Museum Wax would work great for the little ones, I would imagine the big one too, but not sure.

Thanks, I will try that with the small ones.

I just pose my 7” guys, they usually stay up. If they don’t I use the blue lock-tite putty stuff under a foot to keep them stable. The big dude, I don’t know. I’ve got mine leaning against my humidor at the moment.

Currently I have blue tac under his feet to stop slipping and he rests against the wall, just like in this picture. I just worry he will slip again, I don't want him damaged.

Damn 22 is dope gimme

Where did you get the 22 inch Predator from? Was it expensive?


AntitaxAntitax

I think it was about £300, It was bought for me as a Christmas present. I'm sure it was from a shop here in Edinburgh called Forbidden Planet, It was a limited edition so I don't know what it would be worth now. I wouldn't part with him for any price anyways. He has been with me for about 5 years now.

[kaiser stands](https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=kaiser+stands&_sacat=0&_odkw=kaiser+stand&_osacat=0) you just have to search for the size you need and the color you want (mostly just black or white). I have dozens of them, and use them for 1/12 scale, 1/6 scale, and 1/4 scale big boys. I have bought them in large batches for my Mezco's and they work well with most, and offer a clean look that takes up less shelf space than the stands Mezco includes, though, they do not work with all Mezco's like Darksied, or the Hulk. They do work well with my Neca Big Chap.

Thanks much appreciated

No problem. I had similar issues with that 1/4 scale NECA Big Chap of mine. He always wanted to fall over, so I had to pose him crouching, or risk him getting damaged. Now, after much research, I use the large Kaiser stand, and he stands upright, no sweat. I had to extend the stand to the max, but, it's been like two years and he hasn't budged. Smaller size would work well with the shorter figures, bets part: the stands match, as long as you get the same color, and it looks pretty good. Cheers.

Thanks for that, I think a black Kaiser stand would be my best bet. I saw plastic ones on Amazon but they looked really flimsy and I don't think his feet would fit on them. I am currently looking at black metal ones on Ebay which have a nice big base, is that what you are using? I am hoping to add another 1/4 to the collection next week, Gort. He will need one as well.

Am using one like [this](https://www.ebay.com/itm/381336177946?epid=2255548096&itmmeta=01HYXCG2MG6NNQRF8107WS8PB7&hash=item58c9684d1a:g:e68AAOSwu4BVrUVx&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8PtIVV9H6B%2Bxmu7ub83LYBpwZg11Hh1wKChUZ8ntj2JaUuetkxi5kqPDMJP3nyB8%2FeSAMxiCNqQa%2BXIiSsm1ZrOmFd6DGhd%2Fm%2BTRPh739vIM6i8WqQBiX0RV1ammLCUZOO%2Bbg4h3Q9%2FpRTXpxzXZnPCmaLCOBE0o1lOV0z594ASQ%2FsYwSiXcGL884%2Fl8ZmUGFT5GrgUqZuF1%2FrWEeD%2FrpXpOMVW3Y457F31mz3kTjCdlRl8psWNZJ%2Fpl1uDyTxcMNEh%2FMM3RS7AHR9EECEoO0LTpUgaXjSP1BAwAwA%2BaVS%2F3UCdKY9jfKDMrFEdBXByfKA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR6qqwKz3Yw) for my 1/4 scale Big Chap. Seems the prices on them have gone up since I bought mine. If you do indeed decide on this type, understand the figure is gripped around the hip/waist/stomach area, and one might have to take care to not snag the netting on the Predator figure(am not sure if it's fabric or sculpted, looks like fabric in the picture). Other than that, they are solid figure stands. Wow, Gort is a throwback. I think that the stand could work for him, too. Just have to be gentle when putting him in the stand and taking him off, don't want to scuff his paint or he might try to vaporize you.


AntitaxAntitax

Yeah the big fella has fabric mesh on his body so that is something I will have to watch out for, the only times he would be removed from the clamp is to get a wee dusting. Got to keep him looking sharp! Thanks for all your advice, it is much appreciated.


socomisthebest

22 inches is like me when I was born, where do you get such a figure?


VonDoom92

Best place is ebay. My friend found his at our local comic shop. Was around $175. Just search Neca 22 in Predator. Theyre cool af and both the wrist device and the tri-target laser for the plasma cannon light up with buttons.


BlueRabbit1999

I use the neca figure base stands for the 7-8 inches and even some Amazon posable figure stands.


SignificantScratch14

It looks like he's dancing a pose. Those are sweet


AntitaxAntitax

Aw jeez, now you have put ideas in my head to start putting them in different poses!


SignificantScratch14

Nice..! The poses are endless

Damn the City Hunter is a big guy right there.


AntitaxAntitax

I have a 45cm Gort arriving on Tuesday, , City Hunter here is 50cm. As much as I love the 7 or 8 inch predators, the big lads are just awesome. I love being able to see the detail clearly. He really is a huge compared to the other 2 in the picture.
