How did you get the stand to

How did you get the stand to stay up? I have had little luck with mine on heavy figures (like the Robot Spirit Geara Zulu).

The stand is the Tamashii

The stand is the Tamashii Stage Act 5 for mechanics. It's thicker than the stick variant used for the humanoid figures and has a ratcheting joint at the base. The fact that newer figures also come with an adapter clip for it also helps.

Did you try to tighten the screws on the stand joints?

Yeah. Mine is the Act 5 as

Yeah. Mine is the Act 5 as well. I tried tightening the joints as well but did not have one to tighten the ratchet screw on the bottom as after tightening the top screws it became the one that wanted to be less stable.

I will keep fidgeting with them. Thanks for the response!

strong review

great robot from a great super robot show that is right up there with gurren lagaan and getter robo: armaggedon and gunbuster (though yes, as josh said in the cdx show, targeted more for kids), but should we really have to accept a toy that does not transform & combine when the core element of the show is this feature?

Great robot! Great review. I

Great robot! Great review. I may be branded a heretic, but I think I actually prefer the SRC GGG over the SOC. He just feels more solid and playable. More believable. (plus he doesn't take up more square footage than the dog in my office).

And yeah I don't know how you are managing to get this guy airborne? Maybe for a photograph, but I can't see safely displaying him unless his feet are solidly on the ground.
