Great idea! Definitely will be stealing this UPDATE: So after work today I went and got the materials you used in this video to make some stands myself. Bro, they work perfect. And are very cost effective. Thanks so much for making this video

Neca sending you texts during recording to yell at you for outdoing their stands with wire :P

I came from the instruction, stayed for the accent👍🏽🙏🏽❤️👌🏾

Thanks for video. i have some 1st gen MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE action figures that i had as kids. Now i can share them with my son and display them

Thanks for the tip on bending the tip of the stand to stick up the figures ab crunch. It works for metal hanger stands as well.

I showed this video to my girlfriend and I told her "Looking at him makes me wanna hug him." and she answered "Me too!" lmao

Wow, great video! You seem a very genuine and cool individual. I'm happy I got to see this video. 👍

Greg was using a wire to hold himself up while filming this video.

I love that idea Greg. Man I've got to start building a bunch of those for my Star Wars Black Series figures. Man the ideas in that head of yours are just amazing. Thanks for the help with this my friend. Take Care.

Thanks man, the wire works really good with all my spiderverse characters.

Greg,really love the creative and cost effective DIY figure stands you showed, thanks for the ideas for stands because the stands neca or other figure/toy companies have can be very expensive!!? So thanks so much for DIY figure stands, sincerely take care, Greg👍❤️🤔🤯🎨

Wire is one of my favorite things in my toolbox for appalachia engineering projects. Good job.

You are a very likable cat. Years ago I collected transformers but eventually I sold them out of worry of "you need to grow out of this stuff", but years passed and I hadn't stopped watching unboxing and customs etc, and I got the urge again.. Being 37, I am and always will be a comic book fanatic, and I figured why am I depriving myself of a hobby I enjoy, so I'm collecting Marvel legends, Spawn and DC figures. And you being a cat that seems either around my age or older inspires me to not give up my hobby, (as long as my Bill's are paid, wife and daughter taken care of of course ;) )

My dad taught me this too. I guess it takes a certain sorta guy to come up with money savers like this.

@Gregcook my son uses your wire idea, but wraps the wire with green painters tape so that his picture editor can more easily spot it and erase that part so you just see the fig being posed! pretty cool for a teenager to come up with huh.

Really cool idea Greg!

You should have called the video voilà. Great info man! 🔥

I think since I have cheap plastic shelves i could also screw the base down as well. This is a great idea because it has so much potential for modifications.

If you make a bigger loop for your base, those bigger figures will be more stable. Maybe use a can about twice the size. Just a hint to help.

Nice Video Greg! I recently got into collecting Marvel Legends, I have 8 so far I got all of them on Clearance and I was looking for a way to make stands for them thanks for the tutorial!

this guy is by far my favorite toy person out of all ive seen.. really cool guy.. this man genuinely loves toys.. and people

Brother thanks for the tip!! I’m using this for some Transformers figures and this is a great idea!! Thumbs up and great video!!

“Walla”! Awesome.

You just save me a boatload of money bro, thanks!!!

Thank you so much you are a total legend thanks for helping me

Cheers for the sweet as ideas my bro..keep them coming 😎👌

Absolutely great video thank you man, gonna head up to the hardware store tomorrow to snag some wire and start bending!

Sir you sound like you're from the south. Great video. In north alabama here where we have to use this kind of ingenuity because of no big name toy stores anymore. Great job.

This video helped so much I was very hesitate on making these stands for a while because I figured it would just be easier to buy some and there weren't any good videos on how to make them, but this video was so easy to understand that I was able to make some and really elevate my displays. Cant thank you enough for the tutorial.

This is awesome! I love DIY projects, especially the kind on a budget. Awesome job!! 👌

Like ultron says he's made of wires and machine parts. Thus guy just making him have more wires. Lol love it

Oh!......and alligator clips 😜🤘🤘🤘🤘!!!!

....would spray paint it the color of figure to hide wire a bit...

Just found this video, Greg, very good idea. I’m thinking of using this idea to make more shorts.

Youre a legend Greg

Thank you will be making an abundance of stands for my Gundams and Action figures

I just discovered your channel. Very informative! I actually used wire hangers to make the very same stands. But I never thought about adding the alligator clips on the tip. Opens up a whole new way for me to pose and stand my figs! Thank you, sir!

This is great! I need to display Spidermen and flying figures but those plastic stands are expensive! Gotta get to Lowes or Home Depot!

Boom! Awesome tutorial

Awesome!

Bam saved me a ton of money thanks brother!!

Aw man, I'ma get myself over to Lowe's. It's about to get wild in my figure displays lol. Thanks, Greg!

for flat bases for non flying or jumping seens i use crafters clay to make bases and the peg i barely push the figures foot into the clay to get a with and then i bake it at 275 degrees for 20 minutes and when its done i let it cool then i find out the depth of the figures foot hole adn shave the hard cooked clay peg to lentgh and paint it dry then i have my own custom bases works great i also use wire for flying scenes like good logan with hisclaws in dp

Greg, thank you for these awesome hacks.

You rock Greg

Ahhhh, alligator clips! I vave been using the wire solo and it's been a chore to balance, nowI see what I'm missing!
