I knew you'd know, Matt... thanking you!
There are other sources for those stands (just search on "Protech action figure stands" or similar), but that link is one that many of us have used (I think Bazzack posted it initially) and deemed good, particularly for bulk purchases. The cost of international shipping obviously impacts on the gross cost more when ordering only small numbers of stands, so maybe look around if you only want a few.

Hey Harvey, I've got a few spare you're more than welcome to. The only catch is that I won't be able to send them off until I get back to NZ at the beginning of next month. Someone else might be able to help you a little sooner - but if not, they're all yours!

There's definitely no rush, so yes, that would be awesome!

Thank you, good sir!

Awesome, will PM you when I get back.

Also, if shipping on those repro parts proves prohibitive, feel free to get them sent to my US address and I can bring 'em back for you :)

The more low-key, the better...
A small blob of Blu-tac / double-sided sellotape under each foot - can't get much more "low-key" than that. ;)

When I had my collection on the shelves (YEARS ago now when it was just the original Kenner stuff) I just had the figures and vehicles all standing by themselves. No real problems, although a couple were a bit wobbly and since the shevles were on the other side of the wall shared by entrance hall, whenever some fool or the wind slammed the front door, there would be a bit of a domino-toppling effect.

Clear Stand > Blu-Tack

Gotta agree with you there (though of course I'm partial). They add a nice finishing touch to any display.

You could always use a blob of superglue instead ;)

Even the clear stands are still visible, whereas a small, thin strip of Blu-tac / sellotape remains hidden by the feet. It depends on what you're trying to do and your own preference of course (as well as how heavy and wobbly the figure itself is). In a diorama-type setting, for example, all those clear stands disrupt the objective.
