OK I need a stand for Mikey...2 falls is all I can take. Second fall took out my Sideshow Leo statue, breaking his sword and bandana.
i use stands invented by Psycho, he posted their construction in this thread.
so far i made only one because my Leo began falling. i'll finish the rest once i have a cabinet for all turtles. probably will paint the poles black (the ones i got were very brown). or i won't bother painting them, as the color fits all brown parts of the figures.
so it's just a plaque, a stand for 1/4 dolls and a HT crouch holder.
the result at least doesn't allow the turtle to fall forward, though it doesn't actually support it by accepting its weight. which is not very good, as i'm afraid of groin pegs breakage under the figure's weight.
and here's what it looks like:
as you're from USA, the components will be very cheap for you, something like $10 as Psycho said.
for me they came out about $30 each.
