What are you using?
Half-illithid lizardfolk for the mediums, chuuls for the larges.
They would make a challenging scuplt. The Half Ithlid and Chull are both expensive rare minis I believe. No cheap way to do this?
Probably not, my wife and I are avid collectors, so we have 4 of the lizardfolk and 3 chuuls.
Sculpting wise, its gonna be an uphill battle. I did a lot of Warhammer Tyranid conversions a few years back, I'd say that would be the best place to start for other options, the lictors have the right heads.
Actually, lictor head on ravager bodies, with an addsculpt to put two extra scything talons on the tail, kinda gets it in one. I should have thought of that, I could make a dozen of those with my spare parts.

Half-Illithid is an uncommon, and not a particularly in-demand on IIRC. Though it is from an older set. Regardless, you should be able to pick a few of them up for not too much. And it's not like you need THAT many koprus at once, either.
Chuuls are more of a problem, granted.
I would still like something to get across to the PCs that they are not bipedal and can only drag themselves across the ground (our be carried by slaves).
If you had to remove the Kopru and replace them with something else that mini are common for what would it be?
Small rocks for the medium ones, chunks of concrete for the larger ones.
I've played games where the monsters were M&M's and when you killed one you got to eat it.

Trader Joe's sells these licorice scottie-dog candies...have to try that.
