Hey Everyone,

Do you guy's / girl's use the little plastic figure stands for loose kenner figures??

Or do you think it will damage the hole in the figures foot?

IS THIS A STUPID QUESTION??

Cheers. :o

not shure on this one my self i suppose you could put it down to the individual
i think most people use stands as the hole in the foot is not seen anyway
and it is better than the figure falling off all the time and doing more damage
you could use carls blu tac trick again laugh loud

just a question that does come to mind wile we are on the subject
does afa down grade for figures that have been on stands scratch

Stands are essential once you build up a hefty loose set. And IMO, the damn figures falling over every 5 minutes is likely to cause more damage than the plastic stand. There's a great company on ebay that does them.

Yeah I agree the stands are good although I have bagged all my figures and wrapped them in them in scent free plain toilet paper PMSL and put them away how sad am I Thumbs Down
It makes me feel bad that I dont display my loose figures it took me years to get my minty figures and I think the OCD has taken over with them haha

That's why I got rid of all my loose stuff it just wasn't getting displayed and I had boxes full of stuff. It's nice to see a full set of minty loose figures but you defo need stands!

Hadn't thought about the tissue paper thing, might try that lol quilted three ply Wink

I didn't even like the stands for fear of marking the feet, Han Solo going over three times and taking others with him saw right to that lol

The small circular ones i was advised on from members on here was probably the best £2.50 i've spent to be honest.

its a good job you don't use the old type paper like they used to have at school
they would slip right back out

you know the type when you wiped it slipped to the other side ha ha

The best figure stands are made by Protech the same as the star cases.
The stands will not mark your figures and are a must if you want to display your minty loose.
You can get different sizes in stands and you can also get stands for vintage and modern figures.
Modern figures have bigger peg holes than vintage
