swphreak Posted July 7, 2004 Posted July 7, 2004 How do some of you guys keep your action figures standing? Some of the figs I got just have horrible balance, and I'm trying to find something sticky to use. I'm testing to see how stickytack works (the stuff that's sticky and doesn't hurt paint, ect). Is there something that would help me keep them standing? I'm not likely to be buying special stands and whatnot to put the figs in.
swphreak Posted July 9, 2004 Author Posted July 9, 2004 Yeah, but I'm not gonna waste my money buying them.
Katarn07 Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 Depends on who it is. Battle Droids are impossible to get standing even with stands so don't fret if that's what it is. Just fool around with it for a while; I'm sure you'll get it. Most of mine don't have stands and have been standing for years now. If you can't get that down, how about some clay? It doesn't ruin the figure or the surface they're on. Just a small amount for each foot and they should stand. I have done that with a Super Battle Droid, a few basic Battle Droids, and my Acklay.
daring dueler Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 untrue about droids katarn. My droids all stand fine on stands(omit boomer damage) but yes clay...not playdo! it stains.
Katarn07 Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 I gave up on Boomer Damage a while back. He's on the ground with Tarpals zapping him with his tazer stick. The Battle Droids' legs bend and when they split apart, they're double hard to get standing in a decent pose and keep them there. Their legs are so weak, they bend and they just tip over eventually. I'll probably put them in some boiling hot water and rebend them all back into shape.
daring dueler Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 well, mine all stoof fine.......i dunno...what kinda stands u use?
Katarn07 Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 The round, shiny black ones from Brian. It doesn't matter if they're on a stand, their legs just start to bend and then they just lean over. The TPM and PotJ Security ones don't do it, just the AotC and PotJ Boomer Damage ones do. They cheapened up the plastic and they just bend over time.
daring dueler Posted July 17, 2004 Posted July 17, 2004 my stands have 2 pegs ( i have 50 brian black ones) i mainly use the ones form the fanclub. they seem to keep my droids fine.
daring dueler Posted July 17, 2004 Posted July 17, 2004 did any of those black stand pegs break of in your figures feet?? they did to me...
Katarn07 Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 Originally posted by daring dueler did any of those black stand pegs break of in your figures feet?? they did to me... No. That'd suck. Can you pry it out with something?
daring dueler Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 i got some out with a dentist pick i use for customs...but my kez iban from droids still has one in his foot.
Katarn07 Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 That vintage or Star Tours you're referring to? Dentist pick is the best you can really go so if you can't get it out with that, I guess it's in there for good.
daring dueler Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 there is no keziban in star tours...yes vintage. yeah, i cant quite get his out without damaging him.
Katarn07 Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Hrm, hot water would do the trick in getting it out without wrecking him but I don't know if a vintage guy can withstand the heat without damage. I wouldn't try it.
ZBomber Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 I just kinda lean them against something since all my places where I put them have a back of some kind.
daring dueler Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 his plastic is harder, dont wanna risk it...ill have to leave it in...
dark jedi 8 Posted July 24, 2004 Posted July 24, 2004 i use the clear stands w/2 pegs. they work fine except for the battle droids (boomer damage). but my AOTC droids stand find, no bending.
daring dueler Posted July 24, 2004 Posted July 24, 2004 yup, same with me darkjedi, t peg stands, plus others, but all my droids minus boomer damage are fine.
Katarn07 Posted July 25, 2004 Posted July 25, 2004 Where did you guys get those? I got mine from Brian and they're glossy black with only one peg. I need two I guess for my AotC droids.
daring dueler Posted July 25, 2004 Posted July 25, 2004 i got a few clear ones from brians (one peg) , some black one peg, but i got the two pegs at the star wars fan club store, its a little more expensive, but its like 20 in a bag, forgot the price, but its worth it.
Katarn07 Posted July 25, 2004 Posted July 25, 2004 The thing with 2 pegs is that not all of the figures have the same stance. How can all figures fit on the two pegs? Do the red battle droids from the Clone Wars 3 packs fit? How about the Saga AotC White/ Red one? Those are my main problems....
daring dueler Posted July 26, 2004 Posted July 26, 2004 they all fit for me, most figures legs fit good....umm some of mine use one peg on thje tow peggers, but battle droids can use both if put correctly....btw no their legs arnt stretched apart to fit.
dark jedi 8 Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 same here, most of them fit fine with minimal adjustment. but i really like those long stands that come with the TRU packs. (imperial forces, bounty hunters) they allow for more movement with some figures. and i'm pretty sure i either got the stands from the fan club store or cloudcity. can't remember.
