Anybody else having problems with them standing on their bases ? it seems you got to get them just right or they take a header.... Maybe it's just mine...

I've noticed that too. On my figures, it sort of helped to trim the peg slightly so that the boot goes all the way down on the peg. Still, they're not the most stable figures on the stands...
Yup.

Yea mine falling too. But seems to be just the stand is a little soft. Not like the Dragon 1/18 figs where the whole thing can be kind of droopy...

Must be lucky the two i bought are still standing tall. But when i set them up more permanent i use Museum Wax just a little dab under each foot and they stay put even if the shelf gets bumped .Plus it is clear so you dont see it. cheaper idea is tacky stuff like clay but that you can see.

I use a small dab of rubber cement on the stand of my figures. It holds them fairly well and it's removable.

I just nail a foot to the shelf - they don't come loose EVER

Mine haven't fallen down yet, but I did crazy glue on the German bread bag, gas mask and canteen pieces. Only on the Germans I wanted with those on of course.

Mine stays up just fine

Maybe you just need to stick the peg deeper into the hole

My FOV figures stood well on their stands for about two days before falling over. This can be easily fixed by using clear star wars figure stands, which can be purchased at Entertainment Earth. The stands come with two pegs and the FOV figures fit very well on them. The posing is better and the figures have a much sturdier stance. I Highly advise getting these.

The FOV's seem to be made more of a 'rubbery' kind of plastic as well as the stands. You can bend the peg back and forth. I can pose the FOV's in a standing position and they're okay. But put them in a walking or running position-and unless you get it just right-they may not fall over-otherwise just stare at 'em...and they fall over.
21C stands are MUCH better.
Thanks for the info, Obi2Kenobi, I'll have to try those from EE.
