So, the 'anal port' puzzle is resolved (maybe I am a little disappointed). Here in Singapore, TRU are giving away a stand if you spend S$30 or more. It looks very familiar!
Why doesn't hasbro do these free with purchase giveaways? Has it ever been explained by Hasbro? im probably overlooking something.
I found it interesting because these are TF4 branded - that's an AoE black sticker on the base of the stand, which means it was designed into the range by Hasbro specifically.
Indeed. Bandai/Tamashii Nations certainly haven’t invented clear figure stands, but this resembles their figure stands a lot.
With some stands you can take the claw of and use this to peg the arm directly into the figure. It is used for running, jumping and sometimes flying poses, depends on the figure and the stand that comes with it. The claw itself is just to hold the figure while standing normally, most of the time.
The Goatse Ports explained! Well done CyberShadow, the Sherlock of Singapore! Somebody get that man a news credit! Would be interested to see one of these stands in use...I wonder if BBTS etc. will ever carry them?
Yes, please! I'll have to start looking at stands next time I make an online order. Anyone know offhand if Hasbro Toy Shop has stands?
Ha ha cool, I've been using the Bandai Stage Act 5 (for mechanics) for my AOE stuff & they worked really well with TFs. So this piece of news is rather coincidental. Thanks Cybershadow for this info.
