Heh, they just look stalky or barrel-chested to me.

No it works fine! I just did that after reading this thread and thinking that
my space hangar could use a new droid. The tall hip studs just make the
bottoms of the side sockets, which means while you can see the hip studs
inside through the empty "arm" sockets, they don't interfere with the arms
while in the sockets. Arms come off kinda easily tho as you might guess cuz
the socket hole isn't really designed for them.
In fact, if you stick in legs, then a single-stud 1x2 plate on top of the 1x2,
and a minifig head, the figure is exactly the same height as a regular bald
minifig. The only differences are, no slightly trapezoidal torso, the arms are
positioned a little lower, and the hands don't touch its head when the arms
are fully raised.

Try again. And if you leave off the single stud 1x2 plate, you can make a two-
headed alien too, droid, cyborg, whatever, with 1x1 round bricks instead of
using regular minifig heads.
