The Energon Pub

I was not quite sure where to put this post, so apologies in advance if it is in the wrong place.

I am looking for clear stands that could be used to give the illusion of a Siege Seeker mold flying. I would also like to use it with Siege Spinster as well as the inevitable SS86 Swoop.

Can you please tell me what you recommend?

Thanks in advance!

So, if "the best" is out of the question, how about ANY stands that can work at all, with the modern TR, WFC, SS86 toys that have a hole in their butt?

Start by looking into the Tamashii Nation stands by Bandai, they have both the 3mm peg and clamps for smaller figures, and they should work well with Deluxe and Voyager. The Leaders don't have a proper port for them and honestly, I fear they may be a bit too heavy (Voyager is almost pushing it IMO).

Maybe this is a bit of a hack, but for Alt Mode Leaders you can try and look for clear plastic tables/stands at stores like The Container Store. Takes a bit more space, but with a little creativity you can hide the base.

Thanks! I was eyeballing the bandai 1/100 stands. I also came across this:

That's the base that came with the Kingdom Magnus Repaint into Optimus Prime from Takara. "Masterpiece Tenseg Optimus Prime".

It was available on its own in Red and Purple. The one that came with prime was gray.

You can still get them from Amazon Japan for cheap.

Whoops, guess they aren't shipping to the U.S. anymore.

Wouldn't have been a good option anyway the shipping would be 3X the cost of the stand.

Bandai "Action Bases" are a good option, I've been able to use the 1/100 base on Voyagers, particularly the Siege Seekers, no problem in either mode. They're sturdy, screw tightened, and they sell them everywhere.

This knockoff of the stand is well rated and comes in a two pack, but I can't vouch for the quality personally. https://www.amazon.com/MY-MIRONEY-Actio ... r=8-5&th=1
