Boo Hoo.
No offence everyone, but they are just stands. You can make them just the same yourself, they NEVER Helped my figures stand up. Also, whats the point in having one bit of plastic going into one boot, when the figures are made with a hole on each boot? For people like Jericho because of his old pose? Pfft. They were useless and I just put them wherever. I don´t care for them and I think it´s good that Mattel took them away.

Thats ur opinion.
I think Matt hardy can be put in the same class as Jim The Anvil Niedhart. Couldn't hang with out his partner to carry him. Hardy blew in singles competition. No charisma, no character. V1 was good but he was just like a glorified jobber. But that's just my opinion.

Whats Matt Hardy and Jim Neidhart got to do with this, and why couldn't this just go in the other thread regarding the stands? I don't think putting this in the Suggestion Box will get you any closer to getting stands with the figures.

Better they take the stands away if there cutting cost. I wouldn't want them cutting cost on the figures themselfs(new parts and scans > stands IMO)

As far as the stands go, I was never a huge fan of them, but they looked pretty cool. I won't miss them as such, but it is a bit of a shame for the guys who really liked them.

I'm in England and we have to pay 1/3 or 1/2 over the price's America does, the stands helped make them seem more worth it. They seem cheap when displayed without them. I collect Legends and at the price im paying I expect Stands Oh and the people happy that they have taken them away are fools. Why are you happy you get less for your money? And even if your not bothered about your fellow collectors? (selfish?)

See guys, this is why you don't complain about the E.G. Stands. You say that it will save money, and they take them away from Normal Figs!

The thing is not everyone is willing to pay a dollar or so more for them, when it comes to the stands i just put them in a box and display them with my jakks figures without the stands. Altho i do use the stands for my champions. But if they have indeed stopped and have no plans on bring back the stands i won't think twice about them.

Man, I need to find a way to make some stands myself and sell them at this rate. Could make a fortune.
Assuming I could find a source of free materials and tools, of course.

So - you think that if the prices jumped from $9.99 to $10.99, people would stop buying the figures? I personally don't think people care that much about a 1 dollar increase.

Not at all what I was trying to say. I mean is most people would be fine with what Matteo is doing and would want to spend more money for something that in some cases would just be thrown out with the packaging.

We should all protest outside Mattel HQ with our own, homemade, life-size, display stands and individual name tags!
Or not. It does suck they're going away, while crap paint jobs are here to stay, but that's just plain negative speak so BLAH.
