Anyone tried these yet?

[Dave]

Haven't tried those. 

I use the Marauder stands that someone here suggested.  I like them.

Similar concept of interlocking bases if you want to arrange troops.  I just use them for displaying regular figures to ensure they stay standing for years without toppling (I also write the UPC number on a sticker on the bottom in case I want to cross-reference my database to know where a specific figure comes from).

The sad reality is that every single TVC figure has a different depth figure peg hole, and they're generally very shallow.  I generally need to use a Dremel motor tool to customize each peg to its figure.

I'd be interested in understanding if these work any better or if its a similar challenge where you've got to tweak the peg to match the foot.

The older figure lines were much better at having standard sized foot peg holes.  TVC is a hot mess.

I've tried clipping/sanding down pegs on stands for far too long, which is why I'm intrigued by these.  According to the BanthaSkull review, it sounds like the pegs work really well with the shallow-hole on a lot of the newer TVC figures. 

These were designed by former (I say former as I don't think Anthony has logged in here in years) JD member Darth Anton as a solution for his massive Imperial Army collection.

I kind of prefer the clear stands to help light flow through the shelves better, but I think I'm going to try them out to have for some of those pesky figures that need a much shorter peg.

Let us know how they work.  They're close enough to Marauder stands that switching wouldn't be a challenge for me.

I saw them in Anthony's video too and would be curious to try them out. But even as someone with a decent-sized army myself, I don't tend to use a lot of figure stands. I don't care for the way they limit the display options. While those seem reasonably priced, the cost of these definitely adds up when buying in bulk, too. They are a really nice design but I will probably wait to buy any on a large scale unless I have a specific plan for them.

We mostly have the rocker-ankles to thank for that. It seems to drastically limit the amount of negative space in the feet to put a peg hole.
