Hopefully FlightPose will restock soon. I need some flight stands.

@blackconvoy_D01 - Interesting. Can you please share your thoughts on if they work well with the Macross valks? TIA.

Sure, NP! Vid link too (convinced me to try for an Arcadia VF-1S);

I’m also interested in how Calibre Wings v2 stands hold up.

Their v1 stand wasn’t very good for dynamic banking poses. Because the triangle base footprint is quite small, the whole stand tips over easily if the weight on the arms goes slightly off centre, especially if you use the longer arm.

v2 supposedly fixes this with the base now being metal for better weight stability.

Thank you!

Just as a heads up; the stand was coming from China @ Calibre Wings and it's still being processed through customs.

Hello,

I just received my parcel from calibre wings, so a quick debrief on "router-style-display-stand-version-2-0".
For 20$ you receive :
 Nice box, heavy basement (150grams), 1 long, 3 medium and 2 short rods, no instructions.

I try it with some figures, please pardon bad quality pictures, it's late, no natural light.🙄

(1/72 vf-1s, 1/72 vf-11, 1/60 yf-29, 1/48 vf-1a, 1/60 yf-25)

My fellings are positive about this display stand. My valks are well held.😀

But you have to position you model taking care of gravity center, or stand will fall over.
note : I have broken one of the little rods by forcing while the screws were fully tightened, while trying to reposition it...😱

Its my first third party display stand, but i m convinced.😊

Anyway, these are the only ones available on the market at the moment. 😥

I would be happy to answer your questions if you have any !

[ValkAddict]

Thanks for the review @kelinda. How stable were the fighters on the stand? Especially when on an angle?

The weight of the new 2.0 base is reassuring.. their old 1.0 base was only 20g.

Looking at the pics, the stand is now able to at least take the same banking angles as the regular Flightpose. But the good thing about this Router stand are the additional arms of varying lengths that come with it. 

[kelinda]

Hello ,

You can do some nice angles ...

according to your sens of balance 😀

but valkyries are stable, if you use the right plastic end at the right place. ( they are all interchangeable )

Mines ended up getting returned to Calibre Wings. So I'm going with the Adapter and Bandai stand.

The stand alone; nothing to my knowledge. Calibre Wings messed up on my address. And because I work in another state; I couldn't get to the PO on time, so it was returned to sender.

[blackconvoy_D01]

In follow up; I ended up with the Bandai stand and shapeways adapter. I'll be fine.

mind post the link for the display adapter?

I'm trying to use the 1/60 universal display stand for perfect grade but no adapter that comes with it is compatible with the connection that comes with the toy.

The plate that holds the arms in place, is it a solid piece or is the underside hollow? I ended up throwing out the flightpose stands because the equivalent part kept breaking all the time.

Don't screw them down so hard.

[anime52k8]

Then the arms collapse under the weight of the toy that's on the stand. 

[derex3592]

@anime52k8's question is legitimate -- That's been my problem with the flightpose stands as well over the years. Not supporting huge amounts of weight either, but eventually the base cracks where the rods attach and then your toy/model has a crash...

There is a sweet spot where the arms won't move but the base plate won't crack. Yes, I broke 1-3 base plates to learn this. But the sweet spot is there.

I'm currently looking at 29 Flightpose stands holding toys that don't have cracked base plates. That's not 29 flukes.

Happened to mine as well. The old stands with the black tips are way better. The base is more solid.

Are these Yetistands official ? I'm actually looking for Original Arcadia Stands which i will never take  out of their boxes. I don't take my Arcadias out of the box.  Actually, i have  a Yamato VF-0S which i took out of the box back in the day. If i also could find its original 1/60 Yamato Display Stand and a 1/60  Ghost Drone, i would be super happy and i will open them as well to put on my Yamato VF-0S so i can properly display it.  

But, I don't take my plastic toys out of their boxes anymore. I only diplay stone statues. Plastic toys are displayed in their boxes in my collection, if they can be displayed that way.

No. YetiStands are made by our own @ChaoticYeti. Using high-quality acrylic. The adapters on the other hand are 3D printed so it can accommodate both Bandai's and YamArcadia's Valkyries.

If you're looking for Arcadia Stands, best bet is to watch Mandarake, Jungle, and Yahoo Japan Auction.

[Rhubarbarian]

Sorry for the thread necro but I thought this would be the best place to put this. Arcadia's variable stand is getting a re-release in September, it looks like. A pre-order went up on AmiAmi this morning; it's probably available on other sites as well.

Never realized how good I had it with those YetiStands till they were gone. 😔

[Lolicon]

Ordered multiple Arcadia stands. They're quite nice and I regretted not buying more the first time around, now that yeti isn't around 🙁

[treatment]

Yeah.  The Arcadia launch-arm stands are great and you can never have enough of it.

As such, I still want Arcadia to resurrect the Mighty Blocks and release it with improvements.  They're prolly easier to produce than the Launch-Arms.

I really like using 'em with older Yammies and even Arcadia's in banking poses:

 

Unfortunately, the newer Arcadia SV-51 has gotten a bit too leg-heavy to do banking poses on the Might Block, hence the need for improvements...

This is the stand that I like to have for the most of my 1/60 Valks. Small enough to fit a few on the shelf that I'm planning. That's why I have second thoughts on ordering the Launch Arm one.
