Action Figure Stands
Were you disappointed that your action figure didn’t come with a stand? With such a big investment in collectibles sometime it is the little things we forget. It is ok to keep your collection cost down, but remember you need to also protect your investment.
Self Standing Figure
So many action figures these days can stand on their own. Dynamic poses are a challenge and sometime it becomes a balancing act. But, even the very basic pose can come at risk. We feel the most important use of stands is to protect your action figure from falling over. When an action figure falls on its nicely sculpted head, if it survives, can sometime chip the paint. Collectors must decide what is important to them when using stands both for photography, displaying and simply just having fun.
