dont worry im sure we will see somthing soon, the oscars are coming up and the dvd comes out in april.

I know I'm late, but I finally seen the movie.

I didn't realize how tall the na'vi are. The figures would have to be around 24-30" tall in-scale!

 

[Ash Housewares]

You're kidding right? They are at the most twice as tall as humans. I'm guessing these will be around 20 inches.

 

[Sachiel]

Hmm, yeah. You're right. They did seem taller, though.

[Ash Housewares]

Nice comparison. So about just over a 3rd bigger. So around 18-20 inches.

Wonder how the balance will be on these things. If have to resort to using a stand, hope its a discrete one or something because I dont like using stands

That's great to hear!

I was starting to think that I was the only one who only used stands as an absolute last resort.



ANTI-STAND COLLECTORS UNITE!!!

How can you guys take the risk of these hugely expensive figures toppling to their demise?? When it comes to figures it really is the bigger they are the harder they fall. Stands are a small price to pay.

True, but hopefully the bigger they are the bigger their feet! Thus providing a bigger wheel-base, so to speak. If the figures are well made (as all Hot Toys figures are), and the joints are sturdy, then a stand shouldn't be necessary. Although being barefoot could be a problem for stability. We'll just have to see.

But If I don't have to use a stand I wont.

I used stands at first because I was afraid they would take a tumble. But they limited my posing options so stopped using them so I could just get better poses. Whether its stood differently, stepping of a base (like predators base) or mid action poses like Darth Maul or Iron Man. Some look better just stood there all intimidating, like Batman, but some really look best when theres some movement implied.

Once find the centre of balance then its no problem. Way I test if its stable enough is get it posed and then blow on it as hard as I can from all directions to see if its off balance. Works for me. Sounds daft but does work. Only time anything has taken a bit of a tumble is when I've been a clumzy klutz and knocked the shelf or figure or what ever, causing it to lose its balance. But then I've been there to scream like a girl and catch it.

Maybe they will provide an environmental stand like the P1 stand or JCFB stand. Thus more of us wouldn't mind using those stands.
