What are the best transparent action figure stands to make my characters like Sentry and archangel fly? What do you guys use?

There are five different sources for ML stands.
The NECA one mentioned by Reefer Shark.
Obitsu stands
Bandai Tamashii Nations Stage Act 4 or Act 5
Mafex Stands
Toy Biz era Marvel Legends stands

-The Tamashii Nations act 4 is for figures, mostly for Bandai figure model kits, S.H. Figuarts, and Dragon Ball. The Act 5 is for Gundam, Transformers, or any robot style figure, but still works well with Marvel Legends and the other Bandai figures. Tamashii stands come 3 sets to a pack and are a better value ($14 for three on BBTS) than the retail priced NECA stands ($10 for one). The Tamashii stands also connect to one another for more stability and work with Tamashii effects that can be used with Marvel Legends. With the Tamashii Stands, you'll want to use the waist grabbing clips on ML, They come with both smaller and larger clips.
-The Obitsu stands can be found for around $6 a piece (Amazon has a set of 5 for $30 w/ free shipping right now). They have a smaller footprint but don't connect to one another and can be made to have Longer/taller arms. They also use the waist grabber clip for ML and come with three different sized clips.
-Mafex stands are hard to find and only come with figures.
-Toy Biz ML stands suck, I'd avoid them.

Hey. Got a question/opinion to ask y'all. Between the Legends 10 years 3 pack of Thanos and the SH Figuarts of Thanos, which is more film accurate? I have been comparing photos of the figures and the screenshots and I am unsure. I have the SHF but since he is going for about double what I paid, I am considering selling him and getting the 10 years version. I have more Legends in my collection than Figuarts and I typically reserve the Figuarts for the characters I REALLY love like Spidy and old Shell Head. But I think Thanos has been the best MCU baddie to date, so I am torn.
What say you?
 
SHFA is too clean, cartoony stylized and small for my liking ML all the way.

Not saying the SHFA is not pleasing to the eyes it certainly is but if you’re considering owning only one then there’s my answer.
 
Yeah, as mentioned in the SHF thread, that Thanos looks way cartoony - the face looks like a concept art of a Japanese cartoon.

The yellow on the chest armor and Gauntlet is also too bright. Lastly, he is missing the paint on the armor, which he has in the movie.

The ML has that paint on the armor, has the purple and gold much more accurate to the movie and lastly, has a better Brolin-resembling headsculpt. I would suggest defo to go with that one.

If you are looking for a cheaper solution for a movie accurate Thanos - get this:

It's the Diamond Select PVC statue. It costs only £40 and despite the missing paint from the chest armor, everything else is movie accurate. And the headsculpt is seriously good - looks like Brolin straight out of IW.
 
So to the best of my knowledge no marvel legends figure is truly produced in limited quantities (excluding con exclusives) so is the Vision/scarlet witch 2 pack going to show up at some online retailer at a more realistic price? I know it was a toys r us exclusive right around the time they went belly up but so was the thor/rocket/groot set and that has showed up at multiple retailers including amazon at a reduced price. In fact almost every multi pack hits amazon at a reduced price at some point. Really can think of any set that hasn’t. Are there thousands of these sitting somewhere at the moment waiting for a wider release?
 
Heads up-
The Kingpin Wave & the M'Baku Black Panther Wave are now up on Amazon for retail!
Just ordered Ulysses Klaue, Silver Sable, Night Thrasher, and Black Cat.
