I'll have to see about grabbing a few once I get some Detolfs to fill. I got 8 of those stands for $27 from an eBay "Buy It Now" listing. (technically, the price was for 6, but the seller threw in 2 more for free.) I am also using these stands to hold up the YF-21 and VF-11B. Overall. I am pretty happy with that purchase.

seti88 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Just be aware that over long periods (like months?), those stands may leave marks on the contact points between the stand and the valk. Even some flight pose with rubber nibs were reported to have left marks, altho some say those were from a certain batch.

Chronocidal Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) I think the only way to not leave any marks on contact points is if you leave valks on the landing gear*. Contact with any surface for long enough will leave some kind of mark, either on the valk, or the place it's sitting. * Technically even the gear will be marked if you leave them in one place long enough, but wear and tear on rubber wheels is easy to hide by retracting the gear. I've never been overly concerned with laying my valks on hard and flat surfaces for extended periods, as long as things like fins and probes aren't getting stressed.. It's the padded soft ones that give me pause, because of the potential for the material to break down, and leave a smear of molten rubbery mess on your valk, your furniture, or both. Honestly, I've given a decent amount of thought to finding obscure places to drill mounting points in some of my valks, so I can just set them onto a metal post, and not worry about them getting visibly damaged.

If you don't want any wear and tear and smudges, display it kinda like Shizuka did in Fighter mode but this time with the feet opened. No marks. No wear and tear on the wheels. Though you can't do that setup with YF/VF-21/22. On 9/28/2018 at 12:35 PM, Shizuka the Cat said: Just staring at the valkyries I keep at my office at school....

No marks. No wear and tear on the wheels. Though you can't do that setup with YF/VF-21/22. Heheh.. honestly, I've always done that. Easiest and best space-saving way to pose a wide variety of valks. Some like the Sv-51, VF-27 and VF-17/171 take a little bit of twisting of the feet to get them aligned in a way that'll work, and they're not always entirely stable that way, but it's a huge space saver. I've even seen someone pull off a YF-21 pose that way by spreading the engine thrust vector petals, but I wouldn't ever want to leave it that way for more than a minute or two. The other bugaboo is the YF-29. The tails and shield are just too long, and the ankles don't extend far enough to really balance it well. I think the YF-30 might have this issue too, actually, since the tails stick out so far in back. Now that I think about it though, I wonder if you could extend the YF-21's feet out the back far enough, and twist them around enough for it to stand on them... The down side of displaying the Arcadia or Bandai YF-19s that way though is that gravity works against the high speed mode wing hinges. Let them sit too long, and they might start to sag, especially with weapons attached. The wings are also slightly too long to display that way folded back, since they stick out too far.
