How do you keep your minis from falling over?

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.

How do you keep your minis from falling over?

Postby RogueSolo » Mon Aug 31, 2015 12:15 pm

This subject has popped up now and again, but always in different places; I'm hoping to centralize it here a little better.

From time to time I'll accidentally knock a figure over, usually sending a cascade of others tumbling as well.

Some funatics have mentioned they use certain types of putty to keep them from falling - please post up!

What type?
How much?

Thanks for sharing!

I use Museum/Earthquake putty on my Minis as well as my Pops. It works really well, though when it's really hot/humid a few of the minis (like Marshmallow) occasionally still tip over. :D

Do you just stick a little dot under one foot?

For the smaller ones like BBT I just use a little dot right in the center of their feet since they're together, for bigger guys like Marshmallow and Gantu I put a little bit under each foot. :D

I usually use a dime when a mini or pop won't stand up.
