Re: NECA: 1/4 The Avengers
oh, man. Your IM can't wait to get himself BD'd huh? JK
But yeah, NECA 1/4's should come with a leg support of some kind. I'm not thinking of a 1/4 scale-sized stand similar to the basic 1/6 stands. I'm thinking of something similar to the standard medicom stands -- a leg or waist brace and pole of clear plastic made a tad bigger, with a way bigger base to support and provide extra balance. NECA figures are hefty. I love it, as to me it gives more quality to the figure instead of it being rotocasted, but I noticed that it leaves too much strain on the feet joints. My 1/4 preds are all standing against the wall, with a subtle hip thrust so they're safely leaning back.
ha ha ha ha - this thread got hilarious fast...
The ankles on IM are really ball in sockets and don't actually lend themselves too well to forward or backward placement due to the joint design and the armor plate covering the front of the foot - that said, my IM took a shelf dive (about 3 feet) and his head broke in two, revealing his inner glowy eye-light up parts. Some fast acting glue gel and a bit of reassembly and he's good as new...so he's really pretty durable (except for the whole "my head broke into 3 pieces part")
Anyhow - full review hopefully later this week over at www.figures.com
