Nice job!


The other week you had asked about figure stands. I picked up a set of the figure stands I linked to on Amazon and they arrived today.

The figure stands have to be assembled so you'll need a small Phillips head screw driver and some side cutters since most of the pieces are on a spru. I assembled two stands and used them with the Marvel Legends Miles Morales and Iron Man Mark 85 as well as the DC Multiverse Hal Jordan.

I left out one of the arms on the stand that I assembled for Miles. I then took that extra arm and put it into the larger stand that I have Iron Man on. The height with that extra arm piece makes the height comparable to a Mezco stand.



Miles' stand uses the base, a normal length arm, a shorter length arm, the clamp, and the pieces that connect to the base and the clamp to the arm pieces. I had a little trouble placing Iron Man in this set up. I haven't tried it yet but I'm sure he'll do just fine using two normal length arm pieces rather than one normal and one short.

One important thing to note is that the bases are rounded on top.



I didn't attempt any sort of pose with Hal Jordan. I just threw him into the taller stand to see how it'd perform.




Overall, the stands are fine. IMO, you're getting what you paid for with these. They're very affordable and they seem suitable for keeping your figures standing. The bases also have a small diameter which means less space is taken up on your shelf. They also work with larger scale figures like DC Multiverse.

However, the stands are not perfect. The smaller diameter of the display base means they'll tip over easier when you have a figure in a flying pose. I would suggest using two of these stands if you're displaying a figure in a flight pose. Also, the plastic quality isn't on par with Tamashii, Mafex, and Mezco stands. The plastic just feels a little weaker than what's used on the big name stands. The only way I see this being an issue is if you're constantly taking figures out of the clamps to repose them or if you plan on leaving a larger figure, such has a DC Multiverse figure, in a flight pose with only one stand.
