So when the Transformers Armada line finally brought us a transforming Supreme sized toy action figure we rejoiced, and since Unicron's planet-mode was kind of like a nostalgic (un)holy grail to us, we wanted to display him in that mode, letting him eat those stupid Mini-Cons. It was then we found out that he wasn't really a fully round planet and was impossible to display in said mode.
So along came Unicron.com, a fellow Transformers fan-site, and made a stand available which would let you display him in his planet-mode. The stand was cheap and had a wonderful design, sadly due to a design flaw the stand would often tilt over or in some cases even snap.
So since Armada Supreme Class Unicron was recently re-released with a much more G1 movie accurate colour scheme and head a different fan decided to make his own stand for this version the "Throne of Chaos". The producer of this new stand goes by the name of Brownnoize productions.
The price is stated to be USD 30 and is made in America out of crystal clear acrylic and is quite frankly a far more stable design than the Unicron.com stand.
We have mirrored some of the images of this incredible new stand, but you can click here for the original blog-post, however the post uses a lot of cursing and fowl language, so you might not want to check it out at work or school.
There is currently just one way of purchasing this stand, you have to send a pm to the main creator of it over at toyboxDX, you can visit his profile by clicking here payment will be done via pay-pal.
Update:
Brownnoize has updated it's blog with a contact form, just click here to get to it.

Not sure if I want to sign up for them to give me a shot at owning one, but it is cool, and looks much sturdier than the one that I have that makes me cry.

Not $30 nice, but nice none the less. The cut out on the front for the bottom part of the circle is my favorite part.

paypal is easy. i signed up with my hotmail account. then add my card (it takes credit or debit cards I think) to the paypal database. you can pay for goods and services or send people money (or have them send you money) and supposedly they're pretty good with getting your money back if something goes wrong.

It's a bit audacious to charge that much, I think.

Please get over yourself. This thing looks perfect. I guess none of you remember how much Unicron.com charged for their stand back in the day, and that piece of crap doesn't even work!
Speak for yourself, I'm buying two and laughing all the way to my collection case!!!!! So happy to see this today.
