Battle Gear stands

I'm struggling to find stands that are a good fit for the series 3 figures, other than those that come in the series 2 Battle Gears. Does anyone have any of the BAttle Gear stands for sale or trade, or any suggestions as to stands for the jointed figs?
I have a load of stands for the Series 1 & 2's, and Star Wars from the Ebay store as recommended by Baron, and they are a lovely fit, but nothing so far for Cobra era.

Steve, the guy at toyhob is really good.
I've bought hundreds of stands off him and he's given me a fair few free as well.
These stands are indentical to the battle gear weapons packs:

I use these for my regular AF figs, even though they stretch the heel a little as they are actually too big.
The guy has just started selling 'Joe Stands' which are identical to the ones above but the foot pin is 3 and 1/2 mm's instead of the usual 3mm and therefore fits the jointed figures perfectly.
He hasn't got any for sale yet on ebay but if you message him, I'm sure he'll sell you some. I had a bag of 20 off him the other week.

Thanks Paul - I've emailed him. I got loads off Ebay the other week for the Pallitoy stuff (the Baron's recommendation - they fit beautifully), and even some for the Star Wars vintage stuff (once I get my smaller cabinet for those, which may be a while), but the S3's keep tumbling!

That was a perennial prob back in 83-86. And when the fig tips over backwards ... titanium pins anyone? Still got some
's with fugged feet.

sent me the wrong things wouldnt replace it basically said tough luck we could give a sh*t , banned me from thier site when I went public, called me a liar publically , I posted thier e-mails and the invoice to show they were lying, they then said they had some e-mails that they threatened to post and I called them out and said GO AHEAD and they never did of course.
I wont deal with them ever again and just warn people. A lot of people have had good experiences with them, but I just havent
I recommend GI JOE HEAVEN whos a new member here by the way!
