sadly no. your best bet is to buy a year 2 or higher figure you dont need and use its stand, or if you have left over GIJoe, or Star Wars Stands, use them. sucks dont it.

I bought 75 of the clear ones and then noticed they were a little too big. Took a dremel and shaved a tiny bit from each one, took about 10 minutes. Problem solved

If they're the same diameter as the 25th GI Joe stuff you can try here: Marauder "Gun-Runners" Home Page

What about the figures that have very shallow peg holes?

I have been thinking about casting the newer MU stands and then making custom labels for them so that I can have matching stands but I am not sure if it will be worth the time and energy yet.

I've been having trouble using GI Joe 25th stands with MU. Especially Dark Wolverine, he just won't stand for it. (HAH CHEAP JOKE.)

I've been considering that actually. Unless I find a stand that works better, I'll probably end up going that route.

The hot glue doesn't mess with the figure at all it peels right off. Just don't put it in the peg hole instead in-front of it. I figure out that was retarded once i tried to get it out...Also works good for loose joints. I Hot glue my Thanos holding silver surfer by the head looks fucking great! Check it out!

That does look cool. Is that from that tru three pack? I wasn't crazy about the colors on him and might do something similar instead of having a figure laying around that I'm not too fond of.

nice pic haha, yeh hot glue can do wonders, especially for the super tiny figures like antman or wasp. and if your trying to pull off spectacular action poses.. like spidey upside down or iron man blasting down from the ceiling.. if you take time and actually mak loose strands and criss cross you can make a cool looking web for spidey paint it white, or red for blood effects, blue for water. glue comes in handy.. as for the stands there are other sites available then their's

I ordered a 20 piece set of black stands from smalljoes.com. It's got 4 pegs so you can pose your figures in different stances. here's the link ->smalljoes

You really dont needs stands at all- ever.
Just blow $5 on Quake Hold- works awesome, wont hurt the figure (it comes right off) and one pack will probably cover your entire MU collection (it did mine- and I've still got a third left). http://www.amazon.com/Quakehold-8811...5102119&sr=8-1 Basicly, it's a type of modeing gum made to hold breakable to shelves in an earthquake- and it's perfect for under an action figure's foot- even complex poses! Seriously, figures look ten times better in a group without those bases. Last edited by Jason Abbadon; 05-11-2011 at 01:23 AM.. |

The ones from Smalljoes.com doesn't work on all MUs. For example, i was just trying it on my Dark Wolverine, and the hole is too small, and I don't want to drill a bigger hole just to fit that stand. Oh, yeah, and the shipping isn't cheap either.
