| 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 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 |

| 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 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! _______________________________________________ always looking to buy moc stormiesmy focusClick Heremy wants listClick Here |

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

| 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 |
