I did the same mod, but if you shave a bit of plastic off the upper thigh part of the Reva leg where the peg holes are, it gives enough clearance to let the legs sit normally and you don't have to rotate the upper part around. For shin I used the legs from whats her face from Andor, Mon Mothma's cousin whatever her name was. Perfect size, color and there's a bit of overhang that you can easily glue Shin's kneepads onto without needing to dremel anything. Now to track down more solid lightsaber hilts to replace the gummy ones they come with.

Ok, after watching this yesterday I decided to give this a try. Last night I found a spare Giddeon in my stash so I’m good there. Today, miraculously all the rest fell into place. I made a trip to my local Ollie’s and as expected I found a Reva for $5.99. They had about 10 of them there…🤮. Then I went to Walmart, and talk about miracles….on the peg next to the rotting away Landos (5 of them) and Greef Kargas (4 of them) were 1 brand new and mint Baylon Skoll and Shin Hati! I was like WTF! Those were the first two new Black Series figures I’ve seen in that Walmart in over 6 months and they just so happened to be the exact figures I was looking for. And they had the correct “orange” lightsabers. Now I don’t want to open them because they’re so rare, but after all that coming together like that I owe it to myself now to complete this leg transfer. Damm I’m a rambling old man….wish me luck….😏

3/8/24 Update: Success! Thanks to Landspeeder Luke for the brilliant research and solution, the fellas at OOTB for a quick shot reminder, and lastly to Robo for the detailed video and motivation. Baylan turns out to be just under a head taller than Shin, who turns out to be just a smidge taller than Sabine. So the scale is way better! The only problem now is Hot Toys rolled out their near perfect lifelike figures of Baylan and Shin yesterday, and when I look at that Shin Hot Toy and compare it to this effort from Hasbro it’s like comparing a $90 porterhouse steak at a fine restaurant to a $2.99 cheeseburger at Burger King. I’m now depressed and disgusted with myself for collecting Hasbro’s garbage instead of Hot Toys….🤦🏻♂️

With the Baylan figure, it's not so much of a "fix" as a "fudge." The single biggest problem with the figure isn't the legs being too short. It's the torso being too small. But, there's no easy fix for that. So the leg swap will have to do.

The actress playing Sabine is shorter than the actress playing Shin. By more than 2 inches. The original figure height is not far off.
