Chronotrigger Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 My minimates keep falling over. I have a bunch of them in one of my shelves on the Ikea detolf, and everytime I open it the vibrations tend to knock one over. And sometimes it's a disaster because it's like dominos. One goes and all of them goes. How do you guys display yours? Are there mini stands that are available that will fit them? Anyone try legos for stands or acessories? I've thought about it but, not sure which pieces if any will fit the original feet or the c3 feet. Quote
TBT! Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Hey CT. The Lotr Minimates actually came with little 'C3'(cough lego) blocks that are great for those unstable minimates. I totally know the domino effect the little blighters have if you just have them loose on a shelf, I've heard various methods or keeping em upright including Bluetack, and legostands for the C3 feet. I actually display mine in cases that keep them all seperated, the cases are actually 1/64 toy car cases turned sideways and wall mounted, it's great way to get 2-300 minimates displayed but not cluttering up the place.

T. Nice idea with the car display cases. I think minimate stands can be a very good side product that art asylum should release. A simple round base with an X for X-Men or an A for Avengers, with a peg for the c3 feet or an indentation for the old feet would work great. Quote
She-Thing Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Welcome Chronotrigger, I use lego, blue tack, and the ML displays... ML Storm's 'tornado of clouds' for example is perfect for any miniStorm. And the 'X' discs from the ML X-Men pack is perfect for X-Men displays. Hope this helps Quote
Zombieboyfiend Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 I'll see if I can find them again but I believe someone was selling stands for minimates. Quote
maxcarnage Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 I just stood mine up on a shelf, and hoped they would not fall over. If they did then I would set them up again, and again. I suggest sticky-tacky, that is what I use on some of my other action figures. I would use it on minimates but I take them down and play with them all the time that it is not worth it. Right now we are about to move so they are in a shoebox. Which is very convenient, but I takes forever to find anyone and forget it if they are missing a hand or foot. I think there is a thread on how other display there mates. Quote
AdyCarter Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 I use these things, they were designed to hold some little football figures, sadly not available anymore. All the mates are just blu-takked into place. Prior to these stands I used two pack boxes to achieve the same effect. Quote
rx78jj Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 LOL. I just stick mine in little plastic bags and stick them in a Rubber Maid Box. LOL Quote
drgnrbrn316 Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Wow, all you guys are so fancy with your displays. I just have mine lined up on a couple wooden shelves. I find a nailgun helps hold the guys up if you shoot them at a downward angle through the torso. Quote
drgnrbrn316 Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 ^So you torture them? They don't seem to mind. They're all still smiling, for the most part. And the best part, if you look at them from across the room, you can't really notice the nail! Quote
TBT! Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 IS collosus dry humping that Sentinels leg in the picture on the left? T. Quote
Amazing.JL Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Who would have thought collossus was freaky! Quote
Deadpool Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Who would have thought collossus was freaky! Ultimate is. And nice Iron Lantern there Ady! Quote
drgnrbrn316 Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Who would have thought collossus was freaky! Ultimate is. And nice Iron Lantern there Ady! Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. As for Iron Lantern, is that based on an actual comic event? I know they did the whole Amalgam thing once or twice, but I didn't know if that took place there. And to ease some high blood pressure, I don't really nail my minimates to pieces of wood. The screw gun works much better. Quote
AdyCarter Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Aye its an Amalgam character, thats one of Jcasticks customs Quote
Chronotrigger Posted November 13, 2006 Author Posted November 13, 2006 Thanks for the welcomes. The easiest thing I have access to is the tacky stuff. Does it ruin the plastic? Quote
