I'm asking for advise from some experienced collectors. . .
*I've also looked for a thread specifically about this, but can't find one. It must be a common question, so apologies.*
I like posing my figures and setting up scenes, but I've decided to just use figure stands for my more expensive custom figures. (Think Detolf type displays).
With regards to buying stands, what do you guys generally go for? The crotch-grabber type? The ones that grip around the waist? What do you feel are the pros and cons to each? Is there a specific one that works brilliantly with most figures? Or do the cheap ones work just as well?
Of course, I understand that it can depend on the type of figure you're displaying, but a general consensus would be fantastic, and any links would also be appreciated. I'm in the UK at the moment, so Stateside stores are no good for me (Ebay or China would be best). I have a few hundred figures, but don't want to use the stands from official ones on customs.
I've seen the very cheap crotch-grabber stands on Ebay at around $3 or $4. These are appealing because I do need 20 or so, but I'm holding off.
Hope that all makes sense, and thanks in advance!
