The stand was designed with this in mind. It is a cover for a container (same hex shape) for the smaller accessories.
We all know once the accessories or hands are placed back in the box, we wouldn't take it out for eternity. The stand as the container for lose small accessories such as hands will provide easy access, thus increase the enjoyment of the figures.
I took it out because of 2 reasons, increase MSRP and increase packaging volume.
Creating individual slots for the relax hands on the tray itself do not coincide with our Packaging design, in which we want to make the volume of the packaging as small as possible without adding cost. Adding slots with empty space increase surface area.
I want to reduce Dead Space as much as possible, which means reduce packaging volume, reduces material used .... all in all is about reducing waste for this planet.
Additional parts for the stand will be available for the more important releases. (I even have mini spot lights fixture for the stand) I even want to use those eggs shell recycle paper for packaging.
