Thanks man , I really appreciate it ![emoji1360][emoji1317]

I did this with a spare KO HS I had of her..I was surprised the tiara came off easily, barely glued to the head

Would you share a picture of the final result? Thsnks [emoji1317]

This is the most realistic HT figure I have, the pose "I Am Toys" shared is what I'll probably stick to for long term storage

One HUUUGEEE negative, HT is too lazy to come up with a decent stand, the wire holders are completely incompatible with this figure, it's a huge shame

Figure itself is extremely balanced, so the wires just stand free between her legs - the body is beyond awesome, the plastic hair is perfect, the feet are the lowpoint of this figure, it's a 1/10 for the feet/shoes in terms of aesthetics

You could always swap the crotch grabber out of the stand post for a waist grabber. However, whenever possible, I much prefer a crotch grabber over a waist grabber.

I don't mind the crotch grabbers but wish they would switch to clear plastic stands instead of the black. Just kills the look sometimes when you see that black pole between their legs.

I think not inserting the pole would've been a good option, once inserted, I don't think it can get out easy, unless someone bumps into the display stand very hard, this figure is the most stable figure I have in terms of it's standing

I've never been too crazy about those crotch grabbers either, and early on avoided using them when I could. But after a few hard falls (that didn't cause any damage but completely messed up a carefully futzed and posed figure) I finally made my peace with them.

It would be cool though to have just a clear rod that simply attached to the back of the figure with a strong magnet (that was either sewn into the outfit or built into the body). Since all you really need most of the time is just enough to keep a figure from toppling over.

I stole Hot Toys idea about using what I call a crotch cradle after getting their BvS Batman. Among other benefits it hides so much better than the grabbers and is usually less intrusive. It offers just enough support that I don’t have to worry about my figures falling over when we have mild quakes.

I’ll be making a grassy stand for my Training version as soon as I get it it using this holder design.

When you make that "grassy" version of the stand for her, please post shots and let us know if it would be available...knowing your work, it should look great!

This figure looks glorious from the pics shown so far, but the included stand is an abomination. The rest of the presentation for this figure is beautiful- the figure itself and the very classy packaging. It's just such an odd move that the stand they included looks like a piece of bad party table kitsch, ready to hold party favors, not a classy-looking figure.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Will do, JB. Really looking forward to getting her all set up properly.

Now that looks great! Exactly how a stand should be, beautiful yet minimalist.

The clear plastic makes a big difference and yes those crotch cradles are an improvement over the prongs HT usually use.

Coco, do you have the capability to produce a post to replace the Iron Man mark 43's diorama base one? That figure has a metal post with threads which screw in, but I'd love to have a clear stand to obscure it more.

I’m not sure why HT didn’t run with that design. It really works well.

It’d take some doing but I’m sure it’s possible. You just want a clear post made to screw into the threaded hole in the stand?

Exactly. I've been shopping around on the idea but haven't found anything quite like it yet. I had thought it might end up needing to be an acrylic rod with a threaded cap placed on it when it's all said and done, as I don't know how easy threading a matching post would be.

I like the Hot Toys JL stands but wish they used clear posts. They really need to update some of their old designs.

Updates are exactly what should be done. Look at what Coco or Stoney's Stands are doing. They're modifying existing designs to be better. The solid colored posts are out of vogue now.

Nice base and stand. I agree that those crotch cradles that the BvS figures came with are probably the best type of stands. They work as well as crotch grabbers and like you stated, are less intrusive.

 

[Darkavatar]

Saw this on OSR, I thought it looked pretty good.

 

[davejames]

Yeah that doesn't look too bad, although that Barbie dress still always looks a bit too simple and cheap to me compared to how it looked in the movie, which is why I've never felt tempted to try it myself.
