Stands

[sparkysx]

Which stands should I buy for displaying figures? I prefer the smaller type.

Cheers 8)

I always go with the smaller clear ones as they are the same ones that came with the Palitoy Death Star set. If you're using them for vintage figures it makes sense to me to try and keep it all vintage looking.

The guy who sells them on eBay is a pal of mine, the tool is the one used on the palitoy stands he got it of an ex employee years ago. Good stands, good service and a good guy :wink:

I wondered why those stands were so close to the original ones I have, it now all makes sense!

Cool, already had his stands on my watch list, will order some.


thanks

For the price you can't go wrong. Excellent at getting the figures close together but understandably not as stable as the wider pro tech ones.
I recently ordered a packet for my loft find figures; the stands arrived the next day. Great ebayer.

Totally agree - that's a great price

I bought 100 of these, some of the figures have a stance that is too wide for both feet to land on the stand, they still support the figure though, just wondering if this bothers anyone else or do you use two stands?

cheers

As Jez mentioned above there are some larger pro tech ones that are ideal for the likes of Amanaman, Luke Stormie, Imperial Gunner etc. Should be able to source them on the bay.

I sell the larger black Protech ones

 

[sparkysx]

Think I need the clear ones really, do already have some black ones but they are probably going on display in a detolf and the rest of the stands are clear, looks like I need about 11 more stands! :x

 

[x-pack]

Also, I think it's Bluedog who's designing new display cases that may hold a full run of figures. So keep an eye out for those 8)

 

[sparkysx]

Do I go for a mix of 50 odd clear pro tech stands and 50 of the clear smaller stands, or just 100 of the pro tech stands? I don't like figures having one leg in mid air.

 

[walkie]

The problem I have with the protech ones are they're just too big. OK for a gammy gaurd or rancor keeper but when it comes to a bespin gaurd or leia hoth they look stupid. The off centre peg doesn't help either.

Did recommend a mix of both.

 

[sparkysx]

Not all the figures are a nice snug fit, some have peg holes that are too big, blue tack?
