What kinda stands? Something to just stand 'em up or something for more dynamic poses?

With the SH Monsterarts
With the Neca

I'm not as well versed as others in here but I got this five pack a while ago and they've served me well. Stands can be altered to have the jointed arm for dynamic poses, or just a single piece to stand a fig up. I think there are also pieces for peg holes in figs' backs too (I usually use the clips). Very good odds some other website I'm not familiar with has better prices though.
Nope, compared to suit ref pics it's pretty spot on.
I use figuarts stands, but they can be on the small size depending on the figure
Man, I love this Mafex Alien. Great scale for the Black Series and other SW Mafex- here with the Mafex Fett
I'd say this one. The Medicom RAH version is really good too, but bigger scale and doesn't have the pose-ability of this one, and the paint/color is lacking. Plus this one has different hands.
It ain't too bad honestly, there's YouTube videos that walk you through it. But if you aren't confident in your fine motor skills or whatever (soldering experience etc.) I totally feel you. There's a bit of a learning curve. That's part of the fun of having figures for me! 😁
God I wished I would have grabbed a Kenner Alien as a kid. Loved the commercials. They went off the market REAL fast.
I might give it a try soon because I've been wanting to build custom dioramas at some point, but having never done that before, starting small with effects pieces might be good practice to work up to bigger projects.
So far for effect parts and bits I've pretty much been going the ebay route for stuff but shipping takes a while since a lot of it seems to come from China. That or I've just repurposed effects from other figures. A recent example is the Hasbro Lightning Collection White Ranger, which I wasn't thinking of getting but I saw it in-store and noticed it came with a blue effect piece that I don't remember seeing on the show itself. I immediately thought it'd work okay with Figuarts DBZ figures as a kamehameha charging effect, even though it's not quite as cool as the actual Bandai piece that came with one of their old Goku figures. Works okay with my Figuarts Gogeta I think,.

Humidity can def cause issues. This dew point calculator might help you out a bit.
I might be willing to part with mine at some point. It has some sentimental value but it just sits in my closet and has accrued some damage over the years (arms and tail have broken off, still have all the parts just need to figure out how to put it all back together) and I'd rather it be somewhere where it'll be taken care of and displayed.
im going to need them all
They've only announced the one so far, so I wouldn't get my hopes up for a whole collection of them.Wait Figma is making Call of Duty figures?
if they make
im going to need them all
Oh I know, Figma is horrendous about 1offs and uncompleted casts.
Wonfes is this weekend anyway, so we'll see what gets announced.
You can go ahead, and laugh. :(
I managed to get a pre-order in for the 40th vintage style Black Series Boba Fett here in the UK for £39.99. Sold out almost immediately when he went live but thankfully was given the heads up the night before. Got the Sith Trooper and TVC Luke 3 pack ordered too!
145 on the figs mentioned! Preordered the Boba Fett helmet too so that's another 100 quid! Then there's the NECA ultimate pinhead, Dog Alien and Big Chap
