After weeks of picking these things up off the store shelf, and putting them right back down, I finally caved and purchased the four new Star Wars Black Series six inch figures. Though I was happy with my purchase, I quickly became disheartened, because I don't know about the rest of you, but I can't get half of them to stand up.

Luke and R2 stand just fine, but the Sandtrooper is so back heavy with the pack on, that unless I hunch him over at almost a 45 degree angle, he won't stand. Darth Maul - Forget it. No matter what I've tried, he simply will not stand on his own.

Is anyone else having this problem with them? Are there any solutions such as compatible action figure stands? This is really disappointing to have dropped eighty dollars on a set of figures who can't be displayed.

im wicked happy with my sandtrooper. lately ive been posing him without his extra stuff a vanilla trooper with this standard gun. My big gripe though is that he doesnt have a holster. Im hoping the next trooper release will have one.

I think they showed the standard Trooper for series 3 has a holster. I mean Han in series 2 has a Trooper holster and his regular holster, so I can not see why the reg Trooper would not have his.

I have issues standing too. It is possible, but it takes focus and repeated attempts. I'm used to getting it almost right, and putting some downward pressure to lock things in place. Doing that with these don't work. And yes, Maul is the worst. When doing photos of him it was infuriating, I'd get him just right, he'd fall over, and it took 5 minutes getting him right again. Not fun when you are trying to do 100 different shots in an afternoon.

I'm just glad it's not just me. I was getting really ticked off trying to keep them on the shelf.
