ChaoticYeti Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) 1/24/2015: I now offer these stands through my webstore at www.yetistand.com Hello all,Hopefully I have not overstayed my welcome, and mods bump this post someplace else if need be. I am posting in the Toys section because YetiStand is about 90% ready to be sold. I have some tolerance issues to look into, but this thing is looking good! Please watch my rambling video and let me know what you think. Edited January 25, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote
OzmaLee74 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Want! The video's not working though bro. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted August 4, 2014 Author Posted August 4, 2014 Want! The video's not working though bro. YouTube is still processing. Should be good shortly. Quote
aceoftherebellion Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 That looks amazing, what do you think your price point going to be? Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted August 4, 2014 Author Posted August 4, 2014 That looks amazing, what do you think your price point going to be? I am going to take what I have and look at some local places. Perhaps I can get the price down. I don't want to scare anyone away yet. Quote
chyll2 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) waiting for the video. come one youtube, encode faster! edit: This video has been removed because it is too long. Edited August 4, 2014 by chyll2 Quote
Saburo Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Nooooo... Youtube is saying video removed because it was too long? Edited August 4, 2014 by Saburo Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted August 4, 2014 Author Posted August 4, 2014 Nooooo... Youtube is saying video removed because it was too long? I will not be denied! Uploading new version. Sorry for the delay. Quote
Sildani Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Looking forward to new, shortened version! Edited August 4, 2014 by Sildani Quote
happy_spike Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 That is awesome! I will be looking out for price. that looks like the best stand I've seen. Great work.What's its stable weight limit? (roughly, I know that the position/angle makes a hug difference) Quote

(roughly, I know that the position/angle makes a hug difference) No issue with any of my Macross stuff so far. Lego X-Wing 9493, and Lego Y-Wing 9495 fit on the printed stand without a problem. They are pretty sizable. I would imagine the solid acrylic stand will hold much more. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted August 4, 2014 Author Posted August 4, 2014 Video is up and processing again. Quote
technoblue Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Woah. Your alpha (prototype?) stand looks fantastic, ChaoticYeti! Will it come in clear plastic or will there be a choice of colors like for projects available on Shapeways? Also, how easy is it to assemble and adjust? And I apologize if my questions are answered in the video. I'm still waiting on youtube to view it. Quote

Benson13 Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 Yeti, I wholeheartedly applaud your work. There is finally purpose to all those useless stand adapters that have come with our valks. Not to mention all the flavor you're adding to our displays because of the dynamic poses that we can now pull off. I'm looking forward to seeing all the crazy poses everyone is going to come up with.

happy_spike Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Do you want to send me one? Haha! My wife would kill me... Quote

Saburo Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 CY: I know you had mentioned before how you were going to make the Yetistand universal for other types of figures you can display with it. Do you have adapters to display with other figs/models other than Macross Bandai/Yamato? Quote
Mommar Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Good God, those clear stands are sexy!!!! I'll take twenty! Quote

Do you have adapters to display with other figs/models other than Macross Bandai/Yamato?I sure do. I have a 6" figure adapter, and an adapter that works with popular brick building toys like Lego, megablock, etc. And I am working on one for 1/72 diecast planes, but there doesn't seem to be a standard way of mounting them.The stand is universal. I could model adapters for an eternity. Edited August 5, 2014 by ChaoticYeti Quote
ShindeiNoUta Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Looks Fantastic, I would definately be interested in getting a few! Edited August 5, 2014 by ShindeiNoUta Quote

Watching your video on the big screen, and another interested individual watches.... Edited August 5, 2014 by Saburo Quote

Saburo Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Hilarious. I approve and Alto approves. He'll will report back to the rest of the squadron, and then send the requisition paperwork to get the stands ordered when they are ready. I really like your simple but creative way to display Ghosts into the base. Edited August 5, 2014 by Saburo Quote
anime52k8 Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 God that's sexy... borderline pornographic... Quote
happy_spike Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 God that's sexy... borderline pornographic... Especially the way he strips the tape off... Quote
Sildani Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Nice, very nice!! It's all I was hoping for, you just need to figure out the tolerances and job's a good 'un. And I have to say, it'll be nice to give the Japanese Macross collectors something to be envious about for once!! Quote
aceoftherebellion Posted August 5, 2014 Posted August 5, 2014 Maaaan, now that the video and more images are up I'm even more excited about this. These are definitely in the 'do want' category Quote
