Mystery Minis Leg Fix?
The issue is I have about seven mystery minis with one leg shorter than the other making it difficult to stand them up... I found using a small folded up piece of paper as a wedge helps but i wondering if you guys know of any other solutions.

I know sticky tack is a favorite around here, might help to stick that under the short foot.
I was thinking about trying a dab of hot-glue under the shorter foot to make up the difference, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I had been considering sticky tack myself. However, I seem to remember it leaving a kind of grease spot or discoloration on posters and paper. Can anyone who uses sticky tack with their minis comment on whether that affects them or not? It would be much appreciated.

The reviews say it doesn't leave oil or greasy marks behind... Plus its cheap!

I haven't had any problems with sticky tack! I used it to make my Adventure Time minis stay on top of their tins and it worked perfectly.

Re: Mystery Minis Leg Fix?
I had similar issues with a "suicidal" Rick (several times a day I would find that he toppled from the shelf, uncaring that I had made a tiny wedge of cardboard for his foot... In a rage he would take out Carl and a zombie when he fell, just to show his displeasure at the indignity that I had caused him). This sent me on a similar search as yours, but I was hesitant to use sticky tack because I remember it leaving grease spots on my posters back in the day. What I have settled on is Quake Hold Museum Putty in neutral color. It's been working perfectly, but as a cautionary note, the included instructions warn that it too can leave an oily mark which may be removable with lighter fluid, trichloroethane, dry cleaning fluid, or Goo-Gone. Good luck!
I'm Lyn. I know, confusing because I'm also Noctu. In real life I have a whole face too. Your mind blown yet? If not, keep talking... It's bound to splatter. XD

I got Loctite sticky-tak and it's working out great! No grease or oily marks! I used about two little squares for about six figures.

I use the same thing. Works great. Pennywise still takes a dive every once in awhile, but I think his is a weight problem.
