Hey you guys,
Does anyone know where I can find replacement figure stands with the pegs, similar to a few of the DC Action League Figures??
Or have you guys made your own??
Any inputs would be awesome!!
Thanks, Long.

I would be very interested to know too. Hopefully, some of these custom expects can point us in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any help you guys could give us.

What I found that works really good with most of the figures (some have smaller holes in their feet) but I use G.I. Joe stands (the black ones from the 3.75" figures... Haven't tried the marvel universe or star wars figure stands yet, but they might work as well. You can get bulk lots of G.I. Joe stands for relatively cheap from China on eBay....

Not a problem. Glad I could be of assistance... Was in the same boat as you not that long ago, so got them to find out and was glad to find out they work.

I personally have the black ones, but those look the exact same.

I personally have the black ones, but those look the exact same. Could you do me a big favor and try and stick an Action League figure on one or send me a measurement of the diameter of the peg? I messaged the seller and asked for a measurement but who knows when or if they'll get back to me. Thanks

If you look in my customs thread, my major force custom has running flash legs and that is a black GI Joe stand....

I purchased some of these...seems to work good for the DC Action League figures, but not so much for the SHS figures...the SHS has smaller holes in their feet it seems

If you have a dremel, you could use it to sand around the pegs to make them smaller. I wouldn't try it with just sandpaper. Or you could drill the holes bigger in the SHS figures. I do enough custom work on my son's figures, i'd probably just do that.

Just a thought, but think through making the figure hold larger as that would mean the pgs on the playlets or vehicles would be too small.

I've used the clear circular JLU figure stands before (I've got enough of them lying around from all the JLU figures I've bought over the years!). Specifically Domino needed one since she got so front heavy with her guns. The peg was a little small for the hole, but since she didn't need a TON of support it worked out okay. If I was really concerned, though, I would have filled the hole with sculpting material and used the peg to create a new hole.
