I always saw the stands as an added bonus to the figs since we didn't get them with RA figs ect, so i dont mind them stopping if it means the Basic detail's stay the same.

I have come up with a way to solve this.
On the Mattel website they post an official printout of all newcomers nametags. That will cost them nothing.
I was able to work out the exact font used by Mattel but never got the size bang on.

It's not like they're giving us a bunch of half assed dollar store figures, or using extremely incorrect parts. Like I've said, it sucks - but it's not the end of the world. Why are some of you overreacting like this? Sure, the tag and plastic may not cost much per figure, but these ARE mass retail figures, I'm sure the cost does add up.

"This isnt a big deal"
What kind of atitude is that. Kepp that up and they will take more.
THIS IS A LOAD OF crap!!!
Especially if they take them off Elites and Legends.
In the UK we pay 1/3 to 1/2 the price extra and there's know 50%off sales here. I expect them to be worth it!
Im an adult collector and have my collection nicley arragned on stands and expect the rest to be this way.
Bullcrap!

I'm really upset about this. Part of the whole presentation to me was the stands. It made them look so much better on display. Honestly, while I still plan to collect select Legends and Elites, I think Basics just lost all appeal with me now. I was 100% fine with no accessories at the $10 price, but no stands, either? Count me out.

IMHO those things were for sure a nice plus to display figs, but for me completely useless...so i don't care if they don't add them anymore to the figs

I don't really mind it.
Now I won't have a problem displaying my PPV basics with my regular basics.

this is really disappointing news, I use all my stands and name plates for display, I hope this doesn't happen for the Elites and Legends, I think we pay enough for those that they should come with stands, regardless the basics will look weird without them, so i guess now i have to take them all away... yay...

My Matt Hardy figure has no stand and looks completely out of place.. I liked the stands, they were cool. But I guess costs etc?

This would be a good time to stick your stands on Ebay.

Well, I do really like the stands...but I was going to have to ditch them anyway as space is becoming an issue.
Like many others here, I would take figure detail over stands anyway.
