Am I the only collector who wishes Hot Toys had stuck to a standard size for their Star Wars bases, basically a rectangle with some kind of environment on top for the figure to stand on? When they first came out I didn't like the bases - they looked a bit chunky and boring - but as I move figures around and look at different display options the more I realise that they do the job brilliantly. You get a line of figures with adequate space for them to look their best, which line up perfectly and give the impression of something that is reminiscent of the old Kenner line ups. They look absolutely fantastic on a shelf, and the height adds to the impression. I got a couple extra for the Tama Threepio and SS Artoo but they're quite pricey.
I was pleased that they gave Fett one, albeit a slightly weird Death Star/ Jabba's Palace hybrid. However, Yoda isn't coming with this kind of base, and the TFA figures have something different, that hexagon. Obviously I wouldn't want Death star grates with all of them but how hard would it be to do something like the Sandtrooper - the rectangle with sand on top, or mud, or snow...?
Rant over! Obviously if you're not somewhat OCD then you can go about your business. Move along, move along...
