    Not sure you'd find one with a clamp big enough to go around his waist are. Might try a kaiser doll stand. Worst case scenario get those smaller kaiser stands and use one for each leg maybe?

    I was thinking you could rig up something that can grapple onto or otherwise engage that bar on the rear of his waist just to give him a little stability. I wouldn’t try to support his entire weight with that bar, of course, but give him just enough stability to not topple over.

    I use a cheap flightstand

    The tips of the claw fit super tight in the spaces at each end of the bar. It may not look like it but it's incredibly stable and secure. You have to use some force to remove it. He's never fallen.
    He's also leaning back slightly.

    Still no luck with my local Targets in finding a Krang, at least @Bryan Thornton helped me out with a Splinter set (whenever USPS decides to deliver it to me) maybe I’ll just hope I get lucky when the site puts up the listing.

    Looks like NECA will be shipping my Metalhead next month, after that just a couple more figures and I’m done with this line. Thanks to all the TFW members that help me put this collection together.

    I just worked out a deal for the one I had but I'll be in the area of the Target where I found the first one and see if there's anymore on the shelf later today

    The Revoltech group were the first Revoltech figures I ever bought and they are great... save Michaelangelo's nunchucks. They needed a post for better hand holding.

    be careful with that bar i snapped mine right out the box, though it glues back in just fine

    yeah that's the most agg'd and my biggest complaint, he can't hold them for crap and if you put the spinning one in there it just kinda angles in his hand awkwardly

    Which is exactly how mine was posed before storage, left hand holding a set slung over his shoulder, right hand causally "twirling" the disc.

    I really wish I had picked up the Shellraiser when it was at discount at the death of the line. Such a great name, Shellraiser.

    They certainly seemed to be of a common height to the Playmates figures of the time.

    Sooooo... maybe? I never investigated far enough to know. Certainly should be able to display it behind the team as a lazy background filler.

    I just found this guy at the Rancho Cordova Target. According to their inventory system, it was the only one on hand.

    Finally got my shipping notice for T&R. It’s going to be here on Saturday. Praying for no qc issues.

    Well, I hate to throw this out there, but has anybody who won @Cheetimus Prime 's lotto heard anything from him recently?

    Last contact I had with him, we had agreed to have him wait until after the holiday crush to mail out Krang. A reply regarding tracking info on the 21st, and an update on the 28th, and nothing since.

    Now I'm wondering if I should start looking for a back-up; decided to make a Target run last night just in case -- some minor BttF restock and nothing else. Even the action figure aisles were bare.
