Can the suction cups be removed from the smaller base?
I know that's not the intention, but what I really need is small footprint things to keep these guys standing while tucked together tight on a shelf. I have a lot of domino effect tumbles and want to mitigate that. The standard base for this and others are too big to do that. BUT - that suction cup one, without the suction cups, looks like it could fit the bill. If it holds it's weight without the cups that is. |

I think you'd have a hell of a time balancing a figure on the small base without the suction cups holding the whole thing down.
My concern regarding these is the quality of plastic used. Is it brittle? There's a company called Flight Pose who make some super-high quality flight stands for vehicles. They're expensive as their imports from the UK, I believe. The Bandai stands are pretty good durability too but won't work for heavier figures. I wouldn't mind seeing an attachment which is like a small bucket seat you could rest a figure's butt in. With a small middle section to come under the crotch. The seat itself may be less visible from the front. I feel the clips on a lot of these stands just stand out too much when wrapped around a torso. |

The shots with the Aliens, especially the Isolation drone, are great. I might have to get one or two of these after all.

Really wanted to show it could hold their weight with no issues. The jumping Dog Alien is still like that right now with the glass propped up against the wall.

I would really like to see BBTS carry a consistent brand of stand and hangar base kit for a sustained amount of time. That way I could add a little to each order, not have fall behind on what I collect, and end up with a uniform look.

I'm interested in this stand but I currently use these as they have a small footprint while enabling dynamic poses, and are cheap in terms of UK prices for such items:

I picked one of these up at TRU and was thrilled to come across such an items. I just wish the footprint was smaller and that the claw was double articulated more like a pliers, and not just one side hinged.
