    I've finally able to have room to display my TF collection. However I am trouble getting MP Megatron to stand without falling ( no surprise ) everytime my kids run around the house. Are there any doll stand you guys recommend to for MP Megatron?

    THanks!

    Firstly abandon the fusion cannon that comes with him and replace it with a G1 version if you have one.

    Then stick a couple of small dabs of blu tack under his feet and then plant him where you want him. Raise the top of his foot against the bottom of his shin acting like a prop. I found his feet sliding was an issue in getting him to stand straight.

    This will then give you a lot more flexibility in posing and allow you to get that pesky waist clip in place nicely.

    Pics of mine posed as above in collection thread link in sig.

    HTH! :thumbs2:

    Funny, I don't have any trouble getting mine to stand up.

    In fact, mine'll stay up fine even if I pose him holding his fusion cannon up!

    The only problem I had was with the feet slipping - I got around that by putting him on an old non-slip mouse mat I had lying around. Rather than being covered in the more traditional stretchy fabric or vinyl, they're bare rubber so they have a lot of grip :)

    never had a problem since i got the upgrade kit. the diecast makes him more stable, and the tops of the feet against his leg help support him, on glass, never tried
