    Seem like it can be done but have to be very careful. Thanks for the clarification.

    Finally transformed this guy.
    Standard planet ring vs new bigger planet rings.

    Figured out an easy stand solution. Just put some holes in a cylindrical, plastic vase.

    Very clever!
    If you made a second one out of a red translucent vase, you could maybe pose crony looking down, and then suspend a tiny megs, galvy and whoever else in the vase like in the movie. With Unicron's light on, it could light up in the dark, prolly look super tippy haha

    You guys are really tempting me to get the larger wings for planet mode alone... hmmmm.

    Doooo iiiiit!

    IMO they look better than the original wings in bot mode too.

    Okay fiiinee. That's what I'm hoping is that I get really surprised at how much better it could be in hand.
    Also, it's nice knowing I have wings that are less at risk of cracking.

    They are also far easier to transform. Not as tight of a fit trying to plug them into planet mode.

    I was thinking of making a stand like this for planet mode but could also double for bot mode. Maybe interchangeable arms/hooks(?). The cradle would conform better of course than what I sketched here.

    It would make it possible to place figures and such under him which is a cool idea. You would be increasing the space needed behind the display though, and it would need to be pretty strong with those sorts of angles in the stands.
    Having a stand for robot mode so he can easily be displayed flying/floating would be dope though either way.

    Metal would be ideal or better yet, acrylic. Wood is probably more realistic as far as my capabilities, then paint it black. Maybe make the hooks/cradle out of heavy gauge clothes hanger.

    I have an old dual monitor mount that could probably be repurposed for something like this...

    That's a shame. I spent the money I had allocated for a second Cell already...

    Group Buy update. Received the wing tips today and already started printing labels. Check your PayPal for tracking info today and tomorrow. If you can't see the tracking via PayPal just message me tomorrow and I will get it for you. I will probably be able to get out half today and the other half tomorrow. To those out of the country I will message you tomorrow with a shipping quote 20210409_110936.jpg
