Repurposed Phicen figure "snow base" for displays

So, saw this base which seems to be sold together? separately? w. Phicen's fantasy figure "Snow Soldier"...I thought, sure, EVERYONE dresses like that to go hiking in the winter on rocky terrain, especially the spiked heels!

But, saw some display possibilities with the BASE. Gotta say I'm impressed - plastic? resin? - heavy, but not TOO heavy. And best of all, IMO some impressive details and neat paint. Looked more like a good poly base than resin/plastic. I mean, there are little scattered leaves, spattered snow, the tree trunk looks real, etc.

Not saying you may or may not have to mod this (IMO it's drillable) and there are three almost-not noticeable pegs for the original fig (so she can stand in those heels), but I left them for now. To get a fig to stand DOES takes some futzing without putty/magnets etc. But I really like this base! Not sure yet if I'll keep the pegs or not - they aren't really noticeable.

E-bay has it for around 50$ - hmm, I'd say that's a little high unless free shipping, but IMO this is definitely worth sourcing and/or modding if needed, for a quick display boost. 'Coz IMO it's NICE. Wish Phicen had a few more bases out, besides ancient Greece etc.







Some quick cell pics - Thranduil came w. a nice base, but:





Can't afford the pricey Iron Studios Ultron Captain America?





But, I really bought this for my fav MCU character. Wasn't planning on doing a winter Winter Soldier, but I got this new "ghost" 1/6 long-range sniper rifle and it all just seemed so Bucky. Like a scene that might have happened "ghost sniper". And, this base will work for CW Bucky as well - for a lot of figs, I think.

Hey woa nice find I remember seeing that a while back I would love one for Captain America but it would limit my display space, I think Ive only seen one other member re-purpose a phicen base for Black Panther, they really are nice,
What is the size, do you think it fits in a detolf?

I coulnt find one for a good price, the only one I see $60 + $50 for shipping

Thanks! IMO it's great base! Did a quick measure of the base - OK, app. 6 inches high, 9 inches wide, roughly 8 inches deep. Don't have Detolfs (YET) but from what I've seen this would work, depending on pose of fig. It's heavy but not so much I'd worry about a glass shelf. Height might be an issue, IMO.

Quick WIP pic below is IKEA Hemnes bookshelf - display space shelf 12 inches wide, 22 inches high. Lost a whole shelf thanks to Falcon wings LOL - at the moment 3 Buckys and Falcon are taking up app. 20" wide of shelf space Hope this helps re scale.

Check out Monkey Depot, tho think their shipping can be high...https://www.monkeydepot.com/Display_Phicen_Snow_Soldier_Base_p/pcl0670.htm...

if they have any left. Worth IMO keeping an eye out - IMO it's great, but E-bay charging $100 total for it is BS.
