Yeah, there is that.

Does anyone know any good stages for Figuarts? I recently bought Goodsmile Company's The Simple Stand and the connection sheared right off! It was my first time wiht an action stand so I didn't know how snug the connection was suppsoed to be, but it felt a bit too tight.

I get that Tamashii Stages are, like, the default answer, but I'm wondering if there are other alternatives as well. Otherwise I'm inclined to just make my own stand out of wire, but I would really prefer that as a last resort because of how tacky they can look.

Yeah, $20 wasted. I don't think the connection would be as strong even if I tried to fix it by isntalling a wire inside, so I don't know if I should even bother.

I've been tempted to get some knockoff tamashii stands from amazon, where a pack of 10 is around 20 bucks or so

FWIW, the newer tamashii stands come in a 2-pack

An Action Base 6 or 7 coud also work if you're ok with building something from a runner.

Not sure if Bandai Action Bases have the strength to support the weight of a Figuart.

I would strongly look into the Act 4 for Humanoid. The redesigned arm is a boon if you're tight for space and the third point of contact means you can hold a dynamic/airborne pose a lot better without worrying about the figure falling out from the clamp. Plus it's fairly inexpensive and easy to find just about anywhere.

How durable are they? Because I do not like the idea of paying for this, plus shipping (Act 4 is like, 50 bucks here in Australia for some reason so I have to buy from Japan), and then have them break on me like Goodsmile's did.

The plastic Bandai uses feels a lot better than the plastic Goodsmile does. I've had the peg that goes into the figure on a GSC stand break twice; worst I've ever had with the Tamashii stages is the opposite of what happened to you, the port for the peg cracking due to ever so slightly diameters between the many, many, many releases of the Tamashii stand. But as long as you keep them together it's not that big of an issue and even then, it's a solid connection and holds really well.

Tamashii is going to do a reprint of Ultraman Zero Beyond from Geed as a webshop release - https://tamashiiweb.com/item/15105/?wovn=en

They are also going to release a clear version of Ultraman Belial, which looks pretty cool, ngl. There’s no website link right now.

If you are an ultraman geed fan, things are looking pretty good right now. Hope we get that solid burning form of Geed announced.

Royal MegaMaster reprint with cloth cape, I beg of you
