These stands were initially created to fulfill my own personal needs.

There's no uniform industry specifications for foot peg sockets. Many are determined by the complexity of ankle joint tooling. Not only does diameter and depth vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but often within the same brand.

With this in mind, I tried to create a variety of universal options, if that makes sense.

THE PEGS: These pegs are shorter than found on your typical stand to accommodate figures afflicted with ‘shallow socket syndrome’, allowing them to stand flat on the surface. Providing two pegs helps to better secure them. It truly makes a difference. While not everyone is into lining their figures up in perfect formation, those who do will appreciate how specialized peg placements finally allow all figures to stand shoulder to shoulder no matter where their peg sockets are located.

THE BASE: While the rectangular base may feel generic, it lends itself to the illusion of a mini-environment, each figure standing on a section of floor, or desert sand, or frozen tundra. Connect them together to make a bigger floor. The dimensions provide extra stability for those times when gravity is unusually annoying.

INTERLOCK: The interlocking feature was engineered with modularity in mind. The U channel allows you to expand your display in any configuration you can imagine, two dimensionally... for now.

PLATOON BASE: This is unlike anything that's come before. Although these were designed to display up to 40 figures at a time in military formation, you're not required to do so. The added benefit of this system is being able to move all your figures in one fell swoop. With the squad plate holders, you can also easily swap out portions of your display as desired.

What I found most surprising is that these stands really work! Using them in my own 1200 trooper display, not only have they lined my troopers up more precisely, the stands have given the entire presentation more stability as a whole. No more dropping one figure and having many fall. All I have to do now is just dig the fallen trooper out from between the others.

It's important to note, however, that no single stand system will fit every figure. Not yet, anyway...

That said, I truly hope you find these stands useful.
