Very nice!
I just got a couple of the InArt bases sent super fast to the States sold from OSK--these things are game changers for the display! I got this one and the rocky base, but I had to share the quality. These shots were taken really fast with my phone, but I will take better shots of it later with my DSLR. I highly recommend it especially for Aragorn, Gandalf, heck any other LOTR figures!
Will be switching Gandalf to a more stable stand. Went to adjust a figure on the top shelf of my detolf and Gandalf (on the bottom shelf) face-plainted on the ground when I opened up the door. Noticeable paint rub on the end of his nose now. 
A shame because the stands are nicely detailed but the magnets are ****.

So lately, I have been moving away from the standard hot toys crotch grabbers and moving to a cleaner detolf. I started using a dab of museum gel that I think has been recommended in the forum to help with this. A lot of my figures are rock solid now against earthquakes. I noticed though it has trouble with figures that do not have a stable base like C-3PO who is in a close to pinpoint stance and is heavy and die-cast. I will most likely use it with all my others anyway even with environmental stands like these as I cannot trust the weak magnets that InArt is using at the moment.Will be switching Gandalf to a more stable stand.

Thank you, been encountering the same issue.

My Gandalf started leaning and eventually fell over while I was at work despite being placed on a metal surface. My copy's face survived, but the sword took a dent. Curse his weak ankles!
In other news, the photos of that riverside diorama make me want to pull the trigger on them now...
Best way to guarantee stability... while also not jamming the figures pants upward with those ridiculous crotch-grabbers.
I've started using the black metal stand, frustrating that inart still can't understand the fact the stands are weak!
I'd rather them add a grabber hole and piece you can pop out.

Would love to see that base up for sale up on OSK.

Are these yours? Man, how did you style Gandalf's hair? Mine was so crappy out of the box that made me loose all the love for the figure.

That guy is a posing god. Obviously there's a lot of lighting and angles involved for his pictures, but he's seriously creative. Love his work.

Water, hair product, a small make up brush and some tweezer. Even water and your fingertips alone would do it wonders.
Does anyone know how to get the troll diorama base? I cannot find DA Studios when I search for it.

Yan is a master of his art when posing and photographing the figures !
How do you get the bulb out of the staff to turn it off? The crystal comes out without the bulb.
Also how are you supposed to replace the batteries when they run out?
