will you behave, or i'll bang your heads together!
scarlet/quarrel (i say it in that order as scarlet was the original, quarrel just a repaint) have small feet with heals, no room for holes.

Excellent work squad leader! Looks like you've got it sorted! I'd been trying variations of an upside down capital E! Now you've got it sorted I don't need to try any more!!! Good going mate!!

So are you going to go into prodution with this idea S'Leader?l, it looks to be a winner, also how about moulding some for the larger Joe style pegs as well as the thinner :AFLogo: figures?
Tshot i have the stands for the articulated Action Force & G.I. Joe stands here http://www.vintagestarwarscollectables. ... tands.html

Does it work for Joes as well, Squad Leader? Scarlett / Quarrel has no foot pegs at all and other Joe figures have flippers.

Maybe a universal design is something else to bear in mind.
ok Baron you marked for 30 ;-)

i guess it could work for Scarlett or Quarrel but haven't tried it, i'll dig out my Quarrel figure tomorrow and see if it works.

the part will only attach to the stands for the original Action Force Figures and will be available seperately but like i say i will try the Quarrel figure tomorrow and if it works then that's one less thing to worry about

Reminds me of the Soviet vs US space race. Both were looking for a solution to the problem of writing in space in the 60's, NASA spent millions designing a pen that could be used without gravity, the space pen I think its called. The Russians used a pencil. ;-)

Na, I'm quite happy to throw in the towel on this one mate!

I'm confident the upside down "E" design would have worked, but i'd have then had to buy some totally clear plastic for casting, and it was going to mean me trampling onto your toes as the stands supplier, and would have needed your stands anyway, so I am totally happy to quit trying now you have it seemingly sorted out. (and am actually quite relieved, as it was turning into a bit of a headache!). I shall refocus my efforts onto how on earth I'm going to do some of the 20 or so other things I've got floating around my head or scribbled on the back of beer mats somewhere now! Including what has now become codenamed the "Tits and Trifle Project"!
