Mystery Mini Won't Stand

Great things come in mysterious miniature or pint sized packages, but which great thing will it be? It's all a mystery until you open one. Then the fun begins.

Mystery Mini Won't Stand

Postby butwevegotheart » Mon Aug 01, 2016 11:05 pm

So, I got into collecting minis a few months ago, and I've built up a decent collection, so I'd like to put them on a tiered display. I mention displaying them because after months of buying tons and trying to get her, I finally got Carol from The Walking Dead Series 3 set, but she won't stand up at all. :( Her back is slightly hunched, and her head tilts pretty far forward. I know some of the tricks of propping up, or fixing, Pops that won't stand, but I don't think they'll work on a MM that's going to be standing on a tiered display. So, I'm obviously wondering what I should do to get her to stand without damaging her, since it took me so long to get her.

You can try museum putty on her feet.

I don't know if you are flexible with your display, but I got a nail polish rack to hold things in and there's a small lip to the shelf, which helps keep minis upright. I can send you a link if you are interested. The only thing is, it will only hold minis then.

Little felt pads, sold at Target, Home Depot, etc. sticky enough to stay but not damage. I've used them on a few of mystery mini figures with great success.

Thanks, everyone for the suggestions! I'll definitely give a few of them a try :)
