body parts ...

Not wanting to throw away anything potential useful, I had a go at removing the harness - very roughly at first ...

Then up to the lines. Note how thick the Willy body is moulded:

75% or so of the thickness removed, these could be used on a Tamiya 4x4 driver figure or the Sand Rover driver (with some modification):
