SpaceCowboy Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 So, I know about the official Yamato black stand for the toys, but personally, I think $40-$50 is a little ridiculous for a stand, but what do you expect from Yamato... So, I'm here to ask has anyone found a good alternative to display their valks in fighter mode for closer to $10 a stand? I'd like to have something for my 1/72 YF-21, VF-11B, and my Bandai VF-17 and VF-19. As you can see - buying the yamato stands for all of these would be a little bit prohibitive. So what are my options, either homemade or cheaper alternative stands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafunguy Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I'll reply since I don't like seeing a thread with no response. Search "FlexiDisplay" or "Flexi Display" Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigkid24 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Both KiriK and I did reviews on the Gundam stands that are available for about $6. http://animepunch.com/forums/viewtopic.php...ht=gundam+stand They aren't the most stable but they are pretty good for a budget.

JuanJovv Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) Yea that stands are great inclusive you can used that whit the YF-19 Yamato 1/60 regards and good luck Edited August 27, 2008 by JuanJovv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdaniels Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) After looking at those pics I just got an idea to make my own. I've got a 100 dvd spindle case that's about as high as those. Now drill or cut a hole at the top of the black pole and put the Yamato display clips there along with your valk. The wide base makes it very sturdy and you get to use the clips without having to pay for the actual stand. The downside is that you can't adjust the stand. Now this is all in my head so don't blame me if it doesn't work. Edited August 27, 2008 by jackdaniels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie addict Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) yeah, it really sucks when have to buy things when you know they are worth less anyway, Lost and Found toys is the distributor of the famous clear flexistands you can see a lot of members here own, they are truly the best and worth it, right know they are restocking and are taking preorders hope it helps EDIT: hey, great idea jackdaniels, I should try that out too Edited August 27, 2008 by Valkyrie addict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoosh Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Anyone know how's the V.2 FlexiDisplay looks like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceCowboy Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Awesome. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the responses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CF18 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Turns out the Bandai Action Base 1 for 1/100 Gundam works quite well for the VF-1 1/60 v2: http://www.toysdaily.com/discuz/thread-74293-1-1.html The hand like clip from the Bandai stand match the metal bar, but the VF-1S head need to lower a little. To use Yamato's attachments you will need to modify the Bandai stand. Personally I would not use those stands for heavier VFs since they are really light weight.

m0n5t3r Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 you can use the "U" attachment and slot the gunpod into it, no need to remove the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
