There must be a way to curve the "c" into a "u" without too much problem. I've never tried though, it's just a thought I had. I'll take a look and might try with an extra I have.
To "convert" the "c" into a "u" isn't a problem - I've done this.
But only to find out that the "v" part is about one inch too long.
Remember, the "c" shaped stand is holding the figure at waist hight.
But it should be such a big thing to get a wire and just make a "u"-holder from scratch.
