Got a set of stands finished for a member. Now I just wish PC would ship my three pack out. I've got a stand planned for Slimer so that I can get him raised a bit higher than he is now.

Even if the BW stands were stable I wouldn’t use them. The figures are so high end looking and the cheap flimsy stands do nothing to add to the high end look. Think of all the good hot toys bases. Imagine if each ghostbuster had a scene like a marshmallow mess street, slime street, temple portion, or firehouse backdrop. Better yet, one particular scene that joins all 4 guys together. They are pricey enough that this could and should have been in there already.

40s "men" still cry about being bullied here
Those are great. Look very stable to hold them. Even on a regular true type stand, these fellas want to do backflips off them constantly if you don't balance them right.

what is Gozer's real gender? Does it even have one? The phones are now open.
Gozer is a genderless god. It chooses whatever "default" form it wants before having it's "destructor" form chosen for it. It took an androgynous form, because that was contemporary at the time it arrived in this dimension (80s, David Bowie, Boy George, Prince etc.)
In the end, the guys didn't destroy Gozer. They just destroyed the portal, and sent it back to its dimension. Any time it manifests in our dimension it's literally stuck in the form of Stay Puft, because that's what Ray chose. That's why when the Cult of Gozer summoned it up in GB3 (The Videogame) it was in the form of Stay Puft.
RE:SLIMER
I'm not too impressed with the Slimer. I was gonna buy all four guys anyway, so I got the four pack. In that sense, Slimer was just a cool pack in. I think it's too small, and the sculpt itself is not accurate at all to GB1 or 2. It looks more like a weird amalgam of the RGB and GBRemake Slimers.
Now that's an interesting way to go with your display. **** the 3 other guys.
Did you just seriously and quite autistically answer that joke question with a straight answer?

Those stands are amazing. They vaguely look like the ledge of the apartment building and I think they'd look even cooler with a concrete paint up. What does a raw set run anyway?

I don't know what you're talking about.
SilverStar was joking. But you answered completely straight. That was funny.

And I knew what you were talking about. I also knew he was joking about the gender thing. I was only expounding on the discussion at hand.
Don't worry. I didn't push my glasses up on the bridge of my nose, and preface my post with, "Well, actually..."
Just thought that information might be interesting to people that didn't even realize Stay Puft was Gozer, but whatever. Here's some LOLs so you don't mistake this post as serious too: LOLOLOL.

Finally. You had me worried.

I have them on just blank generic oval stands, and they do want to do backflips if you don't balance them right indeed. Their feet have to be positively flat. However, if that is done, they seem to stand fine on oval crotch grabbers.
Alice's serious detailed response was still interesting to read though regardless. Thank you, Alice.
I would actually largely agree with you. However, food for thought: Vinz Clortho referred to Gozer as a male. "Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms." Right from the mouth of one of Gozer's minions.
Gozer's a tranny.

Well, if you want to get SERIOUS *dun dun duuuuun* Vinz could have been using "he" in the neutral sense, the way we may refer to a group of people as "guys" even when there are females in the group. Or when we call an inanimate object "he" or "she." Gozer's default form in it's own dimension could easily resemble a male. In Norse mythology, Loki took the form of a mare and gave birth to Odin's horse, Sleipnir, so even though he appeared male in his default form he could become whatever gender he wanted.
Or, it could just be left over remnants of the old scripts where Gozer was supposed to appear in the form of Ivo Shandor, who looked like a generic man in a suit and tie.
Either way, in terms of lore (from Aykroyd), Gozer is genderless.
Come on. You know the proper term nowadays is gender fluid.

Venkman also referred to Gozer as a male. "Gozer was very big in Sumeria, big guy." I would think Venkman was using it in a more neutral sense though than Vinz; you wouldn't usually use "he" in a neutral sense when referring to a single person if that person was indeed female, in the same way you would "guys" for a group of people or "guy" if you don't know what the gender actually is.
As I mentioned though, if I were being serious, I would concur that Gozer is a genderless entity that merely takes the form of whatever it wants. Like that of a giant sloar.
